I finished the challenge quilt today, well I have to bind it tomorrow. And I looked at the calendar and found out the Guild Meeting is NEXT WEEK! So you will have to wait for one more whole week.
I also finished Flower Girl, the baby quilt for my nail salon couple. I just did a simple meander, but in a wild yellow green color that exactly matches the solid greens I added in. I am happy. It is a really cute girly quilt. They will be surprised and elated!
I think it is the first time I have ever been EARLY for anything --- quilt wise. I am usually early for life stuff.
I plan on going to the park and seeing if I can do a photo shoot with a couple of these quilts as I finish them.
So I will claim the Flower Girl top, backing and binding on the stash report next week. This quilt was done with only pink fabrics and scraps from my shelves......YES! I used lots of small pieces and the leftover stripes from a previous project. I really had to think about those stripes, I have a very specific project in mind for my stripes. A Kaffe Fassett quilt I fell in love with several years ago.
I started saving them, and saving them, and saving them. Now I just save them.............sigh.
So there will come a time soon when I will feel the need to create more tops and that will be among them!
I also want to sit down and parcel out who will be getting what quilt so I will know what I need to concentrate on to get Christmas presents taken care of.
Yes, quilt presents for all!
Early is good! How are you feeling? Thanks for the close up picture. I love seeing others quilting now so I have examples.
ReplyDeleteLeftovers and odds and ends make the best quilts! I don't know that I will be making any quilts for xmas this year.
