Quilt#5 Done, YAY!

I wasn't too sure about the all over leaf pattern on this one but once I bound it and washed it I really love it. I think washing it really helped the quilting show up better and you can see the leaves really well. 

After taking all the photos for the quilts I think I need to jazz up the backs more. Give them a little something something. We shall see.

Grey ZigZag (Quilt #2) Delightfully Done

This grey zig zag quilt has been my favorite one through all five quilts. I just love the colors and the quilt design and the quilting. Definitely my style.

Aside from losing a quilt block (which I found under my bed) this quilt was a breeze. I'll definitely use this design again if I ever need to make up a quick quilt for someone.

Purple & Green Windows (Quilt#1) complete

Since this was the first quilt I started piecing there's not a lot I have to say about this one. It was sort of a learning quilt. Learning that 1/4" seams are something to really strive fore. I'm still learning. 

I am really please with the way it turned out even though the backing did bleed a little on a couple of the white fabrics on the front when I washed it, which is a little annoying since I washed and dried the flannel 3 times before I put them together, but oh well. Since the flannel is SO soft I'll forgive it.
Hopefully my cousin will love it.

Brick (Quilt #4) Bound & Beautiful

Once again a rush of euphoria. I think finishing a quilt is my new drug of choice. ;)

This quilt gave me a run for my money, but I powered through and am really please with how it turned out. The blue background doesn't quite go with the front but I purchased it back when I had a slightly different quilt design in mind and once I changed the quilt design I didn't think it mattered that much that I needed to buy more fabric. It's how it feels that matters more and since its snuggle flannel if feels lovely.

Blue Zig Zag (Quilt#3) is DONE!

I did the binding on Quilt #4 first out of all five quilts because it has the busiest patterned fabric and since this was the first time I've ever bound a quilt I figured I should start with one where my mistakes wouldn't show quite so bad.

When I finished this quilt I had the biggest rush of excitement! It felt SO wonderful to have it completed and well in advance of Christmas. Such a sense of accomplishment. Binding might be my favorite part of making quilts. Maybe because once that's done, you have a finished quilt all ready to wash, dry and snuggle. A quilt fresh out of the dryer by the way is heaven. Especially one you've made yourself.
