Last week, I put pedal to the metal and finished two quilts! First is Taquila Sunrise, made with part of a jelly roll and some black, using a pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Company (Diamond Rail Fence). I quilted this quite closely using a diamond pattern and echo quilting starting at the center. It would make a nice wall hanging in a contemporary home or office. It's a bit too stiff to use as a table topper. I was going to take a photo of it on my neighbor's bistro table, but I realized it would not show well.
And next is the Scrappy Logs, using 2" logs from the rest of the Amy Butler fat quarter "Violetta" bundle. It's crib-sized and quilted in waves going across. I experimented with a "faux piping" binding and it turned out great.
Now on to the scrappy hearts top - all pin-basted and ready to quilt after a trip to Joann's for some wide muslin. It really feels good to finish up a few things.
