Shades of grey are the background for this quilt. It’s going to be a Legend of Zelda commission, and the center it’s going to be sky blue! I’m so excited!

Finished The Quilting On Zelda #6
I was up until 4am doing all of the quilting. I was halfway done at 1:30 and almost called it quits and went to bed, but I was just so excited to see it finished that I just powered through and watched some True Blood and finished the quilting! Now tonight, I have to bind it and wash it, but also… I might take a nap first. We’ll see.

Finished A Commission Zelda Quilt Top
I did it! The commission isn’t due until the 25th, so that gives me a couple of days to work on it. I always find the quilting the easy part. I don’t have to pay much attention to stipple, so that’s nice. Not sure if I’m going to pin it today or what… We’ll see!

Making Some Legend Of Zelda Quilt Progress
I did it! I finished this part before I went to bed last night. Sorry I didn’t post it sooner, but I had to go to work and then do some housework. It looks really bright in the light I took the picture in, but it looks a little darker when you are just looking at it. I really love the way the colors are melting together! Hopefully tonight, I’ll finish the middle part! Wish me luck!

Working On My Next Commission… Zelda 6!
This is the 6th Zelda quilt commission I’ve gotten, and I think I am becoming a pro at making these! I already have the fabric picked out and tonight I am going to be piecing them together! Wish me luck! I still have to find fabric for the center, but I’ll get to that later!

Zelda Commission 5: It’s Finished!
I did it! It is done, and I’m so happy I can call it a day! I’ll mail it out later today, and then tomorrow, I will start my next commission. For the finishing on this one, I did shiny blue thread for the background and then gold for the bird and triforce. I also did a gold rim of stippling around the edge of the quilt. I think it really makes it pop! I’m so in love with it, I’m kind of sad I have to mail it out!

Zelda Commission 5: Almost Done
I’m almost done! I did the blue background stippling and I put on the binding. I used a nice medium mottled blue for the binding. I think it ties the fabric blocks together quite nicely with the medium blue thread I used. The only thing left to do is the stippling on the bird. I already have the gold thread picked out, and it’s by my sewing machine waiting for me! I even got a new quilting foot. I’ll post about that later though. Wish me luck!

Zelda Commission 5: Still Stippling
I did some house work today, but not nearly enough. I wanted to get my third bedroom upstairs organized, but there is just so much paperwork to go through. Also, I need to buy a shredder. I have checks from the 70s as well as other paperwork that I still have to go through. Happy times! I get paid on Friday, so maybe I’ll go and pick one up. Well, now that I ma secretaried out for the day, I’m about to go and hop on machine again. The plan is to finish the background and leave the bird and binding for tomorrow.

Zelda Commission 5: Started To Stipple
I started the quilting on the Zelda Commission. I’m doing a medium stipple with a bright blue thread for the background, and I’m going to do the bird in yellow. I might do some secondary stipples with a dark blue and a orange, but I’m not sure yet. I want to see how it all blends when it is jut the light blue and the yellow. Hopefully I’ll finish the quilting by tonight… or at least the blue part anyways. I’m trying to be optimistic. It’s my day off from work, and I’ve got a lot of housework!

Zelda Commission 5: Finished The Top
I did it! I finished it last night, but was too lazy to post it. I have today off from work, so it is catch up day on all things Blog and housework related! Lots of cleaning, but hopefully I can get lots of sewing done too! I think I am going to start the quilting on this quilt later today. I’m using backing fabric, so I don’t have any more piecing to do for that. All I have to do is cut the batting off the roll, and cut and sew the binding. I feel so ahead of the game!
