Boho Heart Top Complete!

I finished the top!  I really like it!  I ordered a wide back and when that comes Cheryl Bradford is going to quilt it for me 🥰. This was a really fun quilt to make.

 

Boho Heart Quilt

Finally a chance to get into the sewing room!  I laid out all of the Boho Heart quilt blocks and starting cutting the background strips.  The background strips were supposed to be cut at 1.5 inches to finish at one inch!  That is a LOT of seams, not to mention a lot of cutting and piecing.  My friend asked if it could be done with 2.5 inch strips so I decided to figure that out!  With some modifications, for example while most of the strips are 2.5 inches, a few had to be cut at 3.5 inches.  You can spot them in the picture below but it just isn't that noticeable to me, so 2.5 / 3.5 inch cuts it is!  Thanks to Michelle B. for the suggestion!

 

The Gardens

Part of the beauty of the Garden of Quilts are the gardens themselves.  It is held at Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point.  Even after all the rain, or maybe especially after all the rain, it was just beautiful 🥰

 

The Quilts

 

I only took a few pictures of the quilts at Garden of Quilts.  Many were still covered in plastic, and I mostly just wanted to enjoy the gardens and looking at quilts.  But here are a few that caught my eye 😊

Pemberley

The sun finally came out and we were able to view the quilts!  Apparently they had to take down about 200 quilts, some were under big tents and a lot were covered in plastic.

I had to take a picture of the Pemberley quilt, as we were going to the Pride and Prejudice play the next day 😊

 

The Vendor Mall

We went to Utah this past weekend to see a play and lucky me, it was the same weekend as Garden of Quilts at Thanksgiving Point.  My daughter and grandson went with me on Friday.  The day started out very rainy and it's an outdoor quilt show, so first up was the Vendor Mall, while we waited for the weather to clear!  I wasn't sad! 😊

 

BoHo is Coming Along!

I was able to get some sewing in today.  I finished up the four inch blocks, made some three inch blocks and started on the two in blocks!  I have 20 more to make (they are all cut out, pictured below), then I can start assembling the quilt 🥰

Then I can clean up this mess! (Before making another one 😂)
