Thinking of cutting the border into squares and just doing a checkerboard with the solid white.

I used two strips sewn together to make the continuous prairie points for the pillow. I have more since it's a WOF strip so I'll make another pillow to use it on when I think of a different design.

It has a soft, old-fashioned look to me though the colors are brighter.

its really pretty; what pattern did you use?

Thanks all. It's a simple little quilt but it's cheery. It's small enough to curl up with and not so much work that you don't want it dragged around by the grandkids.

I have to ask, do you quilt them by hand or machine? You make so many so quickly!

I quilt by hand but, since my frame is taken up with a big log cabin right now, none of them are getting quilted. I will get these last ones done by a LAQ. I got a book on machine quilting so I'll see how I like it but it's going to be awhile before I attempt it on an actual quilt.

The last two are simple JR quilts that can be done in a couple of days. Kind of like a quilt in a weekend with jelly rolls. :wink:

I don't have any plans to give it away and didn't make it for anyone specifically. These quilts that I am making that I don't have a recipient in mind I am thinking of making a muslin bag for each one, like a pillow case, to store them. I have a whole bunch of unbleached muslin.

There is a small dresser at my parents' house that I will be picking up that I can store them in. I don't think the quilts should be against wood so maybe I can line all sides of the drawers.
