Tied Completion

I finished my inherited UFO. This quilt was started by my Aunt Margaret. She had layered it and pin-basted it. I decided to tie it and use buttons I already had. (I have WAY TOO MANY buttons!) I used only white and red buttons. I love it! It went immediately on my bed.

Finished 8/24/17. 

Pieced Backs

I finished piecing a quilt backing yesterday for my 16-patch Jewel quilt I am quite happy with it.

Searched for the batting this morning and I think I have found it. I still need to measure it. Good Grief!

My grandchildren are coming for dinner tonight so I'm not layering the quilt top YET. As a reminder, this is the quilt top:

No new critters in the trap this morning. We are up to 2 raccoons and 1 opossum.

Pictures!

Ok, I was good last night. I dragged a bunch of my quilt tops out and took pictures. I really like the afternoon the best for pictures.

100-Patch Quilt

 My 100-patch Quilt is a pattern by https://weddingdressblue.wordpress.com.

Still working on another pattern by the same author, Film at Five. I have about 7 or more of the 25 blocks that are needed. They are 25-patch blocks at 2.5 inches. They seem so huge compared to the miniatures I have been creating.
