I joined another quilt exchange with some friends. There are 12 of us and each gets a month and everyone makes a block for them during their month using fabrics you pick and rules you set. I got the month of October and so of course I had to do a Halloween quilt. This is what I got back. (I am missing one in the picture, but I will post each of the block individually later so you can get a closer look). I am really excited to put these together to make a fun quilt. Stay tuned for a completed quilt soon. The one I made is the spider web pattern (bottom right).
Here is my latest quilt. I made it with my turkeys and leaves from my quilt block exchanges. My mom quilted it for me and did a beautiful job. Now I have to wait until next November to hang it up.
My family room colors are brown and blue and when I saw these fabrics I was with my friend Chanel. She pretty much forced my to buy them, but I am glad she did. Here is my finished quilt that lays over the arm of my couch. Oh, and check out my curtains. My mom and I just finished them.
My friend Chanel knows me well. She called me the other day and told me that she wanted to motivate me to finish my patriotic house quilt (this was a block exchange we did together with some of our other friends). She told me that she was already quilting hers, so I had to get busy to finish before her. Well, I finished it today, but I haven't heard if I beat her yet. I am excited to hang it up for Memorial day and it will stay up for 4th of July and Chanel knows it will probably be up until Halloween. I still haven't taken down my St. Patrick's Day garland, now I'm embarrassed so I'll do it tonight. By the way Chanel, it is quilter, bound, and labeled.
