Quilt U Be Mine Reveal Day!

I recently participated in the Quilt U Be Mine Round Robin held by Michele over at Quilts From My Crayon Box. This is the second round robin I've participated in with her and it was so much fun all over again. This one was a bit harder for me since we don't usually celebrate Valentine's Day, but my robin mates were wonderful and followed my lead. I added some black and kept it from looking 'heart-ey' so they did as well. Just like last time, they did not disappoint and I absolutely love how it turned out.

Here is what I started with, my center block that I originally sent out.

When I received it a few weeks ago, it had advanced to this...

Isn't it gorgeous? I just love it. I am debating just adding more borders and creating a lap quilt out of it for one my nieces. I have one whose birthday is coming up at the end of this month who is turning 18. I thought this would be perfect. It is approximately 41 inches square at this point.

I want to give a huge shout out to Michele! She has been so wonderful to come up with these Round Robin ideas. They have been so fun and I have two fabulous pieces to work with now because of them. Thank you Michele!

I also want to thank my group of ladies who worked on my quilt. To Terrie, Megan and Vicki... you guys rock! I love it so much and want to send each of you a big hug in thanks for how it turned out. Thank you so much!

Be sure to check out the links to all the other group members pieces over at Michele's blog. I can't wait to see how everyone's quilts turned out!

Last but Not Least...

I finished and sent out my last border for the Quilt U Be Mine Round Robin yesterday. I won't say where it went but I kind of wish I had gotten to go with it! Very jealous. I will elaborate when I know it has been received but i thought I'd add a wee hint of what I added. Not enough to really know anything but just enough to wonder!

It's kind of blurry because I took an overall picture and cropped this off, but that's okay because it helps with the whole mystique of it being a hint! Make sure to check back in on Feb. 14th for the big reveal. I got mine back already and I absolutely love it. I may just do a reveal on it since it won't be finished by that time. I'm thinking about adding more borders to take it out to lap quilt size and let it be for one of my nieces. What are you working on today?

WIP Wednesday

I didn't even post a WIP last week because it was so sad. Nothing done. I'm slowly getting back into the swing. I have many UFO's to tackle but also several smaller projects to work on as well.
First I've done some more work on my gray, aqua, and yellow Granny Square quilt. Pretty sure this one is going on point with sashing between 4 blocks.

We got my daughter a Kindle Fire for her birthday and she requested a case like the one I made myself. She picked out some owl fabric and I also received my first block to work on in the Quilt U Be Mine Round Robin.

I didn't realize the block was upside down until I resized the picture!
I'm also working on some scarves from ruffled jersey I picked up from Hobby Lobby. So far I've made a purple one for me, a black one for my neighbor and this aqua blue is sitting around waiting to become one as well!

Hooking up to Lee's so I can see what you guys are working on!
