Quilts...

[Chanda]

Ace , Thankyou !!!  Im very excited to be able to give this to my Sister ( when the time comes) I really hope its something she will pack away after using it for her  new born and it can be passed on down through her Children's children

I hope it's loved to death, and the next generation needs a new one.  Only the pictures of it being loved are passed on.

I can get these two prints in yellow, just checking if I can get them in the size I want (I can get pre-cuts when available or whole bolts); the yellow is nice and soft:

How about using the Hearts as a border ?

Not sure if I have enough for that, but I could probably use it similar to the fairy squares in this quilt for Diane a couple years ago:

I like the butterfly one

I'm trying to get the prints, but might end up with plain blender as the prints are currently out of stock.  I was leaning towards the swirly one, but will let my sale rep know, the butterfly is preferred; so to look for that one (they are having an open house this weekend, so lots of fabric will move through the doors).

Thats fine , no worries at all. Plain Blender will look just as great

They are doing their open house, Sunday.  She's holding the two pieces for me now, and we'll check to see if they do more pre-cuts for the open house.   I'd like to have the butterfly if I can, even for the backing, so there is a bit more "texture" in the quilt.

Been running all day the last several days, we're harvesting wheat, so busy.  If weather holds and there are no more breakdowns, we could probably be done in about a week; but the next 3 days are 100% precip predictions, so might take a bit longer to get done.

I'll hopefully be able to get back to sewing fairly soon, but don't hold your breath.

Finished the top, and if this rain continues and keeps us from harvesting, I hope to go to town tomorrow for the sewing day and get the layers pinned together on this quilt and the elephant quilt, so I'm ready for quilting when I get the chance to start on that.
So, Diane, here is your blue, grey, tan top, what you think?   And, how do you feel about flannel for the back?  I have some grey and some tan flannel, just plain, no print; would make it cozy.
And, I'm pretty sure I'll use the blue star print for the binding, since I still have some and it should be plenty for the binding (and it seems to go really well with the grey and tan background fabric).

I think it is stunning, and MORE than I could have hoped for.  As always, Chanda, you are so blessed with your talent, and that blesses me as well.  It's just PERFECT, and I think the flannel would be AWESOME~!

Very Nice Chanda

Thank you, Diane.  I'll go with the flannel, I should have enough of one color or the other.  It's ready for "sandwiching".

Very Nice Chanda

Thank you, very much.

And, this fabric is going on the back of the elephant baby quilt.  I have enough to use for backing, and there is a small amount of it on the front, so looks like a good plan.  [The top is done now, but I didn't get that picture.]

[Chanda]

Not that Shayne's happy about the still raining issue, and not being able to harvest; but it does mean I do get to go to the quilt guild sewing day and get these two quilts ready for quilting.  [And, hopefully before too long I can get them quilted as well.]

Just beautiful!!
