I'm on the home stretch with the last of my veterans quilts for 2023. I finished 2 more yesterday. This is one that I made and I absolutely love it. The blue fabrics are all from leftover veterans quilt backs and the color fabrics are hand dyed FQ sized scraps. This fun quilt was made by Marcy. I always love seeing her quilts because she and I think so differently and I often try to channel a little more Marcy in my quilts. Both of these are quilted with the Square Spiral pantograph. I have 2 more quilts ready to load today and hope to have them done by tomorrow. Then I will dye a quilt back for one of my big quilts and try to work on that over the holiday. After I finish the last 2 veterans quilts I need to get busy making some pet beds. This is the current stash of chopped up batting scraps and it will make a lot of pet beds!
The other thing I want to do this weekend is to get the Sashiko machine out and start learning how to use it. Stay tuned!

Both quilts are a delight. I love the bright cheerfulness of yours (and all the hand dyed fabrics) but Marcy's is closer in style to my typical quilt making. Ha ha.

I like both quilts - someone is going to love them I'm sure. Comments are closed.
