More finished tops


I don’t usually like to show photos of my quilts until they are completed but with the stack of tops I have by the time these get quilted you probably won’t remember them anyway! The first is a roosting robin quilt I have been working on. I wrote about it here. It is of my own design and was fun to work on. I am glad to have it finished! The second quilt is a maple leaf quilt I started a couple of years ago. I did the 15 – 30 min a day thing with this one. I got up 30 min early each morning and dedicated that time to sewing this quilt together. After I got the blocks sewed together I was stumped as to what border should go on it. I put it to the side for about a year. Last winter when I went to our Miss Mary’s retreat I found the batik leaf print. I decided that instead of a pieced border I would just finish it off with a fabric border and call it quits. Of course it took me 11 months to get around to putting the borders on! So this is the last of the projects that I worked on over my Christmas break. I hope I can keep the momentum going and finish a few more before winter ends and baseball starts!
