Black selvage quilt

I did get this selvage top all quilted up this week. it got a quick maze design with my Quiltazoid boards.


I had some floral fabrics on a black background that i used for the middles. i bordered the floral fabric with the same fabric on all 4 sides....then it was anything and everything black and white for the rest of the block.


There were ferns and butterflies


And daisies


I ran out of the floral fabric so i embroidered 4 or 5 blocks with pink variegated thread to make up the number of blocks that i needed.


Had a black with pink roses for the border..


And a black with yellow roses for the back.


I now have 3 tubs of selvage quilts. and the selvages just keep multiplying. hubby says i need to separate the male from the female selvages. LOL  would the female selvages be the floral ones?  i guess that's my problem....i don't know which is which. i do separate by colors....so i don't have any inter-racial selvages. hahahahaha

OK...the brain is going off the deep end....better go to work. see ya..

It's September!!

No....i haven't lost my mind.....it's wandering....but not lost yet.

And, no....i haven't figured out how to time travel....but that might not be bad....i could get away from these 100 degree days.

What i'm talking about is that my crazy quilt blocks for September are finished for the Crazy Quilt Journal Project.

Here is the main one that will be sent in to show. i went with black fabrics this time. and added some white and grays, too.


Added some little heart buttons on this bit of lace.


And some bees to visit the flowers


Had to have a dragonfly. and i found some leftover labels from the label quilt.


A cat seemed appropriate, too.....and another label


A pile of buttons and one more label....with my token fuzzy picture. LOL


Here are the other blocks to go with it....block 2 got a few buttons, too.


Block 3...i've been wanting to use that lace frame for a bit. how about that tape measure trim?


A few more buttons and a tassel


Block 5 got some repeats of the tape measure trim, flowers, and trim piece.


Just had to throw that rose in there for a red pop.


Block 7 has 2 little gold hearts and a silver charm...i think it says spirit .... if i remember correctly.


Block 8


Block 9



One of these has a black tassel on it....but i can't see it in these pics. black and white is hard to photograph.

I haven't a clue what i shall do for October...might need another bright color like red or yellow.

I've been working on a lot of selvage blocks so the next crazy quilt blocks might not get worked on till a bit...
