This QOV is going to Alycia.
It is from the Love of Quilting magazine Sept/Oct 2012, name of pattern is Stars and Stripes. I made the stripes using 1/2 square triangles, the pattern called for curved piecing of the stripes. I really like it. It is 66x80 before washing.
This next quilt is going to Sarah's Ministry.
I have some 1/4 yards of floral fabric, don't know why I bought them. Decided to try the zig zag pattern and the florals were perfect for it. I wanted to make it wider so added a zig zag to each side. I used a soft Kona yellow for the background. This quilt measures 63x68 before washing.
Used - 424.56 yards
Added - 94 yards
Net Used YTD - 330.56 yards
Quilts finished in 2012 - 45
My goals for 2012 are simple~
1 - make one QOV each month.
2 - make one quilt for Ronald McDonald's House each month
3 - finish one already started quilt each month
4 - if I complete the above 3 goals each month I can start one new quilt
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11

I really like the QOV!
Very pretty ironing board. I'm not sure I could iron on something that pretty!
Wow, on the QOV. It's very striking!
Love the QOV and the ironing board is beautiful
Such a pretty ironing board cover!! Too pretty to iron on though. The QOV pattern is very striking. Since I work with them too, I will have to look for that issue. Love it! Your zig zag quilt is fun too. Can you make one whole row of ZZs with 1 fat qtr? If so, I may just have to do something similar with my small stash of florals. Great week for you.
Great year! Love the ironing board cover.

Pretty finishes! Love your new ironing board cover - bet it's very motivating.
Dee Dee!! I love your ironing board cover! I think I need one, too. Mine is a drab and boring green and covered in stains. YUCK! LOL! Thanks for the inspiration! :)
Very pretty cover. Mine is due to be recovered, but I've always done a light colour, which gets stained easy. Is it hard to see what you are ironing on a darker print?
I would be happy to iron on that. Mine seem to get stained as soon as I put them on.
