Owl Quilt #2

I took the second owl quilt out of the frame Friday. I've meant to put some pictures on here but never found the time. I still need to do the binding and then I will post the finished quilt. I believe I like this one better than the last.

I have a question for anyone that can help. When I view my blog all I see are the posts. I can't see any of my sidebar info. I can see it on my phone.

What have I done on my computer that prevents me from seeing my sidebar info?

Blogger's Quilt Festival 2012

I thought I would enter my Owl Baby Quilt inf the Blogger's Quilt Festival 2012 just for the fun of it.

My daught needed a baby quilt for a friend of hers and asked me to make an owl quilt.

The design wasn't exactly what I had planned. I ran low on the stripe fabric and had to change it up a little bit. I think for the best

I made 20 owls and only used 12. I have enough started for another quilt

I added the year since the baby isn't born yet and they haven't picked out a name yet either

I really had fun with the quilting

Owl Quilt

I finished the owl quiilt last night and took it out of the frame. I still need to trim and bind it but couldn't wait to show it off. 

I ran a little short on the border and background fabric so I asked my mother to send me a yard that I had sent her. After I got it and completed the top I found another 3 yard piece in my stash - wonder of wonders. must have been hiding. Anyway I used a piece of that for the backing.

Here is a close up of the back

Now I need to put together the other one but since that isn't for anyone it can wait til later.

I'll post another picture after I get the binding on.

Owl Top

I finally got the owl quilt put together with the fabric I had. I have 9 owls left for another baby quilt but that will have to wait for another day. Who knows by the time I get ready to put it together I might have  something else in mind.

Anyway... I did something different and marked it up before I put it on the frame. So now it's framed, marked and ready to quilt. If only I didn't have a ton of alterations to do.
