Red & White Day

 I'm thrilled to no end to have this quilt completed! It was worth all the boredom of a two color quilt!!
Why is it I can spot my "oops" as soon as I see a photo but not when I am looking at the quilt?

 The cable border looks great although my quilting gets a little folk artsy in places where I lost my lines. It's uniquely mine, that's for sure.

 Extra wide backing made it easy to baste. Love the fabric!

This month's Just Takes Two blocks were easy. I haven't felt much like being at the sewing machine, but one afternoon was all it took to get these done.

Thank you all for the good wishes to get better. It's taking it's time leaving that's for sure.  The last couple of nights I've slept better so I am sure I'm on the mend.  Thanks again!!

I hope to be back soon. A late summer cold really threw me off my game. Aargh!!

A Little Porch Time for August

Here are all my blocks so far. I am loving this quilt!!

Next month let's do E1- shoofly blocks and hand prints ( I plan on appliqueing something other then hands)
D2- chunky basket and D1- star
Let's piece section C so we are ready for the applique.

Once these are done section E and D can be sewn together!! Woo-Hoo!!

Feel free to add links to pieces we may not have seen yet!!

Here is cowboy quilt #2!!

 

 

Patchwork backing with Karen's awesome appliqued Indian that I used for a label.

 

I asked my friend Kathy  to do a simple all over quilting. I hope it gets lots of use and wear!

 

Couple of close ups of the fantastic fabric my readers shared with me.

Thank you so much!!

Here's close ups of the one I showed you earlier in the week.

And here's the cowboy and cowgirl on one of the quilts. (The other one was on the other bed in the other room)  See the cute stencils on the wall? A perfect fit!!
