This is Fancy Nancy Polar Fleece that I got for an amazing clearance price from Joann.com . My granddaughter found it and started using it as a blanket when she stays here while her mom works the overnight shift . So I trimmed it up , turned under the edges and did a decorative stitch around it . She will be so proud of my finish when she comes over next time !!<br />

Please excuse my shoes and the clutter in the background !! This is a reversible apron ( it's the dark green<br />
on the back like the trim and ties ) . I combined 2 tutorials and am pleased with how it turned out ! It's for my secret Santa swap partner also . I sure hope she likes these 2 items !<br />

<br />
I am a member of JUST US QUILTERS group on facebook .<br />
I wanted to make a few blocks for a monthly project : https://www.facebook.com/groups/JustUSQuilters/doc/339864252726460/<br />
<br />
well , It turned into more and more , and then I decided to make the whole quilt to help out the gal<br />
that would be collecting the blocks and creating quilts to donate ! I think that is why it's special to<br />
me ! I had the quilting done by a longarmer ; she quilted flowers in each block and she did an<br />
awesome job ! Beth , the gal in charge of the project , was pleased with it . I sent it to her a few<br />
weeks ago and I cut some strips and sent them to her for the rest of the quilts she will be making !<br />
God bless her !!!!<br />
<br />
Beth picked the block and requested purple be in it . I kept in contact with her to make sure it was<br />
what she was thinking of .<br />
<br />
I learned to NOT waste time trying to figure out placement and this and that . I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what would look best ; and found myself looking at blocks online that others had made and went with the light and dark placements from what I liked !!! I am not artistic !! I just sew !!!!! I'm not a<br />
'designer' and look and stuff and do what looks good to ME ! I have been quilting for almost 4 years ; have been sewing for over 40 years or so ! ( wow ; I'm getting old ! ) . <br />
<br />

I made this for my grandkids ; do I have a picture of THEM with it -- NO !!!<br />
They have used it on inside picnics and to play on ,<br />
but it has not made it on an OUTSIDE picnic, since my daughter<br />
thinks it's "TOO NICE" to put on the ground . I told her there is always next year and<br />
that is what I made it for ! ( I still have not returned it to them ..... yet ............. the<br />
bright colors make me HAPPY! ) My grandson has used it as a bed quilt , so it's getting<br />
used and loved on !!<br />
The pattern is from AMY ELLIS's book , Modern Basics ; Posi Patch . I changed the layout<br />
a little and left the applique off . This was the 1st quilt that I hand sewed the binding on . I did not<br />
enjoy this process ; it frustrated me ! and I feel it's not as secure as machine stitching both sides .<br />
So to save me time and further frustrations , I will be machine stitching bindings !!! Also , I;m not<br />
a fan of hand stitching much of anything .................... I like to get done quicker !!<br />
