Mod Olives QAL ~ Finishing up and a Giveaway!

It's been 6 weeks since the Mod Olives QAL started.  I hope everyone had a good time with it!  

I did find out the block was a bit more difficult to put together for those of you using the Quick Curve Ruler for your first time but we hope you stuck with it and enjoyed the process.

In a few days I would like to share everyone's Mod Olives quilts or quilt tops here on my blog.  If you have posted your quilt on the Mod Olives Flickr page I will get your picture there but if you haven't and would like to share it with us then you can email it to me at sewkindofwonderful@gmail.com

Now for the Giveaway!!!
Along with posting everyone's Mod Olives quilts or quilt tops I will also have a drawing and announce the winner of this fun little table runner!  I plan on doing some custom quilting on it today!  Maybe that will be a little motivation for you.


 So....go finish up your Mod Olives quilts!  Looking forward to seeing them all!!

Mod Olives is Finished!

Finished my Mod Olives quilt!


I had fun coming up with 24 different feather designs for each block!


I'm happy with my feathers for the most part.  Some were kind of weird...like the bottom left one in the picture above.  Looks like toes.


Half way through the quilt I thought of a great quilting design for the print diamonds and had to do one out of curiosity.  It's the bottom left block in the picture above.


My favorite feather is the top left one in the picture above.  Love that one!


I really like the quilting in the background diamonds.  It helped give consistency to this quilt.  This quilt is quilted a little to busy for my liking but it was fun coming up with a bunch of feathers and hopefully I was able to give some of you some feather quilting ideas.  I of course can't take credit for all these feathers.  I have been inspired by some of them through some very talented quilters over the  past 7 years.


I always love looking at the before and after quilting pictures.


I like the black and white binding.  It helped the quilt feel grounded to me.

Hope you all are finishing up your Mod Olives quilt tops.  Looking forward to seeing them all!

Quilting on Mod Olives!

I've just started quilting up my Mod Olives quilt!  Should be fun!  I've challenged myself to do a different feather on each of the 24 blocks.....why?  Because I get to bored if I do the same thing over and over and over....and to give you all some feather ideas for your own Mod Olives quilt!


I've done up 3 so far.


Only 21 more to go!

...and if you happen to be in the Spokane, WA area this weekend, I'll be there on Saturday!  Come see me and sign up for a Metro Rings class!  


Details are above.
