Finished the Top

Yesterday I finished the top that I started on Tuesday night, amazing how quickly that went together, I even surprised myself.  Even more amazing......everything came from my stash, including the backing and binding, the only thing I had to purchase was the batting.  I need to watch for the next big sale on batting at Joann's and get a large quantitiy so I will always have some here when I work on smaller lap/twin size quilts.  What do ya think.....
I will try to take another picture outside later today, to see if the colors look different.  I am planning on keeping this one and putting it on the ladder in the livingroom corner.  I think I will try to make a few more quilts like this using fabric (most I already have) that is "seasonal" so I can change during the year!  Sounds like a great idea, stay tuned to see if I actually get it done, LOL. 

I want to get in the attic today and get the fall stuff down so I can decorate and actually enjoy it until after Thanksgiving.  The fall stuff goes great with my house as most of the colors I have are all in that family of colors so I love the feel of my house, just need to add a few quilts to make it cozy.  I looked at the pictures  from the last post and laughed because I make quilts and I had fleece throws on my chairs not quilts!  Terry, I promise the next photo with the ladder will have a quilt on it even if it is not complete, LOL, it will take longer to get them on the chairs and back of the sofa! 

Gotta get going so I can get something done today!

  7. I love the top, both the colors and the design. I crochet afghans and make quilted throws and yet I have fleece throws on our chairs. They're much easier to wash and dry every week to recycle the dog hair. :)

I really enjoy hearing your comments, sorry I had to turn on the "word verification" but I got my first comment from a "non-person".......I prefer comments from people.
