Let's Bee Social #87

My Kona Coal arrived. As you can see, I got my sashing and borders cut and pieced onto my maxi size Dog Gone Cute quilt. Unfortunately, the new Coal does not quite match the old Coal. But that's okay! I am looking forward to getting this quilted up soon!



I am really getting excited for the Dog Gone Cute quilt along blog hop!

The blog hop schedule is filling up fast - only five two spots left open - so if you are still considering participating in the blog hop portion, please send me an email at sewfreshquilts{at}gmail{dot}com today! Then grab a button below and share it on your blog!

Edited to add: Thank you to all the 40 people who have joined in the Blog Hop.... We have a full kennel now. But that doesn't mean there isn't room for you! Looking forward to having you Quilt Along during the month of September and then to join in the linky party that EVERYONE can join in for November! This is going to be so Dog Gone FUN!!!

Love the DGC in the Kona Coal. Just got to think what colour I want as my background. I have been so restrained and haven't started yet until I get my rainbow quilt finished ........ I want to though!!

Kaelyn Angelfoot said...

I like the fact that the two batches of coal don't quite match - it adds a little extra spark to your quilt which I think looks fabulous!

Ruth said...

Looks great! I just finished a swoon quilt with fabric from 2 bolts of Kona navy all slightly different in the sashing too!

Rosemary B❤️ said...

Chiska said...

I'm planning on participating in the quilt along. So fun!

Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirl said...

I hope that once you get the quilt quilted and finished up the slight differences in the coal will smooth away. :)

That's a beautiful quilt! Your dogs look like a bunch of charming, friendly and loyal companions. They all have their own particularities but all have been touch by your magic fingers... :-)

Isn't that cute! Love the coal background with those cuties! I'm giving you a 'Rah-Rah Sis Boom Bah'! Yea, I'm a cheerleader too!

Love these doggies! I think I may have to sew a few with you!

I love the darker background. I'm still deciding on how many colors I want to use for my cute little doggies.

I have never attempted a QAL but with your charming, delightful quilt I may just get serious about sewing along. Thank you for your creativeness. I love it!

Quilts By Laurel said...

Is it bad that I'm thinking about giving the kids a day off school so I can get even more pups sewn tomorrow?? :D :D :D

Cheryl said...

I have had that happen with Kona Coal. I had two pieces that I would have sworn were completely different colors they were so different. I actually like the subtle difference in the grays in the quilt and I love the doggie design!

Maureen said...

The puppies look like my grandpuppy.

JanineMarie said...

I like the difference in the Coals. It looks great with those cute pups. Serendipity!
