Getting some things done!

Hello dear friends!  Last week was a very productive week as far as getting a few things done was concerned.  I finished three tops.  They were all in various stages of being complete.  The first picture is my granny squares top made out of 30's fabric and started about two years ago.  I just had to put about four rows together.  The quilt is now at the quilter - first quilt ever to be at the quilter and I am excited about it.
 I had started this quilt several years ago for my daughter.  She loved the fabric and I thought I would do a simple snowball to show it off.  I am happy with how it turned out.
 Another view of this quilt.  I made a row of blocks to add to the backing fabric too.  Here the quilt is laid out on her bed so that I could measure to see how wide the border needs to be.  I think a three inch border will be good.  I also finished a spool quilt featured on Moda bake shop, but more on that next time I post.  I hope you are having a great sewing week.

  5. Someone's been very busy! I love both quilts for different reasons. The granny squares quilt has such a traditional, cozy, "real quilt" look about itl The giant snowball is a fabulous way to showcase some of those big, gorgeous prints that we all have but don't know what to do with!
