I started these projects several months ago and am now finally making some progress!

I've just completed the Lucky Stars top. Still trying to decide what color to quilt it and what I actually want to quilt on it. I'm thinking of doing stitch in the ditch around the stars and loopy stars on the rest.

The others are Quilts for Kids that have been sitting here much too long (2 kits, 1 of my own). I finished those last week and mailed them off.

I keep telling myself I can't start another new project until I finish up some of the old ones. I'm getting there! :)

Sorry for sideways pics! Too late now! LOL

wonderful ... I always appreciate the job when it is complete. Do you send out to quilt or do your own?

So far, I've only quilted my own. I took a FMQ class last year and am just recently getting brave enough to do it on "real" quilts. I don't have a very good setup - house is too small and I sew at the dining room table, so I can't keep it up all the time.I may send out the one I'm making for my bed...we'll see. For now, that's another UFO, but so close to the top being done. Just borders left.

Your quilts look great!! I have that lucky stars pattern. Everytime I see what someone has made with it I keep thinking that I need to make one too. I really like yours!!!

Thanks...it's one of the easiest patterns I've ever done. Not much matching because the background extends beyond the point of the stars.

Beautiful work.

Beautiful job! You do great work. I especially love the first one. And doesn't it feel good to get some out of the way? I have two ideas for something new, but told myself I cannot start until some others are done.

Love every one of them, but especially the first. The children should love their quilts as well. You are so generous to make all those quilts for the kids. We struggle at church to get our quilts made for Hospice. We need some of your energy!

Thanks for sharing them.

renee765 06-20-2010 05:53 AM

They are all beautiful, but your color choices in the first one is so pretty!

katier825 06-20-2010 02:39 PM

It's funny, when I was making the Lucky Stars one, I didn't really like the colors. There's one print in particular that I hate! But it all came together well in the end. I was trying to make it for someone based on the few colors in their house. I ended up giving her a different quilt and will give this one to my nephew & wife.
