Greedy Quilt

Good morning!  It is President's Day, and I get the day off!  I am planning what order I should be finishing up some projects in.  Saturday night I stayed up and quilted my Greedy Quilt and got it bound. All done!  I am not one for putting tons of quilting on a quilt, but I have a magazine that had a piece in it about the Gee's Bend quilters and I decided I could use white thread and do row upon row of quilting.  I just quilted in the direction of the fabrics.  I must admit it looks a whole lot better now than before it was quilted.  Since this is a wall hanging, I used a piece of heavy solid colored flannel as the batting.  That makes it lighter, with more drape.

A small group of quilters tried a project sized less than 24"X24"
with a word that describes how we feel about ourselves.

T and I started our Black and White Mostly quilts.  T found a design she liked, and we worked to make it our own.  She has all her blocks pieced and squared up.  Here is what mine look like laid out on the table.  I do have a priority of finishing Jojo's quilt top first.  I am pre-washing the border fabric this morning and am hoping to get the top finished by the end of the week.  Then I get to pass it on to T, who will hand quilt it.  Before the border, the quilt is 86" X 86".    So much to do, and I have to go to work tomorrow.  Oh well, it keeps me in fabric!

What I Started in Kuna!

I started the Garden Delight jelly roll quilt, at Room to Learn in Kuna, last week.  I did not get the first one-fourth of it done, but I hope to continue working on it next week.  Super Bowl Sunday, I was working on the B&W Mostly quilt. I did not get all those blocks done.  I still have some piecing on Jojo's quilt to finish.  I am scoping out a backing for that one.  Then, I have to finish quilting the "Greedy" quilt, so it can be done for the Feb. 21 meeting in Kuna.   The Garden Delight quilts look fabulous. I can't wait to see everyone's when they are finished.  J wants the tops done in time for the Kuna meeting, but  . . . we shall see.  This is what mine looks like right now.  Lovely, I know.
