Fig Tree is done and ready to be enjoyed!! I think it looks pretty laying on the grass with the colorful leaves.
I quilted it with orange silk thread on the front and Aurifil orange thread on the back.
I also finished the 25 patch rainbow quilt I made last February and got it out of the to-do pile and into the done.
My to-do pile is really small now! I feel far less overwhelmed and more ready to tackle the Summer Moon BOM, the Zuma Shimmer quilt and maybe start a Christmas quilt out of Vintage Holiday now that Christmas is around the corner!
How are you all doing with your to-do projects?
So pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your 25 patch rainbow!! I think I’ll organize my overflowing 2.5” box into colors and do the same thing! Do you have a system to do so? I just pitch them in the box. Would be nice to reduce at least one pile. Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes - love the quilting you did on both. The Fig Tree quilt fits so perfectly for Fall - and the gorgeous backing - love it, and your Rainbow quilt - so beautiful. Perfect patterns that omit needing background fabrics to make them. I've really tried to tackle my older fabrics and scrap baskets - and am amazed at how all those areas and baskets seem to fill up again, faster than I emptied them. Your quilts have given me new motivation to keep going - thanks, Amy!
ReplyDeleteAwesome finishes. I have been pulling BOM and working on them.....there is a reason why some of them are a BOM there are so many intricacies that it takes a month to finish it. LOL
ReplyDeleteuhm... drowning.
ReplyDeleteOh and distracted.
I hope to get some sewing done today. I want to finish my nutty quilt so I can make a few Christmas presents for people I love... they are begging for handmade stuff... so I better get moving.
I love these two perfect finishes. They are beautiful.
What great finishes Amy.
ReplyDeleteThe Summer Moon looks like a lot of fun.
Love and Hugs

You are right the Fig Tree quilt looks so pretty with the leaves. Isn't a disappearing nine patch so much fun to sew? You have such lovely projects to complete. I can't wait to see them progress and become quilts.
ReplyDeleteI really like the rainbow quilt (brights are my colors). I'm going way too slow on my projects.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt and the quilting you did. I have charm packs that will have to become a disappearing nine patch quilt soon.
