 I've got two more veterans quilts ready for quilting and that's all I can do until I get more tops that will pair with the 3 that I have on the closet. So once these 2 are quilted today I need to get another quilt ready to load. I was a little surprised to find that I only have 3 quilt tops! Of course I have big quilting plans for all of these.  I have this one that I finished last summer (May 2018). I more or less know how I might quilt it but I don't have a back for it yet. I'm not sure I'm ready to tackle this.  This postage stamp quilt is my oldest UFO. I started it in 1998! I think I finished this top last year. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to do some Spirograph motifs on this one and I'm not really ready to do that again yet.  The third, and smallest, quilt is this one. It was done during Barbara Brackman's Grandmother's Choice block program. It's the sister quilt to Lura's Choice. Both quilts have the same blocks but they look completely different. I think this will be the next one. I'll spend some time this weekend thinking about quilting motifs.
But my #1 priority for the weekend is to piece the binding for Lost My Marbles. I really want that quilt done by the end of the month.

It will be fun to see which one you do end up deciding to work on...they're all worthy of attention.

I will be watching! My skills would not be enough to tackle any of them except the Veteran's quilt. :-) 6/21/2019 07:30:26 pm
The three quilt tops are all beauties. Its a good thing you have the veteran quilts in between for a little relaxed quilting. And......that would be nice to only have 3 tops waiting in line. I have more like 30.

The tile work on the wall at the end of your long arm in the first photo is so rich and pretty. The funny thing about that photo is that I just loaded a charity quilt that my neighbor pieced using the same pattern and in the same aquas and white. Her color scheme uses the light and dark aquas only. I've looked at it hanging there, very pretty, all weekend but have not been inspired; however, tomorrow is the day. It has to get done and out of the way. Woww! That applliqued flower quilt turned out so pretty. I'm remembering back to when you first opened up that container of pieces. How many years ago has that been? You have really stuck with it. Your blanket stitching is so finely done. Congratulations! Comments are closed.
