<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Felicia's Flamingo began with a request from Jessica that I make a small tropical wall quilt for her mom who just moved to Florida. Sure I'm up for a challenge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To get started I went to Weather.com, plugged in Pinehurst, NC, then looked at the Almanac for the highs and lows for 2019.<br />

I tallied each temp and was surprised by the results. We only had3 days total that the high was in the 30's and we had 99 days with the high in the 90's. Wow. I think last year was unusually warm but it does give me an idea what to expect.</div>

American Patchwork & Quilting magazine had a quilt along in the spring of 2019. Since I had so many little leftover fabrics from the Radiance quilt I decided to play along. The pattern was in the magazine and I bought it at the store practically the day it hit the shelves.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_nnN74IMcAA/XYy6UOn3BhI/AAAAAAAAEgw/CMPE32JK4CU2diS8p8pdrx58pJzT1gxngCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_3241.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_nnN74IMcAA/XYy6UOn3BhI/AAAAAAAAEgw/CMPE32JK4CU2diS8p8pdrx58pJzT1gxngCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_3241.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a tray with light units and colorful units.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YFneTx3GwSo/XYy6UJ5T62I/AAAAAAAAEhA/evyfAROTovgjwiyCrvpAbKtUQqXNLN2_gCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_3243.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YFneTx3GwSo/XYy6UJ5T62I/AAAAAAAAEhA/evyfAROTovgjwiyCrvpAbKtUQqXNLN2_gCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_3243.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we sewed the units into blocks. This is 6 blocks on the design wall.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Adding more blocks the pattern begins to emerge.</div>

The way I did the triangle part was to cut sets of the background 3.5" x 4.5" and had those fabrics in order of use laid on my ironing board. Then I cut the triangles as I needed them.</div>

To make sure the blocks didn't get lost or out of order I sewed them into rows as I finished them. There is a single center row that connects mirror image halves. I started on the outside rows and made 2 of each block working toward the center.</div>

She gives us a new clue each Friday. This year I have changed dramatically from her colors to Mardi Gras colors and black for my neutrals.<br />

This is my visual cheat sheet. When Bonnie calls for white and red units, I make them black and purple. This chart kept me from getting confused.</div>

I laid these units out pretty quickly just to get an idea of the color play. I really hope Bonnie makes the outer blocks into a ribbon border like I did here. There are exactly enough blocks to do the outer border on a 72" x 72" quilt. </div>

This quilt will be given to my daughter, Lynn, who is having her bachelorette party in New Orleans later this month. It is her Good Fortune that I used Mardi Gras colors. It's not a traditional wedding quilt but I think it suits her. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a large heap of scrap fabric that needs to be whittled down. This block is sometimes called Puss In The Corner. It uses a surprisingly small amount of fabric. My scrap pile isn't shrinking at all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know what the quilt will be called yet but here is the beginning of it.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since jelly roll fabric is 2 1/2" wide it's perfect to use for this block. Cut 2 identical squares for the sides and one square for the center and one square for the corners. ALL cut 2 1/2" SQ.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CvTw-b03W9c/Ws0AribWK6I/AAAAAAAAERI/Ooc294F35uk1TAXsyXqVKu4IYuS16J34QCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0151.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="920" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CvTw-b03W9c/Ws0AribWK6I/AAAAAAAAERI/Ooc294F35uk1TAXsyXqVKu4IYuS16J34QCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0151.JPG" width="260" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut the pair of matching squares in half. So each piece is 1 1/4" x 2 1/2".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut one of the remaining squares into 4 pieces each 1 1/4" SQ.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Arrange it with the big square in the center and little squares on the outer corners.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
90 blocks on the design wall, not sewn together yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have no idea how big this quilt will be. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I do have a piece of woven fabric I'd like to use on the back of a quilt,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so maybe I'll make these blocks fit to that fabric.....</div>

The website <a href="http://paperpanache.com/">Paper Panache</a> has free fairy godmother patterns.

I like to use colored pencils to color the pieces. It's SOOO much easier to get the colors right and not accidentally put background where hair goes plus you get an idea of what she will look like. I'm adding the fabric license plate SWEET HOME from a quilt shop in Alabama. (My daughter and I love the movie Sweet Home Alabama and this fairy is for her.)</div>

Clue #9 was the reveal on the setting. This was where I jumped ship and did my own thing with the setting. I used her sashing units and sewed them together to make this cool zig zag for the outside border. I used a narrow brown sashing fabric cut 1" wide to frame the blocks and help with the bulky seam joints.</div>

I only used half of the blocks and did a straight setting 5 x 5 plus the border. My quilt top finished at 57"x57" but after quilting and washing it was 54" x 54".</div>

