Done and Delivered and NTT

Hey there, ya'll.  First of all, I want to thank all of you who reached out about my mom.  Her surgery went very well and so far, her recovery has been smooth.  She will definitely have to have radiation, and at this point, we are still waiting for the full pathology to determine whether she will have to have chemo as well.  But her prognosis is still good, and we're holding onto that.  I'm so glad I was able to be there all last week to help out.

As planned, I finished up this Ole Miss quilt and got it delivered before I left, and my friend loved it!

If you missed my last post, this quilt is a replacement for one I made for her several years ago.  She lost it when her car was stolen and wanted one as similar as possible.

I quilted this one all over with a quick stipple, and it has lots of great crinkly texture.  The stacked squares pattern is definitely one of my favorites for making a team quilt.  It works so well with just a small amount of licensed fabric, and my friend specifically wanted a limited amount of team fabric.

I used all the leftover block quarters on the back, along with the last bit of licensed fabric to finish out the stripe.  From a distance you can't see it, but the beige looking fabric in the middle is a small red and blue stripe.  You can see it close up in the photo above (bottom left).  I found this awesome polka dot fabric in the perfect shades of blue to finish the backing.

And though it looks solid, the red binding is a tonal crosshatch.  Other than the two team fabrics and the stripe I mentioned above, every bit of fabric for this quilt was purchased since my stash has been completely used up, and it felt a little weird to have to do precise calculations to be sure I bought exactly enough.   It was fun though!

Alright friends, let's check out some highlights from our last party!  This lovely quilt is from Jan at the Colorful Fabriholic, and it looks super cozy and perfect for the season!

This bright beauty is from Maggie at Making a Lather, and if you missed her post, she actually shared several finishes!

And finally, Sandra at mmm quilts linked up this gorgeous quilt.  You know I can't resist a scrappy rainbow!

*If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop"  when selecting your thumbnail photo.  For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work!  :)
