St Patrick's Day Quilt (Another UFO Finished)

Nearly a year ago I started this quilt for St Patrick's Day.  There was little hope I'd get it done for St Patrick's Day as I started it March 16th!  A week or so later I had it basted and ready to go... and even started quilting it!  And then it sat...

So after taking my sons quilt off the longarm, I decided this one wouldn't be too difficult to finish up...  So onto the longarm it went, and then sat for a few days - the machine needed cleaning.  Now its not too difficult to clean the machine... takes me about 20min... so yesterday I finally cleaned the machine and started quilting.

Two of the 4-Leaf Clover blocks were quilted on my domestic machine, two on the longarm.  All the sashing has stitch-in-the-ditch done on my domestic machine as is the leprechaun block.  The Irish Chain blocks and outer border was completed on the longarm.

Can you tell which of these two blocks were done on the longarm?



Leprechaun Artwork Copyright Sweet Stamping Treats Designs, digitized by me (Leah @ L3 Designs).  I designed the quilt around the pot of gold fabric and the leprechaun.  The Hearts were cut out using my Accuquilt Go.

Productive Friday Night Sew In

A productive night...

St Patrick`s Day Quilt:
Further progress includes adding all the borders, cutting, assembling the binding and cutting out the  backing.  Its ready for basting!




Saturday Update:  The quilt is now pin basted!




UFO Challenge - March
The number chosen for March was 1!  This was great, a nice simple one, assuming I could find it... It only took 2-3minutes to find tonight, and I was off to finish up - even better was that the binding for the project was folded up with the project.  So finish some of the quilting, square it off, and sew on the binding.  Then I machine stitched down the binding, I`m quite happy the way this one turned out.

This project originally started in May 2009 when I made 6 of these. Only 5 were finished then... the one that didn`t get finished was for my husband.  Now he has one to take into work!



Lily's Quilts QALQuilt Along Progress
I cut out my fabric for the Dresden circles tonight.  I did have some difficulties with the template, so ended up redrawing it instead of trying to print it again to have it off size.  Thanks for listing the sizes on it...  I will need to look at the background pieces once I have the background fabric.
I hope I can keep up with the progress of this quilt as the kids are on Spring Break for the next two weeks!





Only one other project attempted tonight - hemming a pair of my sons pj pants... they were a Christmas gift!
