Fun Bright Wall hangings

I have been playing with my bright fun colors. I still need to hand sew the binding on the Smile Outloud one.
I just love these chickens.
Played with the machine quilting.
And a bit of liberated pieceing.
I had help while I was working.

We had our St. Patrick's day party at mom's yesterday. All the women made "green" crafts to exchange. My daughter did these plates. My mother did these trays. It has an Irish blessing embroidered on a beautiful batik then covered with plexi glass. Click on the picture to see more detail.

I did my fabric bowls I showed in a blog a couple of days ago.

I have been working on my new design wall. I am makeing this pieced letter wall quilt for my daughter. It is getting there. Still needs more work

Quilt top put together hmmm

Well I finally got all the parts put together. Hmmm I'm thinking I need to add some kind of border to ground it all. This quilt started with just Liberated stars and grew from there. I did not really have a plan just started makeing parts and put them together.

More Bright parts made in the Sewing Cave!

I keep adding more parts to this quilt....I told myself I wanted to keep this one small enough to hand quilt with out being buried. hmmm Well I am use these "sawtooth strips to devide the larger blocks. I decided to add a strip of flying geese to add a center line to the quilt.

I started sewing the parts in rows and found I needed to make a couple more liberated stars.

This is Princess servaying her domain, but it isn't her good side. (by the way the HUGE tv that over powers my liveing room is the one we brought home from when we had to close the bar lol)

Ah Here is her good side.

Liberated Star pictures from the Sewing Cave

As promised here are some pictures of the pieces I have been working this weekend. I still plan on doing some pieced strips to go lengthwise between the blocks. I am trying to keep this quilt on the smaller lap size. I would like to do some unique hand quilting with thicker threads.

I really enjoy doing this funky liberated quilting. There is so much freedom to it. If a part is not quite the perfect size or the seam is not completely straight that is ok, adds to the unique look.
