Productive Week
Here were my retreat projects. I feel pretty good about what I got done.
Another quilt made from the cowboy fabric!! Yeehaw! I have a border fabric picked out and am hoping to get it on today.
I added the cheddar outside the spikes to help give this quilt balance. I brought a stencil to possibly get it prepped for trapunto. The stencil was too small and am now having second thoughts about doing it at all.
After finding my blocks at home I finished the main body of Just Takes Two!! After seeing some options I considered a more elaborate border, but only for about two seconds. Now I'm thinking a 4-6" red border and calling it DONE!

OH my they are all beautiful! I really like the cowboy quilt, someone is really going to love that one!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your family. The snow pictures were beautiful!
ReplyDeleteyour quilt successes are amazing! Merry Christmas, be safe and warm!
ReplyDeleteVery productive! Just love that red/green/cheddar appliqué quilt!
ReplyDeleteI already saw the snow pictures and are envious - we are in Florida now. The quilt tops are all wonderful! Your jubilee quilt is awesome and I think the final cheddar border does set it off well. The red and white is gorgeous! I wish I had time to participate in all the wonderful quilt projects on blogs, but I have to keep my priorities in order. You have gotten so much accomplished this year so congratulations go to you. Have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThat Jubilee quilt is something to really be proud of, Lori.
ReplyDeleteI usually opt for more simple borders--gives the eye a resting place and gives me a finish! : )
Wonderful works Lori. Love the cheddar border on the jubilee quilt! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteClever play with some rail fence blocks! Yeah I think a plain red border will frame up all those complicated JT2 blocks nicely.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Lori! It's less than hour to Christmas day here.
Wow! Every time I see your Jubilee quilt I like it better :0) Trapunto does sound wonderful and I admire it so much on antique quilts but I haven't tried it yet - good luck! Weither you do it or not this will be a fabulously wonderful quilt! The cowboys look great! And you must be so pleased with your JT2 - what a sampler!!
ReplyDeleteOkay call me crazy but this is what popped into my head when I saw the dates on your quilt......your birth and death years....not your 50th B'd.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to say something about your birthday on the top?
Happy Sewing and Merry Christmas
Once again, Lori, you get the prize for most accomplished during a little retreat! I love your nephew's (to be) quilt and your Jubilee top is amazing. thanks for the inspiration on the JTF. I love how they turned out and I would never have done it without your help! Have a great Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWow, you were super productive. Always wonderful eye candy!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your, Lori.
Wonderful work, lovely cowboy quilt, and your celebration quilt is more gorgeous all the time!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Lori! Your Jubilee quilt is awesome - love that spiky border, well, actually I love it all!
ReplyDeleteWow Lori - your Jubilee quilt is so wonderful!! Wish I was as far along with mine. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteBoth great quilts...I'm with you on the simple border for the red and white...there is enough going on in there as it is and finished feels so good!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Lori!
ReplyDeleteYour Jubilee quilt doesn't need trapunto, I don't think. It is already beautiful.
Always love a rail fence - how appropriate for cowboy fabric!
Your Just Takes Two makes me wish I had done it.
Wonderful projects and your quilts are always so beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Christmas tomorrow.
Debbie
Great way to Finish out your Jubilee year. The cheddar was a good addition to the spiked border. Have a great Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI do love your jubilee quilt !! Hope you've had a great Christmas !
ReplyDeleteThe extra cheddar makes it perfect! Another cute cowboy quilt.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are going to keep the border simple on your red and white quilt. Plenty to look at with the blocks. ;)
