Lily's Quilts

Hello! Welcome to Fresh Sewing Day! It's been a while since I linked up with Lily's Quilts for the review of the month and I am glad I did. It's great sharing and visiting to new blogs and quilts I would not have seen otherwise. 
February had a lot of sewing in it; mainly working on two things Galaxy Quilt (top right photo) & Mini Quilt for the Ellison Lane Quilt contest (middle bottom photo). In between those two things I have been putting blocks together for the Warm/Cool QAL (middle row photos) and playing with scraps. 

After completing the Galaxy Quilt I needed the freedom of playing with scraps and making something quickly..you know the instant gratification quilt. So I put together the Rainbow Scrappy Pot Holder and loved how it turned out so much I made a couple more blocks and shared the tutorial with you.  

Another little project the scrappy vintage modern quilt (bottom left photo) was born from the same need for something to complete. I made the top and then waited until a quilting design came to mind. When it did I started sewing little lines down the negative space and it felt just right. It was also practice for the mini quilt quilting which I am still working on...but almost done and it is feeling just right too. 

March has plans for the changing of the seasons. I have just a few more little sewing things to start or finish but no new big projects are looming for me. Instead it will be time to start seeds indoors and peas and greens outdoors for the summer veggie garden. Something me and Baby J can work on together. 

Thanks for checking out my month in review! Happy Sewing Everyone!
Cheers!
Kelly

Hi Kelly - Thanks so much for being the author of the first comment on my blog - so exciting! And I very much appreciate your words of encouragement. I just took a quick tour of your blog (and subscribed) - love it! I'll be reading through your tutorials after I leave this comment - I'm especially looking forward to reading the quilting tips but I'm excited that you have gardening tips as well since I promised my daughters that this would be the year we would start a garden together in the backyard.
