I was reading another blog and the writer was listing all her finished quilts for the year. That reminded me that I had a few things to show also.
I had shown some photos of all of these in progress, but not finished up.
These first two were made with one kit from Connecting Threads. The kit was only for the larger quilt (54"x65"), but they had included extra border fabric in case the quilter wanted to make the print match up in all the borders.
So with the scraps and border fabric I was able to make the smaller (44" square) quilt.
The fabric is flannel. The color is not true in these photos. More pleasing in person.
(Maybe my New Year's resolution will be to try to take better photos!)
I used regular cotton fabric on the backs of both.
Not sure what I will do with these quilts. Wait for someone to have a baby I guess!
Just for fun, I sewed and quilted this little 13" square made from the corner trimmings of the snowball blocks in the larger quilt.
Most of the squares were made in 1999 - 20 years ago! I don't know what I was thinking but, at the time, my plan was to use the blue and green together in one afghan. What? I am pretty sure that would have been creepy looking!
Instead I made two small baby blankets (about 30" x 43"). I just kept crocheting the edging until all the yarn was used up. Happy about that!
The blocks have a heart motif made with the popcorn stitches, sort of hard to make out.
No plans for what to do with these either. More than likely they will be donated.
This one doesn't count for my list because I started it illegally... after I made the vow to finish up the old things first. This one is a "Three Yard" quilt. Very quick to cut and sew.
It measures about 44" x 59". That's a good size for a baby/toddler quilt.
I will probably give this to my dental hygenist (who is more like a friend since I've been going there for so many years!)... for her grand daughter due to arrive in early spring.
Again the colors are "off" in the photo. Not so gaudy in real life.
And, I made this chicken block, quilted and bound. It will go to some sort of Extension office state conference to be included in an auction of blocks made by homemakers across the state.
I guess it's some sort of fund raiser but I'm not sure for what.
I'm pretty sure that's all I will get finished for 2019.
