A Baker's Dozen!

I buckled down yesterday and got the last 4 quilts done. These 4 all either use my fabric or my pattern. Back in January I did a program on veterans quilts and introduced 4 patterns and gave out a bunch of kits. Two of the "kits" were really just scrap bags and I think both of these quilts came from those. This one might be from Karen because she's combined the string scraps with some other scraps that I gave her at another time. She happily takes all the scraps that I give her! I love how she combined the scraps in this one.

I think that Gwen got the other bag of scraps and I think I remember her showing this at the CSQ meeting last month. It looks like she had a great time combining the fabrics into 10" squares. Both fo these are fun quilts. I quilted these with a lavender thread.

The backing for these 2 quilts is a pale forest green.

This one uses my Blockade pattern and I think that Betty may have made it. I love the color palette.

Both of these last 2 quilts are straight blocks (no borders) so I moved back to the front of the machine to do my favorite motif: the wavy cross-hatch. It's sooooo fast and looks great.

This was another kit that I put together and this one uses the Regiment pattern. The dark background is not black, it's really a very dark purple. The key fabric was a black on white that I overdyed gold. Becky pieced it in between making Elvis quilts.

Gold thread was perfect on both of these quilts. I especially like how it stands out in the dark purple.

I had a gold fabric that was just right for the backing for these 2 quilts.

13 quilts ready to deliver! Whew! 
Now I can just spend today and tomorrow relaxing and sewing with my quilting buddies.
