Auto Pilot


So, yeah, I've been on total auto pilot lately... I did actually get groceries this week!~ My family is thrilled... yippeee! food!

So, I am trying to get most of this stuff done for xmas gifts, which is why it seems things are flying out of here... this red and gray one I did last week,
I used up every bit of scraps I could for the back....( trying to not by more fabric...yeah right)
I like how the back turned out... I even left in the salvage for the white line. I figured it worked with the quilt...
and quilted it on the machine, I think I have finally worked out the kinks on my machine... Although I am amazed at how people can do such a beautiful job machine quilting... My stitches are all over the place...

But I am hoping with time, or either I slow down, maybe they will get better...

The quilt on the Left is the one B. designed. I am finally getting that one together, planned pieced quilts make me crazy... I fly better by the seat of my pants...

She is so excited to see it finished. I had to wait for my mother to go to my secret fabric shop in MN, to get me 26 yards of white fabric for a next to nothing price... and then ship it to me... Now I can finish the white border,and get that backing on. B. wants to give it to her 'one and only' cousin for xmas. How can I not get it done?


The one on the right, I just put together last Friday at the end of a day where I got not much of anything else done... I had these cute fabrics, and the Wood grain fabric by dewberry... I love it! Had to do it... I used up all scrap brown to fill it in... but still need to throw a border around the outside, probably more brown scraps...


I'm thinking this one will be better for someone's xmas gift than a different quilt I already made... oh well. Gotta keep them guessing in case they're reading along...

  2. Love all of the quilts that you showed. I really like the x one and the circle one. And yes, with practice, your machine quilting stitches will get better - although they looked great to me!
