Good Fortune Baby Quilt | Finished or Not Friday Linky Party!

Welcome to Finished or Not Friday where you can share your finished {or not} projects!

Oops, I totally forgot about Finished or Not Friday!  Some secret pattern designing and sewing have taken over every brain cell; that's my excuse!

My Finish is a patchwork baby quilt in Good Fortune by Kate Spain.

This quilt was sewn and quilted several months ago, but I found nothing in the stash that matched for binding, so there it sat.  Somehow, a fabric came through the door {cough, cough} during a stash-building spree that just happened to match.

This quilt will be for sale in my Etsy shop as soon as my imaginary fairy helper gets it there.

Quilt Stats:

Pattern:  10" squares patchwork
Size:  38" x 47"
Fabric:  Good Fortune by Kate Spain
Batting:  Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 cotton/poly
Quilting:  Orbit Chevron on Gratitude
Backing:  Fun polka dots, probably Riley Blake

Good Fortune Lap Quilt | Finished or Not Friday Linky Party!

Welcome to Finished or Not Friday where you can share your finished {or not} projects!

My Finish is a lap size patchwork quilt in Good Fortune.  This is the last of this collection in my stash.  I am beginning to see shelves in my fabric closet again!

The pictures were taken on what hopefully wasn't the last sunny day until spring.  😨  It's really gray here in the winter which makes it difficult to take pictures of quilts.  

Quilt Stats:

Pattern:  Big ol' squares.
Size:  47" x 57"
Fabric:  Good Fortune by Kate Spain
Batting:  Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 cotton/poly
Quilting:  Diagonal plaid bias on Gratitude.

This quilt is for sale in my quilt shop!

Baby Picket Fence Quilt in Good Fortune {My February Goal!}

My One Monthly Goal for February 2016 is a baby Picket Fence quilt in Kate Spain's Good Fortune collection!  Picket Fence is the first pattern I wrote and is the best-selling of all my patterns by far!  This is a custom order through my Etsy shop, so I'd better have it completed in February!

I have two layer cakes but will only need part of one, so there will be plenty left to play with!  The blue is the binding, and the gray is the backing, though the backing may end up pieced in some manner.  This is the last of my Good Fortune yardage, and since I'll have lots of layer cake squares left, I'll keep my eye out for more yardage at a great price.  One advantage of not using brand-new collections right away and letting them age on the shelf is that yardage for backing is usually at a very reduced price by the time I get around to needing it!
