Here it is -all in one piece. The "skinny stripes" are the joining strips.
Oh that felt gooood!
You may remember the "Pink diamonds" piece I did for a demonstration. I decided to make it into a baby quilt or Lap quilt - the purchaser can decide on its final use. So I added some borders. Now you know that I didn't do "plain" as it is not my style. So here is what I did:
Oh, please ignore the bits of the kitchen peeking around the edges. When I was sewing those top and bottom borders, I kept saying "blue, yellow, pink, blue, yellow, pink" so I could keep them in order.
This is so bright and happy, that I would love to keep it. But, well, I have to sell some of the things I make or I couldn't afford to keep making them.
I still have at work to do. Gee, this has to be layered and quilted and bound. Back to the sewing machine for me.

You have been one busy person....What wonderful commision quilts, the owner will be sooo happy. Love your lap, baby...whatever you want it to be quilt.
Wow both are so pretty!!
How'd you hang the baby/lap quilt up??
Lovely...both of them...the pink diamond is so fun...very bright and appealing. =)
ah yes the quilters conundrum, keep or sell? I tell ya I almost cried when I finally mailed my first sold quilt. Right then I decided selling quilts is not for me, so I made up my mind to sell patterns instead!
Both quilts look very nice, Gene!
I know it's not your first choice of color, but your first photo of the commission quilt with more muted colors is lovely. Also love the skinny stripes! Very unique layout. I has your signature all over it in spite of the calmer colors.
Great quilts! Love those skinny stripes! Have seen them in Cotton Theory, but like them in a traditional setting! Dang, work does get in the way of so much, doesn't it? However, we do like those luxuries in life...electricity, indoor plumbing...and eating! ;-)))) Happy stitching!
you have been busy!
nice work gene!
I can so see a baby's room being decorated around that quilt!
I love the commisioned quilt...Very pretty! Your smaller quilt turned out so cute.
