Completion & Natures Perfection

Letha's quilt made the journey to the long arm shop today. Here are the before and after pics. Of course no quilt leaves here without first being tested. This is Boo our official quilt tester. The pile of coral/green fabric is for the backing.

My husband has the green thumb in our house. This is one of his masterpieces. Oh, BTW the quilts in the background are a few of my class samples.

Pretty in Pink

Headed for bed soon, but thought I would post a few pics of Letha's quilt. She went shopping with me just before the holidays and picked out pinks, greens and a few browns. I added some white on white and a few pink pieces I had. I told her I learned something from the kids blue/brown string quilt. Hers' would be done in squares instead of rectangles. That way I didn't have to worry about placing the dark center strip on half the opposing corners. I also decided I wouldn't worry about light and dark halves. I'm just grabbing and piecing. These blocks are only half done. I put them up on the design wall to make sure my obsessive half would not surface and force me to do the light/dark thing!
