TWO FINISHES!

This first one is a baby "play" quilt for my great nephew who was born in February.  I had the fabric on hand, so I didn't need to buy anything to get this finished.


Here's a close-up of the truck stop.  Eventually, this baby will be able to drive his toy cars on the quilt.


This next one is a UFO and I started it a few years ago when Barrister's Block had a sew-along.   I had about half of the blocks made, so it wasn't too hard to finish it.  As you can see, this is a raw edge quilt that ravels when washing.  I put it through the wash cycle 2 times,  I've never made one of these quilts before.


Here's a close-up of my quilting and the raw edges.  First, I stitched in the ditch and then added a circle around the bullseyes with a leaf shape in each corner.


I decided to quilt feathers in the borders.  After a while of just feathers, I decided to put a few fancier squiggles and it was pretty easy to do.


Thanks for visiting!