Several years ago I started this plaid quilt which was a Bonnie Hunter design called <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2007/03/this-is-quilt-that-love-built.html">The Quilt That Love Built</a>. I used yellow pages as the paper foundation to sew the plaid blocks. Once all 81 blocks were done I worked on the sashing units. I had all but 30 finished when I packed it away in a UFO box. This fall when my quilt bee had a mini quilt retreat, I took this UFO to work on when my <a href="https://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/on-ringo-lake-mystery.html">On Ringo Lake (Bonnie Hunter 2017 Quiltville Mystery</a> quilt) clue was done.</div>

Here are all the units for the 100 9 Patch posts. One thing I've learned from doing the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilts each fall is that I can sew an enormous amount of units in a short amount of time if I keep at it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My goal was to finish this quilt by early November...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Victory is mine! It's done. The pieced center part of my quilt has 72 Shoo Fly blocks and 71 Double 9 Patch blocks. The original pattern "Omigosh!" by Susan H Garman is larger with over 100 of each block. My finished quilt is 60" x 70".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg00KJNHBJSHenZOaBWqN6IwaqHuYx1iBbKP-hABh5TfEk_kHG_n5wq8G7v6BLCO9PLMatuFbgBSbMYdMbxxb6NjEQTPluLZrBKlcprHYVehEvN8iwr5EcdyePvVhyphenhyphenMis8GTkHrwOEGziI/s1600/IMG_7815.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg00KJNHBJSHenZOaBWqN6IwaqHuYx1iBbKP-hABh5TfEk_kHG_n5wq8G7v6BLCO9PLMatuFbgBSbMYdMbxxb6NjEQTPluLZrBKlcprHYVehEvN8iwr5EcdyePvVhyphenhyphenMis8GTkHrwOEGziI/s320/IMG_7815.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the pattern I used. Next step was to choose border fabrics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XcYF-RNeftA/Wf42mW1n4AI/AAAAAAAAENo/pcC8vyKWxJoAS3OYpp0dir7uxLoKG30nwCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_8133.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="720" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XcYF-RNeftA/Wf42mW1n4AI/AAAAAAAAENo/pcC8vyKWxJoAS3OYpp0dir7uxLoKG30nwCEwYBhgL/s400/IMG_8133.PNG" width="225" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These were all possibilities for the border but I didn't choose any of them for various reasons. (Although I did like the yellow with a narrow red accent, lower right.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zMau5TRs_JQ/Wf45AKK9bhI/AAAAAAAAEN8/hKBhPim1ejgvrRbGPtVk8gh2zpz_R5H4gCLcBGAs/s1600/Image-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1334" height="179" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zMau5TRs_JQ/Wf45AKK9bhI/AAAAAAAAEN8/hKBhPim1ejgvrRbGPtVk8gh2zpz_R5H4gCLcBGAs/s320/Image-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose to use an aqua print with a cream accent stripe for the border.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y1_1PADzeSI/Wf42mfgz30I/AAAAAAAAENo/R86U4tIv2oQr0ME0HGC50Mipdi5KJnV6ACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_8173.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y1_1PADzeSI/Wf42mfgz30I/AAAAAAAAENo/R86U4tIv2oQr0ME0HGC50Mipdi5KJnV6ACEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_8173.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One reason for choosing these was the fact that I had yardage of both so I could use them for the back too! I pieced the backing and added a lovely purple too.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--f56hJ6L2Eg/Wf42myuIQuI/AAAAAAAAENo/PTHnkgxRcUcDmdiGUgZdnQEUWU6_SV8EQCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_8174.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--f56hJ6L2Eg/Wf42myuIQuI/AAAAAAAAENo/PTHnkgxRcUcDmdiGUgZdnQEUWU6_SV8EQCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_8174.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>

My old faithful Bernina 1530 is sometimes temperamental and won't sew the lefthand stitches of the wavy line so I stopped and quilted it on my newer Bernina. I left these stitches in the quilt because I love my old machine and don't fault her for skipped stitches. She sewed the bulk of the quilt already!</div>

Next project started is this Omigosh! quilt designed by Susan H Garman. I'm using all fabrics from my stash so I rummaged around and found some fun things.<br />
<br />

This roll of Jelly Bean Batiks by Laundry Basket Quilts is from 2014 and the 5 yards of white may be older than that! Good thing fabric doesn't have a shelf life!!</div>

I made some into the double 9 patch blocks to see what it would look like.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To finish the 4 patch blocks there must be extra white all around it. I figured out a way to cut the excess "wing tips" off BEFORE sewing it to the 4 patch. </div>

These are the 4 patch units for the Shoo Fly blocks. ALL of these need to be trimmed to 2" square. I've got plenty left to do but my goal is to finish this quilt by early November.</div>

We've been invited to a birthday party for the 2 little girls next door. They both turn 1 this fall. Their birthdays are 2 week apart so the party is right between. I pulled out my pattern for Alyssa's Color Book and made books for Lily and Taliyah.</div>

