Quilts of September #15

Hourglass

60 x 80

I won a layer cake in a drawing a few years ago. Last year I decided to do something with it and I ended up making stack and whack Hourglasses.  The layer cake was kind of a weird one - it had some of what I would consider baby quilt type squares along with floral ones. I pulled out the baby squares for some other someday quilt and added in some of my own florals, polka dots and ginghams. 

I quilted it 1/2 inch from the seams vertically, horizontally and diagonally.  I thought I had some variegated pink, blue and white thread but couldn't find it when it came time for quilting so I ended up using white thread. Of course I found that variegated thread a couple of days later. 

For the binding I used different pastel scraps in pink and blue.

I finally found the perfect quilt for the pink and white striped cotton sheet I picked up from the thrift store ages ago. 

That's finish #15 for September!

My OMG (One Monthly Goal) is to see how many quilts I can finish in September.

And on to the next!

(How many will I finish in September????)
