Finally a couple of finishes.

Emma S

QuilterMom: Love your work. Exceptional finishes, the quilting really complements the patterns. Congrats!

QuilterMom- what lovely finishes. I really like your choice of quilting pattern, too. It looks like your puppy does what my puppy does..... hops right on the quilt when I try to lay it out.

Toot, Toot!! a couple more completed.... Yeah!

That's my problem, exactly. I have to bargain with myself to keep on going and get to the finish. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

QuilterMomma

You are so not alone on that one. Sometimes it gets so hard to stick with it once you are going along and it gets tedious. been there with a few. I so hope to show a few more completed this month, but we will see.

Thanks to everyone for posting pictures of finished projects! I really enjoy looking at them.

While looking through some of my nicely organized cut squares(in labeled boxes/bins even), I got disgusted with orphan blocks falling off of the shelf by these bins so I made the following charity top. 4 blocks were already finished- 2 of the 10 Minute blocks and 2 of the strip ones. The squares, strips, and sashing came from my stash also. The 3 middle long strips were also finished and laying on a shelf. The two 10 Minute blocks were made by my niece so I had a new learning experience when making the others.


I really thought I would have an ugly quilt when I was done, but it grew on me as I was doing it. There was lots of unstitching because I was designing it as I went along. Today, my church group sandwiched and tied it. The backing was brought to the front and will be sewn down later. It measured about 70 by 80.

I couldn't get a good picture because my room isn't wide enough. . It is straight but doesn't look like it in the picture.

Great job! Is fun to get those orphans out of the way with a well meaning home.

It's nice to see what you all have accomplished. Gives me hope!

You did a super job of designing your quilt, retiredteacher09. I do that a lot, too.... the designing part. You were able to pull together all those colors.... and are the centers of those blocks curved lines? Impressive. I don't like doing curved lines.

retiredteacher09

Nana-up-north: Thank you. The centers are not curved lines but the result of using 5 squares of 9 inches each and then I followed the directions for a 10 minute block. I rolled the resulting square edges and top stitched and that's what makes them look like curved lines.
