2011 Quilts

Note to viewers: I consider a quilt top as a finish. I plan to get these tops quilted eventually, but for now my priority is making quilt tops. I understand that many quilters would never consider an unquilted top as a finish, so I wanted to clarify.

Prom Dress for DD Emma; finished April 25 (or therabouts)


May was to become the month for accessorizing. I needed to get my porch ready for Emma's graduation party and for the bridal shower two weeks later for a dear friend's daughter. In addition, the family room was really lacking in comfortable throw pillows, so I made accessories to coordinate in that room, too.

I'm calling this one Vincent. There's a story behind this quilt. See post for that. Cut out the blocks for the 4-patches on Sat., August 13 and finished the borders on Sat., August 20. One week. It was really easy; I should have finished it more quickly; it was the week we finished the Historical Society Book, so that took a lot of my available time.
