Yippee! Clue 5 has been finished! Between my having a cold last week, having a client project to work on, and the Christmas holiday, this clue was slow to get finished. But finished it is! You can see the final product for this clue above. I'm getting more and more curious as to how all these pieces will come together! How about you?
Since I mentioned the client project, I'll show it to you. :) My sister-in-law asked me to make a quilt to be a given as a gift. Since I was going to see her on Christmas Day, I decided I'd try to get it done so I could deliver it when we gathered together for Christmas Day celebrations. I managed to pull it off, putting the last stitches into the binding the morning before the celebration. Talk about squeaking under a deadline LOL.
The person to receive this quilt is a big fan of the University of Oregon Ducks. Can you tell? LOL! I used Ducks-themed fabric in the body of the quilt and a different themed fabric for the outermost border. I found other fabrics in similar greens and yellows, in a variety of interesting prints and patterns, to round out the rest of the materials for the quilt. The pattern I used to make this quilt is called Wicked Easy Quilts, and it surely lives up to its name. It was a free pattern that you can find here:

So, that's it for now. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, and I wish all of you the very best in the New Year.
Great quilt pattern! The units look great and I'm hoping we get to join some units together this week. Looking forward to clue 6.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra! I'm with you, I hope we get to start joining units together in clue 6. We get to find out tomorrow! :)
DeleteLove your Easy St fabrics!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting the Ducks quilt done on time.
Thank you very much! I'm liking how the units are looking, now I want to see how to put them together LOL.
DeleteYour blocks look really good Valerie and the quilt is sure to please the Oregon Ducks fan! Thanks for sharing the link to the quilt. Can't wait for Friday's next clue!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Tami. I love that pattern, even with a quilt as big as this one, you can make it in a day. The blocks are 16" finished and there are only 6 pieces per block. That's quite different from Bonnie's blocks LOL.
DeleteLove your Easy Street fabrics
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I can't wait to see how the units come together.
DeleteHey there, I'm trying to help out a friend of mine. She made the Wicked Easy Quilt and wants to make it again but the pattern on the original site is different now. I was wondering if you had the original pdf anywhere and if you'd be willing to e-mail it to me? Thanks for your time ^_^
ReplyDeleteOh boo, I didn't realize that the pattern link had been taken down. That's a shame. I may have it around here somewhere. Give me your email address and if I have it, I'll send it to you.
DeleteTo anyone who might start shouting out "Copyright infringement!", note that this was a free pattern to begin with. All original copyright information and ownership information is in the PDF... not something I could remove or alter, even if I wanted to. :) The original designer will get full credit for her design. I promise. :)
