Two finishes squeaking in at the end of the year. I love panel quilts. They are quick to put together and so much fun to quilt. I have two more of these done, just need to add the binding. I used bottom line thread on top, wanted a thin thread to keep it a bit softer. Hobbs poly down batting, light and warm. Flannel back with a strip of fun colorful cotton. I had three of these on the frame at one time. Nice to have them done.
I've had this sweet tumbler done for some time now. Finally got in on the frame. I watched a Green Fairy Quilts you tube video on
feather swirls and just went for it. So much fun, fast and easy. I figure with this busy print if it didn't turn out, you wouldn't be able to tell! I will definitely use that one again. Hobbs polydown, Glide thread on top, bottom line in the bobbin
I used the left over fabric from the Sonny quilt and made this bright and cheery tumbler. I'm calling this one Sunset, no more sunny fabrics. I'm in the "use them up" mode rather than putting them away. LOL the leftover quilt is much bigger than the baby quilt!

And speaking of using up, I had so much satisfaction taking all the left over fabric from Moon glow and cutting into very simple 5 in charms, them sewing those together!! I had so much trouble with moon glow and so little trouble with this one :) I'm calling this one Moon dust. It will have a black border, then a partial colorfull border in two corners finishing up with a black border.
