Grinch Quilts

50 x 63
I don't know if I have ever completely made a quilt in 1 month but I know I have never completely made 2 quilts in a month. Of course, they aren't anything special from a design/construction/quilting standpoint but I really like them a lot and they are going to be great sofa quilts for Christmas.
There was no plan for these. I started by estimating the finished size of the quilt and from that decided on a block size of 10 x 13. Next I framed the panel blocks out to 10.5 x 13.5 and then started making the other blocks to fill in.  I got both tops made in about a day and a half.
​Both are backed in flannel. I created the backing by sewing 3 lengths of flannel fabric and I was able to load one long backing piece and quilt the both to it. That stripe fabric was the middle section so there's some of it on both quilts. The quilting is very simple. I did the fern meander on one and a ribbon meander on the other. I actually had to order another yard of fabric for the binding and, of course, it's all machine stitched too. There isn't a hand stitch in the whole thing!
