Inching toward completion

Found a few other projects in the sewing room... I've had squares cut and arranged for these two baby quilts for two years. They will be done and donated before the baby arrives! The fronts are completed; I've ordered the batting (50% off coupon for online orders) and am just waiting for it's arrival so I can fill, back and bind. I've chosen backings and bindings for each, so the last few steps will go quickly (as long as I'm able to find the time).

I'm not afraid to combine knits, flannels and cottons so these are a true mix of texture. All the fabrics are left-overs from projects I've sewn. Quilts are a great way to 'recycle', if you know what I mean. The best part, in my opinion, is creating a pattern with the available squares. My goal is to always use the most squares in the most creative way possible!

  2. I love the boy quilt!! They are both beautiful, it's just those colors are so brilliant and beautiful!

    Love seeing your garden produce...I think because I didn't weed, or fertilize or really do much other than water, my garden is not producing much....oh, and the deer did eat my zukes!
