So many pretty quilts!

This is my first one, I've done all hand stitching/quilting. I need to go back through and make sure I didn't miss anything (I have a few spots to quilt still, and may add "grass" or something in some of the areas that don't have any quilting. I used Warm and Natural, so can go 10", but I don't want to push it.)

I have to wait until Monday to start to bind it, one of the members here is going to teach me, but I've got blue, green, yellow and red fabric with dots that I'll cut into strips then sew together. I was going to go with just one color, but a lady in the fabric store convinced me to try a multi-color one :)

I'm back for this month. Below is a list of projects I may pick from to work on over the next 3 days.
- I plan to put borders on my AK Crossroad king size quilt. I have all of the blocks sewn and put together and ironed. Tomorrow I need to wash my fabric and sew the borders on.
- Work on wheelchair top for quilt give away.
- quilt Royals quilt top
- Quilt chewie's top (a quilt for my dog).
- work on my 2 1/2" log cabin batik blocks. Another king size quilt top. It should take me a while, I'm just starting.
- quilt 2 table runners and finish. (Fall and snowman).

Great color study quilt, McG... amazing that you found that many different solids, or did you dye your own?

Love the playmat quilt, Sleepy Hollow.

Happylab, you've got a full plate to sew from!

I'd love to join in if I may. I just joined the forum and I'm excited to see so many beautiful quilts. I'm a teacher and will be going back to school next week, so this weekend will be my last chance to really sew. I've got a king-sized log cabin top that is almost done. I need to add 1/2 of the last border on it and then I can decide how I want it quilted. I made a piano key border because I had so many strips left over, but apparently not enough so I have to run out and get more fabric. Oh well. I also have the pieces cut for a large one block wall hanging. I'd like to hand-quilt that since it's a small project.

Here's to great weekend sewing!

Such inspiring quilting projects posted so far

I'll be watching if not joining in.

Lots of great work so far. I particularly like your solids modern quilt McGargantuette. Did you have a pattern ?

Perfect timing; I am headed to an actual retreat with a group of friends in a few hours! I was lucky enough to attend a retreat with this group in February, and it rekindled my love for quilting. And as a newly retired teacher, it will help take my mind off of the fact that for the first time since 1982, I am not spending August preparing a classroom and getting ready to return school. I plan on using some of my stash to make a couple of fall table runners, but since we will be checking out the local quilt shop, who knows what else I might find to work on!
Here are the fabrics I'll be using:

Sounds like a lot of good projects may get done this weekend. I have two race quilts to bind. Used up many 2 1/2 inch strips to complete these tops and will be given to nieces. Have fun everyone.

Waking on a baby gift. Double slice layer cake. Only one week till shower and speed is not my strong suit! Will use the power of the VQW to encourage me along! Thanks gang...
