Update on two finishes

 Hello and welcome to my blog!  It's a nice Spring day in the American Midwest.

I have two finishes to report.  First, a doll quilt for the exchange run by Lori at Humble Quilts.  12 by 18 inches, machine quilted, hand bound.  Yes the flying geese are 3 by 1.5 inches.

And a close up:

You can see I had fun collecting reproduction reds and shirting fabrics.

My second finish is of a columns quilt, in black and white, and reproduction 30's fabrics.  It was quilted by a local long arm quilter.  An overall view:

More on this project at this blog post.  I added the binding by machining it on to the back, ironing it over, then topstitching on the top.  This needs a steady hand and your full attention!  A close up of a corner below:

It goes quite fast.  I am happy to have these done.  The exchange doll quilt is in the mail today.  The second quilt I am saving until the right recipient comes along.

Linking up with Midweek Makers, Wednesday Wait Loss, Needle and Thread Thursday, Put your Foot Down at the Quiltery, Can I get a Whoop Whoop, Nina-Marie,  Finished or Not at Alycia Quilts, Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.

Progress on two fronts

 Hello, and welcome to my blog.

I don't have a finish, but I have been able to make some progress on two projects.

First a small doll quilt for an exchange:

This is 12 by 18 inches, and yes, needs to be trimmed and bound.  It is supposed to look as if it time traveled from the past - so I used reproduction reds and shirting fabrics.  The exchange is hosted by Lori at Humble Quilts.  I need to get going on this!

Second, I have been moving ahead on snowball blocks, using a pattern from a book by Julie Hendricksen.  The individual blocks finish at 4 inches square.

Here is what I have so far, laid out on the floor.  I have a ways to go, but I am liking how this looks.  Again, reproduction fabrics in navy blue, black, red, pink, and shirting fabric.
