Fall Quilt Progress...

I didn't mean to not post for a month (or more). I've been really busy. sewing. quilting. honestly!

Here's what I've been working on...

Halloween Runner - this one is for my youngest sister. She sent me a picture of a quilt that she liked and then she sent me some dimensions. I had to keep putting it aside as other more important things came up. I finally finished it last week to mail it...to the wrong address. It's on it's way back to me now...sigh. lesson learned. I thought about confirming her address and didn't...I will from now on. Here's the runner...

I did the quilting myself and I love love love it!! Hopefully I can still get it to my sister to use this year... sigh.

The other quilt I've been working on is Cindy Lou Who from the book "Another Bit of Schnibbles" by Carrie Nelson. Here's the first layout:

I didn't like it. I decided to replace 4 squares. My friend thought I was crazy as they are 4 squares in the middle of the top. Here's the new top with the replacement blocks:

I had just pinned them in place. LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I ripped it apart and put the new blocks in place. Now I'm trying to decide if I'm putting the black and white squares in for the border...

The quilt I was helping with this is for a friend. Her daughters choir is putting on a concert and the quilt will be a raffle that only military (current and retired) will get free tickets into. The winner gets the quilt. Here's the top:

We finished the quilt Thursday night. As soon as I get the picture, I'll post. The creativity of the choir kids in this quilt is phenomenal! Such heartfelt messages!!
So, it's been busy - although nothing quite done yet.
