Grandchild #5 Has His Quilt!

This is the finished quilt. It was finished in the motel the night before we left for home. (This photo was taken in the motel hallway!) ha.

Getting a little closer...

Closer still . . .

I had it machine quilted. The owner of our local quilt shop has a long-arm quilter. Didn't she do a great job?? :-)

Here's my grandchild - loving his new quilt!

:-) Happy Grandma.

Crazy For You Quilt - progress report!

It seems as though it's been a

LONG time

since I've posted progress on my almost-three-year-old grandson's quilt!

Here we go! One more long seam this evening, and I'll take it to town tomorrow for long-arm quilting.

Individual blocks

Our Michigan grandson gets blueberry fabric (did you find it?)! His birthday is in May. He will have to wait until June to receive it, as we won't be traveling until then.

Pretty exciting, though!!

Update on the Crazy Quilt

Sixteen Blocks

And quite a number yet to go...
but it's Very Fun!

One More Twin Quilt!

This one is for grandson Hayden!

It's a Crazy Quilt, but I'm doing it with a "pattern."

As you can see, the blocks are printed on muslin.

You just lay the pieces of fabric (face down) on the block, sew the seam, trim it and press. You lay the next piece face down on the previously sewn piece(s) and sew one more seam, trim it and press. Etc. :-)

I've just laid the first 8 blocks onto a piece of blue fabric to help visualize what it might look like with "sashing" between the blocks.

I hope no one expects it by Christmas...
but I'd like to make that a goal.
