The Library Projetc QAL: February Report

It's month two of The Library Project Quilt Along and I am so excited to share some amazing sponsorship news (yes I am starting right in with the good stuff!)

Welcome to our Sponsors!


http://www.madaboutpatchwork.com/
http://www.fatquartershop.com/

Both of these amazing fabric shops have offered prizes for along the way and our Grand Finale. So generous! If you have not been to these on-line shops just click on their logos and check them out. So much delicious fabric and inspiration.

Because it is the dead of winter (at least it feels that way), I think we need a prize to keep us warm and motivated. From my own library a copy of Tula Pinks City Sampler. We all need more books! I mean that is why we are here in the first place right?!

So, from this month's linky party I will draw a random winner and this book will be swiftly delivered to your mailbox.


This month I picked my first project to work on, City Tracks from City Quilts.


I had plans to use this "yellow' stack of Konas for this project, but when it came down to it, I just wasn't feeling it.
So I dove back into my stash and went in a different color story direction


Much better I feel. So I have been doing a lot of cutting, sewing, ironing and more cutting. Maybe too much since I ended up in a rotary cutter incident (which I talked about earlier this week here).



But now I have this

I am completely in love with this! The tops isn`t sewn together yet, but that is on the agenda for the Maritime Modern Quilt Guild Sew In this Saturday. This pattern is called City Tracks, but I am going to call my version Summer Tracks since the colors are so fresh. My husband wants to call it The Slasher, but have overruled him. I mean I didn`t even get any blood on it in the ``incident``

As a side note this quilt is also totally in keeping with my Fabric Fast. Every bit is from my stash! Feels so good to use what I have! 

So how are you doing with your Library Project...Tell us all about it.
The Linky will be open until February 27th and then I will draw for this month`s prize.

Happy February!
Adrienne

  6. The quilt's looking great. I've been considering this pattern for one of my projects too. But I do think you should subtitle it The Slasher. I mean, Max did spend a long night at the ER with you!

    1. I was wondering the same thing. I was able to add my link and then I thought maybe I shouldn't have but now I don't think I can delete it. I just like the motivation it gives to complete quilts this year :)
