I know what I haven't been up to and that has been posting to my blog. But I have a good excuse. I have been working and also getting some sewing done.
I have managed to complete 3 quilt tops in the last couple of weeks. All 3 are now in different stages of completion.
This is an appliqued quilt I started back in October or November of last year. I finally finished all the applique, got the blocks sewn together and border added. That is as far as this one got.
I purchased it as a kit a couple of years ago. Not the kind of quilt kit I would purchase but it was 40% off so I couldn't pass it up.
This one is a quilt that I made from a Canoe Country Jelly Roll by Moda. I have actually already got it quilted and waiting on the binding. I am not really crazy about canoes but I have a friend that is planning a canoe inspired bedroom in her new home. I think this will be a perfect gift for her.
Then there is this one! My Red, White & Black Log Cabin quilt. In this photo the quilt is actually upside down but with it being so huge, I didn't take the time to turn it around. Are you wondering if this one is quilted yet? Scroll down to find out!
No it isn't quilted yet! I did finish getting it loaded on my frame this afternoon. It was a little tricky with the way I did my backing. After it is finished I will post a photo of the back. I hope it turns out like I planned! I did manage to quilt one pass on it but thought I better get dinner ready. So it will just have to wait until tomorrow. I am not sure how long this one is going to take. At some point I will have to take it off the frame and turn it around to be able to complete it. That should be interesting since I have never done that before and this quilt is HUGE!!!!
I guess that is it for now. I will try not to wait so long to post next time!

Great Quilts-as ususal!! LOVE the "A" word quilt! You were right that last one is a doozie!
Love them all...good work you have done. The log cabin one does look like a challenge to quilt.
