WIP Wednesday 11-19-08

Since last Wednesday I have two finishes and am loaded up to start quilting another in the morning. First there is this quilt that belongs to my G/F. It is a beauty. There were so many odd shapes that I couldn't think of a cohesive plan for quite a while. (mostly the light areas all around the outside). This was a big quilt and after I got started on it my dad got sick a couple different times and I didn't touch it (or anything else) for over a month. I finally finished it though and gave it to her last night. She seemed to like it.

Also this little cutie made by another sewing friend of mine. See all the seams on the outside edges? Piece O cake! It laid flat and behaved well! She seemed to like it fine.

This Beauty (eh hem!) is for my sister. I didn't piece this one.

I bought it off of ebay years ago. I actually have LOTS of ebay tops that I need to quilt or get rid of. This moster is HUGE. I am using a fat back and it is WIDER than the fatback even. My plan is to just quilt it then trim it afterwards. It almost reaches the outer edge so it won't be a problem. This is just so she has an extra quilt on her bed. It gets mighty cold here at night. I will MAKE her a quilt some day but this one she can use in the mean time.

All your quilts turned out great. It's so much easeir to quilt when things calm down with your dad. Glad he is doing better.
