TOP of the Day to You!

Yup…she’s a topper!  Or as some quilters like to call a finished quilt top…she’s a flimsy!

Mr. Sweet P held her up for me as I made it a lot bigger than the pattern.

This is a Jaybird Quilt’s Design called ‘Science Fair’ and it was a joy to make!  The instructions were crystal clear with tons of illustrations and it came in BOOK form (and at the price of a normal pattern!)  There was absolutely no guess work…everything was included in the pattern!!  I look forward to buying more of Jaybird patterns!

This quilt is for my middle daughter…she is going to be amazed at how fast this quilt went together!  Well maybe not that fast…she did pick out the fabric and pattern over a year ago…or was it TWO years?  HEY… Rome wasn’t built in a day! 

Time to fire up the mid-arm and put the pedal to the metal and get this puppy finished!! 

Have a FUN Friday and happy Stitching!~P

  4. I love that pattern! At quilt retreat there were three women making the same quilt--a pattern called Wood Rose--awful pattern, terrible directions, they started calling it the damn Thorny Rose quilt instead of Wood Rose.
