Staying Positive is finished!

My latest finish, "Staying Positive", from Brigitte Heitland's "Pluses Quilt" pattern is ready to go! This was my OMG for November.

This quilt was made during the Pluses Quilts QAL earlier this year. I quilted it myself on one of Elly Prins's long-arm machines at the end of October. This is the throw size, but as you can see in the photo above, it's almost large enough for a double bed.

This was my first time using a long arm machine and, although my result is far from perfect, I'm satisfied with it, and I learnt a lot that day.

The fabrics in the pluses are from my stash, and the background fabric and binding is Kona "Storm".

I'm linking to Elm Street Quilts for the One Monthly Goal link up.

Happy sewing

Pluses quilt is a top

My September goal has been to complete the top of my Pluses quilt that I have made during Brigitte Heitland's quilt along of the same name. Pluses quilt is the working title, now mine has been renamed "Stay Positive" For the first time in a very log time I have achieved my goal!

Although it's a lap quilt it's too big for me to quilt on my domestic machine, so it will soon be heading towards the long-armer. This will be a first.

Fabric used:

4 metres Kona "Storm", although there is a lot left so I'll use it for the binding too.

Pluses in fabric from stash. They measure 6" square, and 9" square.

This has been a very interesting experience; it's the first time I've cut all the fabric for a quilt before making a stitch!
