Back in Oct. I shared the saga of this quilt top. (read about it here) I decided to make it bigger and this is the final result. It's one of three quilts I hope to finish to donate to the CZU quilt giveaway for people who lost their homes in the Santa Cruz Mountains fires in Aug.
This top is currently on the quilt frame it measures about 88" square. It's about half quilted. I hope to finish it today or tomorrow.
I started this next quilt as a break from making all those green piano keys. All the heart blocks were from my Orphan Block stash.
It turned out to be so much fun I finished it first and got it quilted and now it's being bound.
This is the biggest top I've quilted in a long time; 97" square!
That was a real work out!
I pieced the backing. Talk about a Stash Buster! 6 Yards worth!!
The third quilt is a top I started several years ago.
It staled out when I decided to do some applique on the outer borders!
HAHAHA! 
Here's the final top! Luckily I had the companion fabric with the cross stitch alphabet print. Adding the simple outer border was an easy finish to another UFO!!!!
I started this quilt because I wanted a Winter Flannel quilt for my own bed. When I was searching around for my next CZU project I got this out and looked at it. I even tried it out on my bed. But it did not ring any bells for me so decided to finish it to donate to the CZU project..
I really love this colonial revival print but it did not work with my bedroom decor.
Yipee! I'm on a roll!!!
Happy and Healthy December to you all!!
Take care, cw
Very nice, all of them! Love how you made the basket quilt larger--excellent save.:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Audrey! Except for having to do some major back stitching on that one it was fun! I like to think of these orphan projects as puzzles that need solving!
DeleteOh goody, three more bed size quilts! I was so afraid we would have any for the next giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMaybe my”Amish” one should go, too.I have a couple backs to choose from.. let’s talk soon.
I've been thinking the same thing! I'll call you!
DeleteExcellent finishes! You ARE on a roll--a shining example for the rest of us...I like these quilts a lot. Thanks for sharing them, Claire.
ReplyDeleteVery generous of you to make up the bigger quilts for the CZU folks. They were pretty well depleted on the "bigger" bed size table. I recognize the flannel revival house fabric. I made a quilt with it in the mid 90's. I call it my strike quilt, as all the teachers in our province were forced into a strike dispute with my school board.
ReplyDeleteHey Brenda! Ya that is what I heard too! I like making big quilts and I'm very fortunate that I have a long arm and it's relatively easy to quilt them. I really like that fabric...just does not go with my room. oh well. take care!
