Finished!

Finally!  I started this in June for AYOS.  It started out as the Leap Year Schnibble but I got tired of making the 36 patch blocks after 13.  So I thought I would try my hand at a log cabin block-and it measured the same size!  So off I went to make 15 of each.  This is American Jane's Happy Campers line.  I used a honey bun and 2 yards of the brown basket weave.  I'm not sure how much of the landscape fabric I used for the border.  I'm happy to have finished this one!

Border tryout

Hmmmmmmm.  Wondering about this border.  I think I will need to bind this quilt in red.

an evening's work

 Here is the finished body of the Leap Year plus Log Cabins quilt.

Below it is shown with a sample of the border fabric.  I wanted to get that done tonight too but I'm too tired to do it properly.

slowly, slowly . . .

I started this quilt in June-the Leap Year Schnibble.  The 36 sq blocks are from that pattern.  I got tired of making those so started the log cabin ones.  I finally finished the 30 blocks that I need yesterday.  After I get them all sewn together I will put on a border of some Happy Campers fabric-my favorite line from American Jane.  The blocks are all made from a Happy Camper Honeybun. I think this quilt will finish somewhere around 55x64.  We'll see!

beginning

I started the new AYOS Schnibble Leap Year before we went up to the lake.  I'm using my honey bun of Happy Campers by American Jane.  I can't believe I actually cut it up!  I may work on it this evening after Mass but I really want to sew up a new pair of pjs too.

Finished Quilts!

This is the Happy Camper quilt I made for DH. I bought it as a kit last year at the Houston International Quilt Festival. I'm really glad that I finished it before Festival this year!
This is the backing for the quilt. I just love it's retro goodness!

Isn't this quilting beautiful? Karen the Quilter did a great job. I love the leaves. I asked for brown thread and I really like it because it spruces up some of the bland white/light tan blocks.


This is the Shades of Blue bluebonnet lap quilt. I was hoping to finish it in time for my dear friend's brain surgery but she got the jump on me. Unfortunately she will be having another surgery, so I will save it for then or give it to her for Christmas.

I was trying to show the great quilting here.

And here is the back. Love that bluebonnet batik. I even went back and bought a couple more yards of it. You can really see the nice quilting here.
