Geared For Guys Remix Tour

Yeah! It's the weekend!

I usually don't do a lot of blogging on the weekend.  But today is my day on the 

Geared For Guys Remix! Emily Herrick, the designer who wrote the book, 

asked a few people to make a girlie version of one of her quilts
 from her book Geared For Guys.

well, I actually practically begged her...
I love her beachy fabrics and her patterns!

I had been meaning to make one of the quilts from GFG Remix...

This one... which is one of my favorites... it was a hard choice but I decided on 

Ivy League in the end.

Still using the gray and white.. but I threw in some pink...

to give it a Parisian kind of look...

so here it is!

Ivy League

 I just had to take the opportunity to add the vintage buttons also.

 I really enjoyed making this quilt...

and I love Emily's book too. I have 5 sons... so I see myself getting a lot of

use out of this book.  

So, I guess it was perfect that I got to make one for me first!

Although... Oddball is still on my list. Especially after seeing
 April's  (Making Ends Meet blog)

version a couple of days ago on 

this tour... made out of It's a Shore Thing... yes, I want that one too!

 I can't wait to see the other girlie-guy quilts coming up in the next few days!

It's been a fun tour so far... 

please go visit 

 My Quilting Diet tomorrow for more of the tour!

(did you notice that I left one safety pin in my quilt)?

Darn, I hate that!
