Reached another goal....

Two more UFO's have bit the dust.


The binding is all hand stitched down on my black and cream toile quilt.
So here is the completed quilt. 


The binding is, also, on the Painted Daisy quilt.


....and here is the completed quilt.


Of course my goal was to get these two done before the 10th when the new Beyond the Cherry Trees block was available, but I missed it by only one day. I guess if I hadn't taken a couple days off to rest the 'ole wrists, I would have been ahead of schedule, but that's ok.  I still think I am doing good. 

So, the next project is #8 BOM (Cherry Trees).  I will be printing up that block and getting busy on it tomorrow. ( http://sentimentalstitches.net/free-stuff/polka-dot-garden/beyond-the-cherry-trees-album-quilt/ )

My goal this month after making the next Cherry Tree block is to make the binding for the brown batik quilt that is at the quilters right now (my Zen quilt) and just maybe get to a "crayon challenge" quilt that is due at a retreat in June.  I am not going to hold my breath on that one, but we will see.  I will have it started for sure. It can be as small as 22" square, so we will see.  I am just trying to keep up the momentum.

  4. Very good finishes! I have a piece of red toile that needs to go into something, this might be the ticket. Can't wait to see your cherry tree block.

  5. The quilts look fantastic. I love the toile in the first one. Two great finishes. I must go back and check out the Cherry Trees, that one's on my list.
