Project #6 - The Jeff Quilt

For my birthday I had the idea to have a virtual birthday party on my Facebook event page where everyone would post a pic of themselves, kids, pets, loved ones, wearing a tiara to celebrate my day of birth. Those who did post a pic would be entered in a quilt giveaway and the winner would be announced the evening of my birthday. Jeff was the first to post, and ironically ended up winning the drawing as well.

I thought I wouldn't buy the fabric for the Jeff Quilt until I got my puppy spayed (she's 9 months old and had her first heat - yuck to the nearest thousandth) but I changed my mind. Princess Lily Bear shouldn't have another heat cycle for 6 months, and I plan to have her spayed in May without fail. There's just too much death right now to risk something happening to my puppy on the operating table! She is a demon puppy at times but I still love the little beast. Anywho, I decided to use a pattern from the Summer 2011 Fons & Porter's Easy Quilts magazine. The design is called "Out of the Box" by Catherine Purifoy.

Note: I did scan this image and had it on my computer but the Internet or Blogger wouldn't upload it. So I went non-computer savvy and took a pic of it, thus the crappy quality.

The construction looks like this and it's magnificant!

The following are the colors I've chosen for the Jeff Quilt:

 

 

 

 

 

TA-DA!

So when will I begin yet another quilt top? I have no idea. I need to review the design to make sure I have enough different color fabrics before I do anything. For some reason, I'm more into assembling quilt top than actually finishing a project. Ugh. Sometimes I make myself crazy.
