WIP Wednesday

That's me...a work in progress.  Who knows what I am supposed to be doing?  Not me...But in that light, I start school today.  Not super excited.  Really, I'm just super tired.  ;)

But I do have a fun WIP to share today. 


I made a patchwork quilt top from two Riley Blake charm packs (collection- Sidewalks).

Forgive the wrinkles.  Apparently, if you fold something up for a weekend, it needs to be ironed afterwards. 

The top is currently 40.5 x 45.  I added a few solids in, to make it a rectangle. 
I just wanted something simple and cute to make.  I love it so far. 



Isn't this fabric adorable!!!!  Perfect for a baby, or toddler, quilt.  Really it would be cute as a baby bag, baby cloths...anything.

Now I just have to get backing.  I was going to go with a super soft rose minky that I had on hand.


But I don't have enough.  Isn't that the pits??  *sigh 
I thought about going out to get more, but Pink Castle Fabrics was (is? not sure) have a Skinny Bolt sale (SKINNY20).  There are three fabrics from this line in the sale, so I just bought bit and am waiting on it for the backing.   Can't wait to get it in!

Can you piece minky?  I'm not sure.  What would you do with left-over minky?

    Very, very cute. Do you have a recipient in mind, or do you sell your quilts?

    This quilt top is darling. You can piece Minky, but you use a half inch seam. The seams naturally fall open. You also have to make sure that the nap of the fabric is going the same direction. I plan on making stuffed animal sleeping bags with some of my left over Minky.

    super sweet, Katelyn! I've actually never sewn with minky fabric, so I don't really know if you can piece it or not. that will be such a lovable quilt when it's done!

    Thanks for sharing at Needle and Thread Thursday!

    Looking good! I've used leftover minky for the back of a taggie.

    You can sew minky together by just using a 1/2" seam instead of 1/4" standard. Minky tends to roll. I think you should go for it. It is so pretty!! I LOVE the fabric line you used!