"Among Friends" was started back in June of 2016 with my quilt bee Spool Girls. <a href="http://susansquiltcreations.blogspot.com/2016/06/among-friends-with-civil-war.html">Post about it is here</a>. The pattern is simple friendship stars but in my opinion way too many triangles!! I really don't know how I got talked into doing this quilt. I ended up making 300 star blocks that are 3" finished. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I could have sworn that I had made more stars than that!)</div>

The backing is a Judy Rothermel print from the "Macie's Journal" line that I found at Zooks in Intercourse, PA. I liked it because it looks more like a 30's print than Civil War but technically it was released with the Civil War line so this is my one and only quilt made nearly exclusively with Civil War fabrics.</div>

I love this digitally printed border fabric, "Joy of Life" by Sylvie Demers, and to preserve the selvage info I used it as part of the hanging sleeve. I dare the quilt police to come after me for it!</div>

I sewed a line of machine quilting from the front to hold the lower edge of the sleeve to the quilt (because I really didn't want to do it by HAND). The loose white part hanging down below the stitching won't unravel because...tada...it's the selvage. Yay.</div>

Amanda Jean Nyberg (the crazy mom herself) is hosting a <a href="http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/2017/06/june-quilt-qal-week-1.html">June Quilt Along</a> and the quilt she is doing is one from her book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/No-Scrap-Left-Behind-Celebrate/dp/1617453366/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491417706&sr=8-1&keywords=no+scrap+left+behind+book">No Scrap Left Behind</a>.

I ordered a white small polkadot print (lower one) for the setting but it reads as GRAY for me and I didn't like it. So I looked through my stash and found a white with black spots (upper one) that was more to my liking and ended up using it. (I should have shopped in my stash first!!)</div>

This quilt started with a pile of plaid or striped strips of fabric paired with a light neutral. The strips were sewn together, cut then sewn into 4 patch units.</div>

Scrap quilts appeal to me, the more fabrics in a quilt the better. Bonnie Hunter's book <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/book-pre-orders.html">Addicted To Scraps</a> has directions for several colorful scrap quilts. I chose the Garden Party quilt to make because it has no triangles! The pattern says the quilt is 82" x 82".<br />

To find a large enough space to lay all the blocks out I had to move the bed in Lynn's old bedroom.</div>

I tweaked the pattern by adding an extra row of white squares so that the last row of red squares remain squares and weren't turned into triangles.</div>

This is how the bed was flipped up against the wall to make room to lay out the quilt. This was where I basted the quilt too.</div>

All the flowers have 2 different fabrics plus a yellow center. I tried to use 100 different yellows for the flowers but when I was putting safety pins in the centers to baste the quilt I found that there was one duplicate! So 99 yellows. But all 100 flowers are different.</div>

Since we aren't currently using a frame for this bed it sits lower and is easier to move. For now this quilt is living in this bedroom because it matches the walls! Before washing my quilt was 84" x 84". After machine washing and drying it was 79" x 79". This was SO MUCH FUN to make!! Happiness!</div>

In each corner of the quilt I added some traffic fabric for the parking lot surrounding the stadium. Although they most likely take Metro to get there, I felt the quilt needed a bit of interest.</div>

Yay. Now can I get it mailed today also?? (I'll work on that in a bit.)<br />

This pillow combines 2 patterns from <a href="http://www.colourwerx.com/" target="_blank">Colourwerx</a> designed by Carl and Linda Sullivan, formerly of <a href="http://www.linderellas.com/" target="_blank">Linderella's Quilt Works</a> in Southern Pines, NC. I always shopped in their store for the beautiful array of Kaffe Fasset fabrics they had. So this dog, flower, background and patterns are all theirs!</div>

This purse is nearly done now. The binding is the worst part of the whole process. I've made this purse 7 times now and each time I've tried a different type of binding. I tried everything from my favorite method of French binding all machine done to traditional binding that is hand stitched. It ALL comes out untidy and icky in my opinion. However, it is hidden on the inside of the purse. That's a blessing. For this purse I prepared 2 yards of bias French binding cut 2.5" wide and I sewed it on with my favorite regular 1/4" foot. This method worked pretty well since this foot is less bulky than the walking foot.<br />

The binding goes around the edges and around the top curves. Start in the center of one long straight edge. Leave a short tail to tuck the other end of the binding into.</div>

Once the French binding is sewn to one side of the seam then it's easy to just flip it over to the other side and sew it down. Just force it into submission!</div>

Strap construction: cut fabric 5 1/4" x 27" and cut fusible fleece 2 1/2" x 20". Fold in 1/2" on each short end and press. Then fold lengthwise in half, press, fold each side in again and press. Lay the fusible fleece in the center and fuse. It should be about 3" away from each end. Then fold the long sides to the middle, and fold the whole thing in half again. Sew around perimeter with a topstitch.</div>
