Finished tonight! Man, borders always take more time than I expect! :roll: It's 9:50 and the backing fabric is now going into the dryer. Just in case my quilter could see us tomorrow, I want to be ready. I'm taking the Kayaking on the Lake top to her too and since that's my daughter's and she's home one more day--she could go tomorrow to talk to Jill about the quilting.

Anyway... here it is. I wanted a lap quilt, but it ended up 60 x 80. That's okay. This one's a keeper. :-D I love love love the fabrics and colors in here.

Photos are showing a bit darker than it truly is. It's so calming and comforting.

My daughter was with me when I picked the back. She said "I never thought you'd pick that, Mom!" But, it fit--delicate and calming.

There are many squares left to make two baby quilts to sell. Wellll, I may keep one for a grandbaby--whenever one shows up. :wink:

Absolutely lovely! Such soft, beautiful colors. Great job!

That's one awesome quilt... I love the colors.
Lovely :D

I like everything about this quilt. Good job.

Another beautiful quilt! I love the colors. You did a great job. :thumbup:

I was hoping you were going to show the kayaking quilt too. Oh well, I do remember what it looked like, I just wanted to google it again ...LOL!

You sure got on this one ... done already and the month isn't even hardly begun. Nice work! I do love these colors.

Beautiful quilt-I love the colors and your work is great. Glad you're keeping this one.

RedG--here it is...
That's sweet you wanted to see that one too.

Beautiful quilts, the colour and pattern choices are wonderful

Wow what an optical illusion on the 2nd. Love them both. great job

The colors are beautiful!
You did a wonderful job. :D

Oh, my! Both are beautiful!!!!!! :D

You do just beautiful work! I can't decide which I like better!!!

Oh Karla, I Love that quilt too. I especially love the middle print fabric. You have such a great eye for color combinations. I wish I had that talent, but I really don't. I love it. I think it's my second favorite after you-know-which. ;-)

both are beautiful...

both are wonderful - can't decide which I like the best...
one minute it's the chain, the next is the blue....
keep them both LOL

This is very beautiful and the colors are very calming. Great job!

Great job.

That is gorgeous!!!! I can see why you would want to keep it.

WOW Karla!! It turned out beautiful! Both of them did!!! Thanks for being such an inspiration!!

They are so pretty!

Ditto on the rest, this is so pretty and so my kind of colors. Good for you!

It's beautiful!
I love the colors and the backing is awesome!

One of my favorite patterns...the colors are very soothing and soft. Although I lean toward more dramatic colors I always appreciate a well executed quilt in calm colors...thanks for sharing it!

Ditter

BAM BAM two beautiful quilts! I so love the Irish chain pattern...one of my favs and your colors are so restful! Great job.

Margie

I love it! No wonder you want this one to be a keeper! I would too. Please show us after it's quilted too!

Both are Beautiful.

very very nice

Thanks, everyone!! I love this one so much, it's what made me decide to sell the watercolor floral. There's something about that main fabric--it's called "Whispers." This quilt required soooo soooo much pinning. I started another log cabin to work on in-between just to keep sane. :lol:

We're headed to the quilter's tonight!! Rach is sketching what she'd like quilting on the Kayak one--something that represents ripples in the water from the paddles. :-D All I have to do is iron the back for the TIC--so I must get out to get chores done so I can do that before school!

I will of course post when it's been quilted. I can't wait to choose a pattern. Thread color will be the same as the watercolor floral had--a cream.

Wow, they are BEAUTIFUL!

That is a beautiful quilt, both of them.
I want to make a triple irish chain too,someday.

My friend made one in a "colorwash" pattern. I think that is the word.

Beautiful quilt.. I might have to put that on my "quilts I want to make" list.. you done a fabulous job!

They are both beautiful. You did a fantastic job. I like the TIChain. I've made 2 of them. I think it's a nice pattern for a baby quilt....go for it.

They're both very lovely!

Both quilts are marvelous!

The TIC is so soft and pretty. And I love the sound of the planned quilting on Kayaking - can't wait to see it done - bet you can't either! :-D

Beautiful. love the colors.

Another great from Karla the great quilter!

WOW!! I love them both you do such beautiful work

Me too!! :D
