A May Finish and Some Starts

Life has been busy, so I never had time to take the photo for the finished Cars Quilt.    Today I finally had time and took that photo to share with you.   

Today the sun was really too bright for a good outdoor shot, so I took this in the shade of my carport.  

The main parts of the quilt are simply done in a meander quilting. However, the blue horizontal sashing and cornerstones are each done in a different pattern.  That was just as a way to break it up for me. The red borders are done with organic lines that somewhat mimic the edges of the quilt.  I also used a red binding as it blends perfectly with the front and back.  I forgot to get a pic of the back -oops!  I promise that it looks great.

Meanwhile,  I played with some Mistyfuse backed fabric and did some wild fabric collage.  Here are two pieces of it. 

The one on the left you will see again, although what I did with it may surprise you. 

The gallery has sold several of my notebooks. I was informed that they would like to have some more while the June exhibit is running. So I have been working as fast as I can on getting those made.  I have four "tops" made, as well as some of the other parts pre-assembled.  The batting needs to be cut and all of them will need to be quilted before assembly.  But, my goal is to get four more "tops" made first  so that I can sit and quilt them all.  Then I can do the assembly all at once.   

With any luck, I will sell most of them in the gallery. 

Until Next Time,
