    Great finished so far this month!

    Here's one to add to our list. It's for my SisterInLaw. I had intended on making her a whole different quilt, but after I finished all the Grandkid's quilts her daughter shared that she wished she could have a quilt like the grandkids were getting. She wanted to see more of all the fabrics her mom had had. Nuf said! I took her bag of grandma fabric that I had kitted and made one like the grands! Her daughter told me she liked light blue, she was lucky grandma had enough light blue stripe! I started making it with yellow stars but it kept telling me to use white. (Do Amy if you have quilts that talk?) i unpicked all the yellow and started over with white! I made it larger than the grandkids too, which required me to piece the back. For her back, I used fabric that was actually curtains in my SisterInLaw's bedroom when she was a girl. I hope she likes her quilt! It's really one of my favorite grandma quilts.

    I like that SherrieR-- the front and the back and the quilting! Good job bringing it all together.

    SheriR...great quilt. Nice quilting. I want to learn to do FMQ. I have a small top with greens/blues and plan that as my first practice FMQ project...won't be started until some of the bigger sized quilts are completed.

    What a great compliment when a potential quilt recipient doesn't want a different one.

    Good Morning. I am still working on hand sewing the binding to the back of my quilt. Having some issues with it.
