I want to finish the one that is my avatar here. Yes, I love it, but it is like cooking a large meal. by the time it gets on the table you are sick of it...Still have some quilting and the binding to do.
I did a lot of hand quilting on the central portion and did large leafy vines on the outer sections, with the same color thread as fabric. Now I wish I had reversed the thread, but no way will I redo all of it. It is a bit too plain for me now. I tend to go simple but maybe I need to be more bold in my ideas....<sigh>If anyone has suggestions as to how to punch it up some, I am all ears!
My DS wants a new quilt "before the cold weather" so I am working on that.

I want to finish the hexangonal quilt I am doing with the appliqued Mexican tile designs - of course that and the baby quilt, tablerunner, placemats and then the Christmas stuff - maybe a New Year's resolution? Haha!!!!

Bless you, Naomi, you are a wonderful caregiver. I sure do wish some of us lived close enough to help you.

I'd just love to get enough time to finish the one I've been working a year on. I'm doing the Lily Rosenberry quilt, and I'm so sick of berries, I could die. I don't want to ever do a berry again. I'm appliquing the borders now, but I made the mistake of putting the blocks together when I was sick because I have so little time, and they are not right, so I didn't save myself any time. Maybe someday . . . . .

I have purchased at least 10 books with many quilts in them which I really really want to make, crazy I know but I love the planning and dreaming stage so much that I collect ahead so as never to be in danger of not having the right pattern for that fabric I dream of making into just the right quilt :o) I have several in mind right now the strip pieced basket quilt in one of Edyta Sitar's books, a wonderful tree and owl quilt from Whimsicals, and a fun scrap quilt to use up some of my mounting stash :o)

all my finished quilt tops

I just cut all the strips for a planned scrappy Irish chain type quilt for my grandson and his girl friend who are getting married in December. I will hand quilt it and that's about all for the rest of this year. Next year, I really really want to make a bargello!

I would like to finish the quilt for my bed. I have everything but the batting. The top and binding are ready to go and the backing is waiting to be washed, pressed, and sewn.

The one I have designed for my antique Jenny Lind spool bed. I am waiting for the new mattress and box springs to arrive to get the exact measurements. I am having them custom made for the bed as it is slightly smaller than a standard double bed, being more than 100 years old!

ellenmg love your avatar! What is the pattern?
