A couple of weeks ago I had a basting session with mum. She had a couple of quilts to do so between the 2 of us we should get a groove going & make the most of the time & place we got to use.
I did a couple of mine that day, these 2 cot quilt sized ones. I finally got around to quilting them last week. It didn't take long to do that really once I got started. I didn't even bother moving the machine to the dining table with my big quilt extension table.
The binding bit took a little bit longer as I only had small snippets of time to do any hand stitching. Saturday night saw the longest stretch of time in one sitting to do some. Sunday I got the second finished.
Yay. I am really pleased with them both. I love the top one. I seem to really like the Sweetwater fabrics... this is the range "Road 15". I should have taken a close up of my little hosues... can't see it so well. Darn... But lighting wasn't good today - very dull & grey...
Below is the Retromobilia fabric that I really like. Something different again. This is a good pattern. Only uses 9 fat quarters.
Both patterns are from the book "Growing Up Modern". There are a few more I would like to make from that one yet.
