It's only a quilt top and a grainy picture, but that's all I've got today folks. I'm not feeling it much at the moment, but I do plan to quilt it tomorrow, so that may change things. And perhaps I'm just lagging from the demands of the day's merry-making.
Today we celebrated Liam's 4th birthday with an ooey, gooey cake and quite the "blast" of a party. Feed little boys and girls chocolate cake and then run along outside to launch model rockets, and everyone's happy. Yes, sirree, it was fun. {this mommy is exhausted}
Good thing there's one little piece of cake left...
I love your quilt! I especially love the little bit of green patchwork off to the side. Very cool! The greens and browns works so well together. Very earthy.
ReplyDeletesee, I knew I would like it as a rectangle too! Looks great - and the border anchors the chaos of the strips
ReplyDeleteI actually like it better with the border! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteNice! Happy mommy-anniversary. : ) (I have a Liam too!). And have a lovely Valentine's.
ReplyDeleteI love your spider web cut into a rectangle. The little extra in the border looks great too.
ReplyDeletewow that cake looks yummy :)
ReplyDeleteQuilts lovely too!
Oh it turned out FAB!! I love the pieced border... Love it.. and my tummy is rumbling xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt and yummy cake.
ReplyDeleteHappy quilting. I think it's a neat quilt top.
ReplyDeleteAnd mmmm, that cake looks yummy!
Hello! It became really adorable! The brown around is good and looks new! I love your new quilt! What you'll make with the corners you cut out?
ReplyDeleteVow - the best cake ever, strawberries and chocolate!
Ooooo....I like what you did with the border!
ReplyDeleteit looks fab rachel! Better than I expected after your worries. The little fun bit in the border helps a lot because it tells us that this was all very deliberate choice. Trust us...it is worthy of you and you'll look back later and see what we see.
ReplyDeleteOh, you do like it? Hurray! Thanks so much for saying so. Beaming.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt, looks great. I'm sure once you have it quilted you will see its beauty.
ReplyDeleteAlso L-O-V-E the looks of that cake...recipe? :D
Hey! I just started reading this blog today, and I have to say, I LOVE seeing the Sixth Time's a Charm quilt in progress. I'm not a quilter by nature, but I love the quilted look. I just got Handmade Beginnings for Christmas, and that beautiful quilt makes me want to take the dive! Thanks for your post on reducing scraps (though the pillow is on my list for my daughter's "big girl" room.) Anyway, love the blog. Love the colors. Love the inspiration. :)
ReplyDeleteI think the quilt top looks great!
ReplyDeleteoooh, the cake recipe is from the Williams Sonoma baking cookbook. It was gifted to us years ago and I love to cook from it! Basic concept is a choco cake with chocolate whipped cream topping/filling and chopped strawberries. But, guess what, my husband ate that last piece up before I could get to it. DARN.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cake, and beautiful quilt top! You were busy this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love it! The little patchwork on the side is my favorite part. And that cake... wow!
ReplyDeleteJennifer :)
I like that little bit you put in the border! Sounds like a great birthday. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt! It looks so complicated!
