already for binding

Got the teacher gifties finished yesterday. I made these last year too; love how quickly them come together and are just too cute.



Just have the binding to finish but there is lots of time yet for that. Last day of school isn't until the 17th! lol.

Up next? Three of these.


And this weekend; nothing but Christmas cards!

customized

Lately we've been getting more and more custom quilts which has been very fun. I've really enjoyed getting to play with rulers and block/border insets. I'm still not a template fan though.



Tilly brought in two Thangles quilt for us to do. Mom and I each did one and it was neat to see how different we quilted each quilt.


I decided to use Norma Sharp's Raindrop block set on 'my' quilt. I used two different block insets for the pieced and empty blocks but still kept them simple.




I used the 6 inch matching border in the borders; I'm getting really good at turning quilts and lining patterns up again lol. The whole quilt was also ditched; wow, that took forever!
I really love the corner triangles.


Head over to Mom's blog to see how she quilted her version.
