Marie's Quilt Top Finished!

I finally added the border to my quilt top and now it is finished.  It isn't quilted yet, but I'm ready to put it aside for a bit and work on another project for a while.  The picture of the quilt isn't the greatest, but I find it hard to get a good picture of a quilt this big.  You can see the border at the bottom of the quilt.  I put the same border on the sides too.

This has been a fun and challenging project for me.

Scarecrow finish

Finally!  All done.  Quilted and binding on.  It is a pretty big quilt to get a picture of.  I did qayg so I will lay the quilt out and take a picure of the back for you.  I am happy with my quilt and I am thankful that this project was offered and I had the opportunity to participate.

Lyn's final top without borders...

I am glad she saved the best for last.  This is a wonderful rendition of home.  I see Grandma's pine trees along the driveway, the corral/garden, our house, and the horse pasture.

Love it!

Pam's Woods Mystery Without Borders and Quilting

I thought I would just go ahead and post my top. It is still a mystery to my husband. I have tried to explain, but he just doesn't get it. LOL I guess only a quilter could appreciate it. Since he likes greens and browns, this will still probably be one of his favorites!

Bird Border

I have the border on!  I found this cute striped fabric that is made to go with my other basic fabrics.  Some of the flowers are exactly like the ones in the flower print, and the colors all match.  I simply put the border on three sides and mitered the corners.

It's hard to get a really good shot that shows what it looks like in total, and the bed we have here is a Hollywood king, so it doesn't fit properly, but you get the idea.  I will now put this quilt away until we get home in September and quilt it next winter.  Meanwhile, I brought along another one that I can work on when I have the time.  I'm hoping to see more of you come to conclusion this month!!

Rule 14 & 15 - finished!

I ended up combining Rules 14 and 15 because of time constraints with student teaching starting soon (and the fact that I was behind on #14....lol). I haven't got a clue why the pic is sideways, but that's beside the point. The piano key border is one of my favorite things to use in bordering a quilt and there's no pink in the entire quilt. =) The hearts in the corners of the border are what remained of the teddy bear panel. I do admit to machine applique'ing them on because I didn't have time to do them otherwise. The only thing that didn't get in from Rule 14 was the pinwheel and that's because I could think of how to add one.

I'm not real happy with all the open background fabric in the bottom right, so I may end up adding something else there. But haven't decided on that.

I've had a great time working on the mystery this past year. It's been great fun to watch as everyone's quilt has unfolded. And if another one is done I'd love to take part again!
