The first I actually finished the last week of June. It's for my daughter's wedding gift. I'm going up for her bridal shower this weekend and will deliver finish 2, 3, 4, and 5. The Dresden Plate quilt is made from Scraps of my mother in laws fabrics. I started it 3.5 years ago with one plate that sat alone until this June. The Warm Wishes quilts are for my niece. She asked me to make her little boy a John Deere quilt to fit his new twin bed. Then she wanted a matching golf quilt for his grandpa. The princess Warm Wishes is a surprise for her three year old daughtier. It's smaller than twin size and I'm ok with that. The purple wallhanging is for one sister in law. It's from Grandma's stash too. They were all finished this month! I call them "monkey's off my back!"
Love your quilts, SheriR!! They're ALL just beautiful!
We're all having fun this month getting some finishes done, and ta-dah!! I have one too. I'll post the pics later, but the "flimsy" that is my avatar is my July UFO finish! I had hoped to get more done, but my sewing room doesn't have A/C, so my quilting has to be done either late at night, or first thing in the morning. The temps here have been in the mid-to-high 90's, so I stand it as long as I can, then head to where I can be in the A/C.
(My sewing room is an enclosed, former car-port, so heat or A/C is pretty limited.)
I've been digging through boxes and totes, trying to find something quick to finish. <sigh> Nothing appeals.
I have three tops that I bought at a yard sale years ago, I had thought to just use some cheap backing fabric and panto or FMQ those... but after looking at them again... ehhh... I'm not so motivated to finish them.
What do you think, ladies? Panto/FMQ them, and cut up for animal shelter pads? Or send the flimsies on to someone else who might actually want them?
