Default Drunkard's Path Oversized Lap tops done

After starching, pressing, figuring out how many of each size block x 2 I needed, I finally got these bad boys put together. I think it was 228 small 3.5 blocks and 48 large 7.5 blocks. The blocks eventually became 14.5 unfinished blocks. I used a couple ugly fabrics out of my stash and that bothered me but as this was the 1st time trying curved blocks, I wasn't going to redo them like I did my last 2 lap quilts. Got all the blocks put together for the body and yesterday I finished the sashings and borders but switched out using my new to me Brother CX7000 machine on the cutting table as it's much easier than trying to push the quilts thru my other machine that's up against the wall. And no there's no where else I can move that machine as I kept looking around yesterday for an idea on that.

Anyway, these 2 lap quilts will go for another couple in my congregation once they're quilted. I'm seriously thinking custom quilting using circular designs in the center of each block and something simple surrounding them. Just a thought and it will depend on how far behind I am also.

But here they are finished into flimsies. They're not exactly alike either.
