The first "almost finished" is a baby quilt that was started in June at another retreat. This quilt was started from a few of the blocks given to me from Janet. She had them leftover from a baby quilt that she was making.
Remember these string blocks? They were started a few years ago as leader/ender blocks and they worked well to use up partially filled bobbins and for stress-free sewing when I'm too tired to use my brain to think, but want to sew anyway.
This is what they look like now. I finished putting them together and the top is ready to be quilted.
I also made good progress on my Easy Street and the liturgical quilt. I'm linking up with Michelle's Romantic Tangle. Take a look there to see what others are working on.
It looks and sounds as if you made wonderful progress AND wonderful memories! I love the border you added to that cute baby quilt. Every time I see a string quilt, my reaction is , "I want one!". Look at all of those great colors! It's delightful! I think I'm about ready for some sewing that doesn't require the presence of my brain. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE those strings. I'll be working on my string quilt at Tuesday's Quilts of Valor sew-in.
ReplyDeleteGreat tops! Seems your retreat was very productive. Can't wait to see your strings all quilted!
