Finish #2 is a hard one to photograph. Do you remember the quilt in this post? I finished it. Yay! It is quilted and bound and labeled. I don't have a picture of the completed one because it is so big and heavy I am not quite sure how to proceed. It is a king sized quilt that I named "Savannah" because as I was working on the top I was listening to Tommy Bolin's Savannah Woman. Please note that the preceding is two different links. You can listen to Savannah Woman at last.fm. Click on the square button in the "radio" in the upper right corner.
Finish #3 is the Homespun BOM that I've been putting before you for the last year. Pictures? Yep got them. I put the 12" blocks on one side of the quilt and the 6" blocks on the back of the quilt. The same borders are replicated on both sides of the quilt. I just added a very, very large outer border on the back side. Maybe I should count this as finish #3 AND #4. Does that work? *smile*
The large 12" block side I named "Helen" and the other side is "Baby Hannah" so the whole quilt is called "Helen and Baby Hannah". This poor quilt has been quilted twice. The LA quilter made a very massive mistake and had to rip out ALL the quilting and redo it. It did make the edge a bit frayed but I just trimmed it off and made the outer border a bit smaller.
Congrats on the finish! They used to use only female names in naming hurricanes -- guess you went to those because you were quilting up a storm? (Sorry, couldn't resist!)
ReplyDeletewell done on finishing the quilts. They are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm a deep Purple fan so nice to see Tommy is still appreciated.

What a cool idea to give women's names to your quilts. sort of like hurricanes in the old days, but not :-)
ReplyDeleteLove how homey and vintagey that one looks.
It's lovely - I love the log cabin setting. Congratulations on a great finish.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your finishes! They are all gorgeous. Also congrats on winning the FQs. I like the collection.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea for the front and back...and who's to say the back can't be the front, right?! Glad that you were able to make lemonade out of your lemons! ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is even more gorgeous than I imagined!!!! I love the way you put the little one on the back. That is so clever!
ReplyDeleteLovely idea to use women's names. I like that quilts have names, but often don't feel highly creative and can't come up with "zingers". But the idea of name is very nice. I'll give it a try.

I like the quilting up a storm idea behind the names, too. This is a lovely, charming quilt, Paula. Very nice. PS: I found a little something in my mailbox today. I think you might know who sent it. :)
ReplyDeleteRipping out quilting?! Sounds absolutely dreadful.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it still turned out to be a lovely project. ~ksp
Love the Homespun Helan and baby Hannah! So warm and cuddly looking. I see you have Library Thing also. I clicked on your library and it said we had 8 books in common, pretty neat!
ReplyDeleteFeels so good to finish up things on a UFO hey! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are wonderful!
Happy stitchings!
I absolutely love it . . . you clever girl! To use the small version as the back. And the names are just perfect.
ReplyDeleteWell, you clever girl you, on that Homespun! What a creative solution to a variety of blocks, yet they all weave together so nicely. Hey, I WANT that one! In fact, I'm getting ready for a retreat in a few weeks - maybe THAT's the pattern/type I should work on.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your finishes! The quilt is beautiful!
