Oooooooooh!! Anael ... beautiful! Your HITBD/CD is ever so nice! An interesting way to frame up finished blocks. Are you going to keep it? Or is it destined for the Day Care Centre too?

The colours look so much nicer in today's photos!! ITA on the white against the quilt centre. Helps frame and creates a step into what's next. Which brings me to ask ... what will you do after those are all on? Regular strip borders?

Anael

Thanks for the compliments on the Barn Door I don't know, I thought about donating the HITBD quilt to the day care centre too, I have to ask how many they can use. My kids don't want quilts, that's for sure

The colours in the last 2 pictures are the real colors. I think I will do a regular strip border in the darker blue fabric.

Oh Anael, that BOM quilt is stunning! Great colors and I can hardly wait to see what you do with the quiliting. I love the nap quilts you are working on too. You are sure moving along fast on those. I'm sure the recipients will dearly love them.

QuiltE

Anael, You're a generous soul!! I'm sure all will be more than thankful for your kindnesses.

I'm sure they will gladly accept all that you wish to share with them. Because they are destined for a public facility, chances are they are laundered perhaps more regularly than we would at home. Plus institutional laundry does not get the gentler care we do. Thus, they will show their wear much faster and need replacing more often.

Although, this might create some jealousy as to who gets the "pretty ones" ... instead of the boring browns!!!
You'll have your work cut out for you!!



I was sitting here this morning sketching out a CD pattern, before I saw the HITBD/CD .... and smiled!!!

Yes OKSGlad ... email on its way with a request!

OK - what have ya got yourself into????
Anael - Your heart is in the right place. I love the border in the first pict.

Oh, oh, oh! I just got the call from my apprentice's DM. She is in labor & will have the baby taday!!!!!!!! I feel like it's another Grandbaby!!!

Anael

ThanksJeanie, QuiltE and dublb (and all my other friends)

I could ask to give the quilts to me to wash them. I think the elderly only use them as covers after lunch so I hope they won't get dirty that fast! I will do the borders tomorrow.

Dublb, I hope everything is ok with your apprentice and your adopted grandbaby

I have a mystery quilt ready to sash as well as the BOM that I'm doing through QB. I was concerned that I would not come out with a good balance so while it was in the design wall, I completed all of the blocks and did run out of the main fabric like I was afraid of so I made do. The reveal isn't until after Christmas so there is no hurry actually with either one. I have the FWS to complete while I trot along in this pony ride and I'm planning to start an appliqué project so I have handwork to do in the evenings. Can you tell I'm totally immersed in quilting? My DH is occupied during the day so my sewing room is where I hang out after the essential housekeeping is done.

GG ya sound as behind as I am. Lots o' things ta do! It keeps us from bein' bored.

Apprentice's baby was born. All the text said was..." 29" 7lbs 15oz." I'm gonna call 'em in th'mornin'. We already knew that it was a boy. It's drivin' me crazy that they are in Austin! 8 hours away!
