June UFO
This is my UFO finish for June. I used a different quilting motif in each color block including a new curved ruler. The binding is sort of a faux piped binding done all by machine. There are several tutes on how to do this on the QB.

playswithcolor---that is a bright cheerful quilt! Great job!!
I got 2 projects finished up today. Both were sandwiched earlier this week. The quilt is being donated to a hospice house where a friend died a cancer a couple years ago. The table topper is going to some friends when we go to visit in a couple weeks...I made it as a sample for the LQS where I worked, but never finished it.

Nice bright finish, playswithcolor..like the binding edge...I want to try that on some small quilts...
Carrie, what a generous gift and a tribute to your friend. It will be of comfort I'm sure. The four patch posy looks so summery and will transition into fall nicely.

I'm new to the QB.

Gone most of the summer, but home enough to finish a few more...they all just needed quilting & binding. I do my binding by machine; sew to backside, then flip to front for final sewing. I don't have time for that word "HAND".
1. Quilt guild row by row quilt started in 1/2014, finished 6/2015. 2. Row from #1 that I didn't like in the quilt, so made runner. Both of these are made completely with scraps & they just multiplied instead of going down!!! How does that happen? 3. Mysterytrain #2 from 2012 made with batik scraps, finished 6/2015. 4. Mysterytrain #6 from 2014 made with boy cowboy-looking scraps, finished 6/2015. The last pic is the back of this quilt. I worked like a "crazy lady" in the 2 weeks I was home in June between trips! I'm just happy to get all these finished!

As a beginner I'm trying to keep things in process order. I get the top done and then quilt as that one goes to the hand work area (in front of the tv) the next one is started. The designs that keep popping in my head I keep in a notebook. I'm hoping I can keep it like this. From reading on the site it isn't as easy as it seems.
