Finishing projects...

Three mellow Jacks - not getting on the quilt.
Finished up a quilt I started almost a year ago,
it was going to be a wedding gift,
now it will be a first anniversary gift.
Here's the back...
This simple quilt was started about a year ago also...
It is being donated to a fundraiser.

Glad to get some finality to a couple of projects!

I hope everyone is having a happy Easter!

Rabbit thread sketch mini quilt

In the mood for bright colors and bunnies today.

Isn't Spring the BEST time of year!
It is opening the door for summer
and setting out a welcome mat
of flowers
and greets you with baby animals.

Spring Quilt Finished

The is the finished quilt, the back shown first - has one strip of patchwork across it, also shown in the pictures are matching tea mats.
The quilt measures 54" by 70", the biggest I've make yet. It is also the first time I've used white.
I was asked in my last post of this quilt if this was a "Disappearing 9- Patch", since then I checked into that design and found out it IS. (Thanks Deborah) It's good to know what it's called :)
This will get packaged and mailed to a lovely lady in Great Britain as per an etsy order!

I have a couple of projects yet to finish ... then it will be some slow down time on quilting as Spring arrives and time gets spent on cleaning up the gardens and planting, etc. March is National Quilt Month. April brings other things!

Happy Weekend!

Quilting...

...almost done.
This has been the largest quilt
I've free-motion quilted yet.
I'm done with the middle and am straight
stitching around the border piece currently.
It's put me in the mood for Spring.
