Tuesday I got busy picking out backing fabrics, piecing it together in some case and selecting the quilt to go with a particular backing. Most of my quilting is for charities so I like for the backing to be interesting and not necessarily to match the actual quilt top. Plus my binding is usually from a totally different fabric. You know kids love color, lots of color. I didn't keep track of what fabric I busted yesterday but it was alot and it felt good. You see I have a very very large stash .... ask my DH. So here's a photo of 9 backings all matched up to 10 charity quilts tucked inside.
It'll take me a couple weeks to finish these up .... I'll post when they're done.
I had 9 quilts almost finished ... they only needed their Project Linus labels. I'll turn these in at our February meeting. Quilt tops were actually quilted in 2007. I make very simply charity quilts like bar quilts. I quilted all of these on my Prince (long arm). Here they are:
Most of my charity quilts are approximately 40" x 56" range. I also make mostly of boy theme quilts. A large portion of the quilts donated to our local Linus are for babies and girls thus my reason for boy quilts.
Here's a few samples ....... see I told you they were simply bar type quilts. I'm not much of a traditionalist quilter, matching points, corners, making blocks and etc.
Well I'm off to my Wednesday Stitching group ........ love this group .... no rules, no dues, no officers .... nothing but great friendship and lots of chit chat.
