Two quilts I finished this weekend
#43
I made the top for the elephants last weekend and did the Yellow & Gray over the Thanksgiving holiday. I quilted them both on Sunday. I put both on the frame and away I went. I would quilt a section on the first then move over and quilt the second. . .It worked pretty well doing two at once. Sunday evening I bound them both.

How sweet! You do very nice work. Very clean lines. The zig zag is very popular this year so you are right on the creative edge. But, I suppose you know that. By the way, I am so jealous that you have been able to get two more finished. I have a back problem since thanksgiving and haven't been able to sew.

Love both - have a chevron quilt on my "to do" list and am encouraged to re-think it by yours. Also - have to admit to a snicker when I first opened your message - I wondered if I also needed a first aid kit and emergency defibrillator in my sewing room, but I see I got your location confused. But thanks for the laugh!

Thanks everybody! Both were really fun to make. A tip for those of you who have the chevron on their to do list. For fast 1/2 square triangles I cut a block of fabric 20 x20 one of the white and the other of print. Layer them together (make sure your print is on the right side) mark off with a pencil squares. Then go diagonal from one corner and repeat through all the squares. Sew a scant 1/4 in on either side of the diagonal line then cut apart. Really easy method.
