Ritzy Quilting Company received in the Wild Orchid line of fabric earlier this month. I made a quick shop sample. Very quick. In just 2 hours I had the center of the quilt pieced. The pattern is “The Easiest 3 Yard Quilt Pattern Ever!” by sewcanshe.
I tweaked the borders, cutting the inner border 2 1/2″ and the outer border 4 1/2″. When purchasing the fabric I opted to get an extra 1/4 yard of each fabric.
After binding the quilt I took it up to the shop where it hangs on the wall behind the display of the fabric.

I made this quilt as part of the Kansas Troubles Quilter Quilt A Long. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a holiday quilting finished timely. Currently it is hanging on the quilt rack in my bedroom waiting to be put on the bed.

Progress has been made on Monterrey Medallions. The rest of the stars are cut out, I just need to sit and sew.
Nice finishes. A Holiday Quilt finished before the Holiday is a Great thing. I’m finishing a baby Quilt. Should have it done quickly, it’s small. Nice to have the chance to make samples. I loved doing that at Hancocks. Still miss that Job!
