My 3rd Quilt - It's a Hoot

Another quilt done. Finally. At this rate, I'm averaging 4 a year. I bought this fabric, Hooty Hoot by Riley Blake, back in AUGUST. CaRazy.

I didn't use a pattern this time. I just cut up one of the panels and then made borders and stuff. I much prefer using a pattern.


This quilt ended up being 44 x 52 which is a good throw size.



I ended up using the variegated thread and love it.

I also did some creative quilting inside the squares around the animals and stuff. Ya I'm not that talented.


I pieced the back and I'm pretty sure it's crooked.



I love it. Owls make me happy.


I think I should've picked a different binding because it's very white on white with the border.



I already have a pattern and fabric for the next quilt.

Oh and my I-spy quilt. I might actually get 5 done in a year.

Don't hold your breath.

I bow down to your domestic goddess skillz! I consider threading a needle to sew on a button a newsworthy accomplishment.

You rocked this! You know that is what is so awesome about making stuff yourself - it does not have to be perfect. That way it is more special when it is handed down from generation to generation - they will always know that Crazy Brandy made this quilt in her own special way!

I agree with Sheila, you shouldn't be all down on yourself, telling us all the faults! Be proud! I think it looks awesome and I'm glad you chose the variegated thread :)
