SOME FINISHED WORK

Here are pictures of the completely finished yellow brick road quilt that I completed a week or so ago.  First the front

and then the back.  I really like pieced backs.  I think they add a lot of interest to quilts.

It turned out really well.

I decided to try one of the kits I got from Connecting Threads a while back so I made this table topper.  It was an easy 1 day project -- except that too many interruptions made it take a little longer but I really thought it turned out cute.  I practiced some freestyle quilting on this.  Did something different in each of the different sections.  I'm not sure I have piecing triangles down pat but  it was a fun project and I put it on my table (which is badly in need of refinishing --- but that's another job for another year month day )

And finally, I finished the sock monkey quilt top.  I did discover that the  wide border fabric was not on grain(?).  If I had cut it on grain the monkeys would not have been straight so I cheated a little.

Still need to sandwich it and quilt it.  Can't quite decide what to back it with.  I'm kind of hoping I can find some nice muslin at Jo Ann fabrics and use my 50% off coupon on a bolt so I can have backing for several quilts to come.

Tomorrow  (or I guess I should say later today)  I will have to do my "homework" for my Thursday sewing class but it won't take long and then I'll do some more of something...... not sure what.
