Default Finally finished the dratted things...lol

Saw this fabric kit online but it was too expensive for my blood so just bought the fabric panels and did the bias tape. All 9,999.5 yards of bias tape. (I think I forgot some zeroes in there somewhere. lol That's what it felt like in the process of doing them.)

Gluing the bias tape down helped a LOT to keep the squirrly things where I wanted them before sewing otherwise I'd have 42 pins per square inch in some places (and I'm not exaggerating by much.)

Anyway, I finished them about an hour ago. They are wall hangings I wanted to give my son as (ahem) his Christmas present. Good thing he's an understanding sort of person.

I love the way the fronts turned out. And I figured out how to give some of the leaves and seeds texture by stretching the fabric a little bit before sewing them down. Just don't look at the backs - I'm still learning.

These are the 3rd and 4th quilts I've ever made. (I've quilted other things, like a sewing machine cover and a little organizer hanging pod and am counting them, so I've quilted 6 things now.)
