More August finishes

Finally finished this quilt top started in 2017, it was the 2017 Designer Block of the Month and by the time I completed the blocks this year, the finishing kit was not available. So I used scraps to frame and border the squares, not what it was designed to be!  It’s a nice lap size and will be nice to donate to a child.
I then finished another one started last year, Cartwheels, using a batik jelly roll. The backing is a microfiber sheet, very soft. Another one to donate

 

So I’m to the point where I need to sandwich and pin two tops, then quilt three. That will be the absolute end of most everything I’ve started!  What a funny feeling, I usually have a few under construction at any one time. BUT Alycia's QOV mystery starts September 5 so that gives me time to get ideas. I do have parts for two more 3-hour baby gingham quilts cut out, and my cousin’s daughter just had twins!  And another cousin’s daughter had a boy, so I’ll keep busy. Before you know it another Bonnie Hunter mystery will be out...
