What was that I said?
about the next quilt being for me?? Ain't going to happen. The next two are for dear friends. I guess I could at least say they are ufo's that are going out the door LOL!. Ah me, and this one I am going to post (that I finished a couple of weeks ago) is a philanthropy quilt.
I tried something different for the quilting part since it was 61 by 68. I used the fusible batting. I sewed the center together and then marked the center of the back, batting and top and fused it. Then I quilted the center. It was easier to do with out the borders. Then I sewed the inner borders with the flip and sew method. I then sewed one of the side borders on, flipped it and fused it and then quilted it. These had to be done as partial seams because of the way they had to be pieced, but the quilting was easier as I could just concentrate on the one border. It was easier to quilt than I expected, doing it this way, and I may do another that way to reduce the bulk of the quilt I have to work with.
This quilt is going to a hospital in San Diego for a wounded soldier. The color is off in the picture as I had to take it inside and the quilt was too close to the kitchen light, but it gives you the idea. 
Oh and yes, I've added some more books to my bookshelf.
