Quilt Tops

I've now got two quilt tops almost completed. (and I've already picked out the backing fabric for the Churn Dash, bright black and white top). When finished, I think both quilts will have an additional fairly narrow border. Neither of these two have real names yet. I kind of like the idea of calling the quilt with all that colour -- Black and White, but...

Black and White or Bright Churn Dash Quilt

Churn Dash -- Bright

Although I have the black and white backing fabric for this quilt, it will take a bit of work. The quilt is a bit wider than the fabric and so I am going to insert a bright section, including some of the colours used on the front of the quilt.

Because of a mental slippage, I accidentally made two, too many blocks, so I have started a second quilt using the Churn Dash block in brights and black and white. (And shockingly enough I have the backing fabric for this quilt as well. I saw it and it struck me as absolutely perfect.)

I think I am off to start the process of adding the borders.

Sisters VII

I really should get this show on the road and post a larger collection of Sisters' images but I still haven't finished cropping them so...

But here are a couple more.

Red!

I really wish I had gotten a picture of that red and grey quilt at the left of the image. I'm still working on my red and grey piece and I am sure I'll be doing another in the near future and I would just love to see that quilt a little better.

Sisters VI


A few more quilts from Sisters 2010. I believe these are the products of a quilting workshop.

Sisters IV


Although they were not 100% successful, for the most part I was impressed by how well the quilts hanging on any given wall or area complimented one another. I guess with well over 1000 quilts they had plenty to chose from and plenty to be buried under as well -- overall I was impressed.
