Finished at last

Last fall while at the retreat in Racine, I got this top together,
It is done!!!  All quilted and bound.
Off and on this summer I have been trying to get a few quilts done.
The wonderful lady that has been quilting for me moved to Florida the end of July, so I wanted to get as many quilts done and have her quilt them before she left.
She was so kind and did keep up with me.
I do like this Hawaiian one.  It feels very nice to take a nap under.
Even the white fabric is a white on white Hawaiian print.
It is one way to dig into my Hawaiian fabric stash.

Here we have a quilt from several years ago that started in a Ugly fabric exchange.
The ugly fabric was the flower print in the inside of the blocks, the star.
I pulled out the pink, turquoise and greens to add to it.
It just may get to be used for a baby quilt someday.

My tumbler flag was a kit, and had also sat around for several years.
At the last retreat it finally got sewn together, and now it is quilted and bound.

"Let it Snow" was put together a couple of years ago, but never quilted. Time to get it done.
It is quilted and bound.  Sure not ready to be thinking of snow yet.  It is just getting nice and warm.

A couple of Sundays ago, I got all of these twister quilts done.
They had all been sewn into the squares, but none had been cut with the twister tool and sewn back together.
I had been carrying them around in my Thursday quilt bag for at least a year or more, and finally decided they needed to be done.  The orange one has been given to my friend Jane.
She had made a quilt for one of her granddaughters, and when she wasn't looking I pulled the scrapes out of the wastebasket
and sewed them together to make this.  The bigger prints do not do up quite as well for contrast.  I like how the orange an turquoise solid looking fabrics show up.

I have been trying to keep up with my long list of things to be finished!

Have a great day.
Mary

Good for you for finishing so many neat projects. I really like the Hawaiian quilt. That may be a good kind of design for my Asian prints. Do you have another quilter lined up?

Wow - you are on a roll! I especially love the Hawaiian prints! And the flag. What size are your tumblers? I still have a rather large supply of red scraps . . .
