I have discovered a second Millefiori Quilt project! Love this book & the smaller size of these! Had to start on this one also & here is my first center! I have this quilting bug bad right now, as it's all I want to do, lol! Feels good though, just hope I can keep it going & get alot done! This center measures 7.5 inches. Love this size! Forgot to mention about the other quilt in previous pics, the first rosette measures 35in across, & the second one measures 37in across, so nice to have these in two sizes to work on now! 

 

Ahh, my second rosette if finished & here it is! Love how this one turned out too! Wonder what I can come up with for #3? Time will tell, as this adventure continues for me, lol...

 

My fascination with the Millefiori Quilt-Along continues! I can't seem to stop stitching on it, which is a good thing I guess, lol! Working on round 3 of the second one now, & love how it is all coming together! Here is a pic of round 2 completed, laying on a lovely tile counter top in my recently remodeled kitchen! I could not have imagined how much fun EPP & hexies could be! I was growing tired of my little GFG flowers project & looking for something else to keep my attention. Then I found the new book, The New Hexagon, then a group was started on facebook for this project & so the fun has begun! I plan to come back with another pic, once I have this one altogether!

My most recent project & a finish for the first part of it!

A new quilting book caught my attention awhile back! It's title "The New Hexagon". Shorty there after, I saw a post on Facebook, about this book, & a new quilt along starting in a group on there! So, excited, I joined the group! Seems a quilt is being designed as we make it, month by month! This one is a Millefiori quilt & I am loving it! It's all done by using the English Paper Piecing method, all by hand, mind you! I am a bit slow on hand quilting, but am bound & determined to do this one, no matter how long it takes me! Love, love, love it, & the challenge! Just what I needed in my quilting right now, & it came along at just the right time! So, here is my first rosette, finally finished, as of late last night & I am already, slowing, working on building the second one! Can you tell I am hooked on these, I think so, lol!....

I was in the mood to make a whole little quilt yesterday, the top anyway! I managed to accomplish just that, yeah! This one is little indeed, will finish about 16"x16". That's small for me & my type of projects, but hey, that's okay, & I love it already! Great way to try different patterns too, so I may get the hang of doing some of these little quilts too! This one is from the book "Micro Mini Quilts" by Moose Porch Quilts. Neat little booklet, see more in here I want to try! The strip on top will be a border or binding fabric, once I figure out how I want to accomplish that. Anyway, love this one & wanted to share it here....

I  am so happy to say I finished quilting my quilt that I posted pics of here last post! It was an adventure, but a pleasant journey also! I quilted it in sections, on my domestic machine & I used a stencil & tracing paper to do it! Love, love, love how it turned out! Now I can think about what next! We found this great dragonfly stencil in Joanns & then I knew how I wanted to quilt this beautiful quilt! I did it in sections, the sewed all the sections together. I learned alot more doing this one too, which should help my future quilting adventures. Okay, here goes!

Time to make a quilt, quilt it, that is, lol!...

Not sure why, but I am in the mood to machine quilt a quilt top. Good idea really, since I have lots to choose from! Decided on one I did in sections, a keeper, for our queen size bed! We recently found this neat Dragonfly free motion quilting template at Joann's & I think that helped inspire me, since I am dying to give it a try, lol! Even went back & bought another simialar, with roses in it! Now I have some new toys to play with & try out! This one is asian prints, mostly florals, & I added a few batiks to it! The blocks are Drunkards Path, which I love, & I have six separate sections to quilt, then stitch together, & add a border to. I got the first one all sandwiched & pin basted & ready to quilt! I used PressNSeal to trace the stencil on, & can peel it off once I am done stitching... This first section is like a test run, then I will go from there! Here are a couple of pics of sections of this quilt, to give you an idea of what I am building! .... Now, another part of my quilting journey can begin, & I will post a pic when I finish this first section, wish me luck & stay tuned!...
