Mobile quilt pattern

I've made a couple of quilts for friends and have been asked by many how I did it and I must confess that I figured this out by just looking at a quilt online, just another talent that God has given me, with out him I wouldn't be able to bless those I have with these quilts.
This is a version of the quilt I am making but will give you an idea of what it might look like when it's done. Today we will concentrate on the blocks and then later everything else,lol.

Supply list: Varies by size of the quilt
1 Half yard for inside block A (Animal pattern)
1 Half yard of corresponding fabric to fabric A
1 Half yard for inside block B (Animal pattern)
 1 Half yard of corresponding fabric to fabric B
1 Yard of Fabric for lines connecting blocks and trim and binding
1 Yard of backround fabric, I used white.
1 Yard of more of muslin for backing dependent on how big your quilt is.

 First things first:

Make as many 4 1/2x4 1/2's with fabric A as you want, you can make this quilt as big or as small as you would like.
Then take the corresponding fabric and make 1 1/2 inch strips.

Now your going to sew the 1/2 inch strips to the top and bottom of the 4 1/2 in block, you can save more fabric by doing a running line, place your 1/2 strip to your sewing machine and sew on your 4 1/2 inch block then instead of cutting there, place the next block very closely to the last and sew, hopefully you can see it in the picture.

Then when you've sewn as many together as you can, place the line of blocks on your cutting mat and cut the blocks apart.

When your done doing this, start on the opposite side of the block so that there is a blue strip on the top and bottom of the block.

Now take your 1/2 inch strip and sew it on the side. Make sure that while you sew you also put the seams facing one way and stick to that pattern, I ironed them to go out so when I hand sewed the quilt I had a line to follow from the seams.

And repeat. Lastly, Take your blocks and square them. You basically put the squares on the lines and make sure everything is straight and if not cut off the access fabric, if you skip this step your quilt might not be even or not matchup when you ad more fabric to the pattern.  As you can see in the picture I had a bit I had to cut off, make sure you check all sides and all blocks.

And there you have it, your first block, now do this with fabric B and corresponding fabric. I'm going to stop here because that will take a while to do all by it's self, again you can make this quilt as big or as small as you would like, the bigger the quilt the more blocks you will need to make.

Farm Fresh trip 6/6

Hey guys, went to Farm Fresh for their deals this week and made out!

Total the groceries came to 37.79 and after coupons doubling today 6.19!  With the kids being out of school soon I had to stock up on cereal so this might keep us stocked for a little while,lol.  The splits yogurts were on sale for 1.99 and because they were gonna expire soon there was a dollar off coupon on it so they only cost a dollar and they can be frozen before they expire, yes you can freeze yogurt to help it last longer.  I also got a rain check a few weeks ago for the mission taco shells, they were B1G1 free and with using 2 dollar off coupons it made them free!  Yes, you can use 2 coupons when buying items that are B1G1 free.  Woot woot! Also the salad dressing was 10 for 10 and after a 1 dollar off 2 and it doubling they were free!  Also another good tip is sometimes Farm Fresh gives you coupons for buying certain products like a dollar coupon when you buy 2 of something.  Last week they had this promotion and using them on a Wednesday they doubled so I got 2 dollars off paying for other groceries I didn't have coupons for, like the fruity cereal for my hubby.  If you've got any questions, post a comment and I'll get back to you.

God's Miracle

I'm taking a break today to stop and see God's miracles, today I was blessed to see such a miracle come into the world and wanted to share pictures and thoughts.

                                              I like my fingers cause mommy won't feed me.

                                    It was so precious watching them peak to see their baby sister.

                                                                   My turn!

                                                                     Now my turn!!!

Jeremiah acted like he didn't want to but we could all see it in his face that he couldn't wait to hold her but was just being shy.

 

It was such an awesome day of experience and as I think about God's blessings, I look at the pictures of these children and thank God for his mercy as he brought each and every one of them into this world safely and as He planned.

Farm Fresh trip

Hey guys, went to Farm Fresh this morning and got a great haul and wanted to share.  First of all Farm Fresh had a deal going on that when you bought 2 things of KC Masterpiece you got 1 dollar back and they were 1 dollar each.  When you combine that with the 1.00 off 2, it makes these free and you get a dollar back! Gotta give a woot woot for making money at the grocery store!  Ok, my grand total was 35.83 and after coupons it was 12.44 AND I walked out of the store with 5 dollars in Catalina's that I can use as cash to buy anything else I want.  I only have 3 in the picture cause I found the other 2 later,lol.  So it's like I actually spent  7.44 for all that!

Farm Fresh deals 5/20

It's back!!!! Farm Fresh is having their Super Doubles this week and I did something I normally don't ever do, I made money this morning!  My first order cost 11 and then I made my next order and after coupons it said -1.02! Can I get a woot woot?  The soda was free with a dollar off coupon and the Lysol cleaner was on sale for 2 for 5 but after a dollar off coupon from Dollar General it was .50 cents!  No it wasn't a Dollar General store coupon it was a peelie I got from there, awesome!  You never know the coupons you'll find when you look around!  My total was 70.90 and after coupons and money made I spent 10.87 out of pocket!

Farm Fresh deals 4/18

 This is all the great stuff I got!  The Picture above is my first trip on Wednesday totals before coupons and sales are 50.63 and after my total was 6.67 !!!!!!!  One thing that really helped me stocked up was I found a coupon in the cracker isle that was 2.00 off when you buy both Belvita breakfast bars and 1 package of Gevalia coffee.  I matched that coupon with the 1.00 off Belvita coupon from coupons.com, also the Gevalia was buy 2 get 1 free, so I got 2 things of Belvita and 3 packs of Gevalia coffee for 10 bucks!  I also had gotten some coupons the prior week for 4 dollars off so basically everything else ended up being free,lol.

Then I hit Farm Fresh again on Thursday,lol and got this great haul.  The total for this order was 50.05 and after coupons I paid 11.91.  A great item to grab this weekend is the Glade expressions starter kit and refill, try this deal, this weekend there should be a 1.50 off Glade expression starter kit and match that with the B1G1 free coupon from coupons.com and get both the starter kit and the refill for 1.29!!!! That's what I did but I bought my coupons on ebay so I knew I would have them for this week.  Bayer is also giving out a 2 dollar off coupon on their site and at Farm Fresh it will be free!  Advent put out a coupon awhile ago and I got the pacifier and bottle for free!!!  I love free stuff.  If you would like for me to text you the deals I find every week, let me know.
