I made the top for the elephants last weekend and did the Yellow & Gray over the Thanksgiving holiday. I quilted them both on Sunday. I put both on the frame and away I went. I would quilt a section on the first then move over and quilt the second. . .It worked pretty well doing two at once. Sunday evening I bound them both.

How sweet! You do very nice work. Very clean lines. The zig zag is very popular this year so you are right on the creative edge. But, I suppose you know that. By the way, I am so jealous that you have been able to get two more finished. I have a back problem since thanksgiving and haven't been able to sew.
Sorry you're back is bothering you! I will admit after working on those quilts all weekend I could use a massage. Maybe someone will get me one for Christmas. . .

But thanks for the laugh!
HaHA I hung them in my work cubicle to take the photo. The gal who sits next to me has taken classes on CPR and the Defibrillator should I ever need a jolt LOL

Thanks everybody! Both were really fun to make. A tip for those of you who have the chevron on their to do list. For fast 1/2 square triangles I cut a block of fabric 20 x20 one of the white and the other of print. Layer them together (make sure your print is on the right side) mark off with a pencil squares. Then go diagonal from one corner and repeat through all the squares. Sew a scant 1/4 in on either side of the diagonal line then cut apart. Really easy method.
