Today I not only got all the laundry done, but two of the charity quilts that have been sitting here waiting to be quilted are on and off the long arm. What a good feeling!
First one up was this kit that really didn't have any instructions in it and had so much more fabric than needed. I pared it down to fabrics that went together and came up with this design. I meandered the quilt using a tangerine colored So-Fine thread. No sense in getting really fancy with the quilting on this one since it is already so busy.
The backing is a Disney fabric.
Such a fun quilt. I think some child is really going to love it.
Up next is a kit I put together from the fabrics that are in the "charity closet". Nancy came up with the idea of throwing in some checks with this big floral print and I think it turned out just perfect.
I used the Denise's Rosebuds pantograph and a dusty pink thread (So Fine) to quilt this one.
Since we didn't have a great fabric for a backing, I purchased this one to go with this quilt top.
Getting two done in a day (40x50 each) I feel energized and ready to put a couple more on that I have. After that, I have some personal quilts that need getting to; but for now, I am pretty happy with the progress made today.
Of course, there is still the binding to tackle, but I like doing bindings, so I don't foresee that as a problem.
That dear quilt with its bright and cheery colors sure makes a person smile...with our constant rain, fog and heavy gray clouds it definitely brought lightness to the day! Love the checks and floral together too.
