I sewed most of Sunday on Easy Street. All of Part 7 (pieced setting triangles) is complete. On Part 8, I have three of Block A completed and about half of Block B completed. I love this quilt and think it will make a great graduation gift for my Granddaughter. Since it is two years before her graduation, that gives me plenty of time to machine quilt it after the top is completed. Sometimes I am very slow at getting quilts on the frame and quilted. Also, I do not have border fabric yet that I am completely satisfied with. In a pinch, I do have a Kaffe Fassett fabric that might work, but to me the fabric does not speak young lady!
I started a QOV quilt. It will sew up fast, but because I am only using from my stash, I will need to be creative with the borders to get it up to size. Just not enough fabric to make the center as large as I would have liked.

Yes, the quilt is a rail fence design. I only had a little bit of fabric and wanted something quick and easy. Glad to have you among the quilting ranks.
DeleteThanks for stopping in.
Your quilt of valor looks like a nice change of pace after easy street. Both are looking great though, glad you were able to use your stash.
ReplyDeleteThe rail fence is so easy, it is a nice break from ES. Love, love your pink postage stamp!
DeleteBeth, your Easy Street colors are gorgeous, and what a fabulous graduation quilt!!
ReplyDeleteHi Lyn, Thanks for visiting. I went with Bonnie's colors since I knew they would work for my granddaughter.
DeleteLovely quilts. I have a stack of tops to quilt too. I am not sure why I have so many to get on the frame? Oh, wait batting, backing fabrics lol. I have lots of little scraps that I can put together....
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting me know that I am not the only one slow to get quilts on the frame to be quilted. Take care and thanks for visiting.
DeleteLove the depth and varied green colors you are using! It is going to be stunning! Thanks for donating to QOV also, and for visiting my blog! Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteKevin, glad you stopped by. I am looking forward to seeing more of your quilts in the future.
DeleteLove your Bonnie mystery quilt. I'm still working away on the last few steps. Your greens are great!
