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...

August finish

hurray my Postcard from Sweden is all done!  It now resides on the back of my couch, and certainly does brighten up the room. Love it!

One more completed quilt top

Finally!  I don’t know why it took so long since it was not hard!  I have a very colorful backing to use, can’t wait to get this one quilted

Postcard from Sweden

some more progress

August flowers

just can’t get enough of the giant flowers!  Winter hardy hibiscus...blooms as big as my hand with outstretched fingers!  I saw some for sale at Lowe’s

Camp Oda May

My top is finished and it’s third in line for quilting. I’d better not start a new project...!

I’ve also added a couple more rows to Postcard from Sweden. I don’t know what difference it would make in the order the HSTs are added, but I’m following the directions as written...it should look like the one above!

What about the border

i don’t have enough fabric for a 3.5” border, so thinking about what to do!  Piano key possibly
