Having a lot of quilt sandwiches made
has helped me finish up outstanding projects
by getting me to the quilting machine easier.
When I have a few hours free,
I can sit right down and start stitching.
Here is the first of many finishes.
Looking at my recent posts,
I see that a few finishes have snuck into other posts
but haven't really been highlighted.
So let's back up and look at these beauties.
Both appeared in a stash report earlier in the month.
of no longer quilting woman whose
fabric piles had gotten out of hand.
An exquisite piecer, each of the pyramids has beautiful points.
and the range of fabrics appear to span decades.
The quilting ran around each pyramid to maintain the classic shape.
Although smaller than my normal keeper quilts
that are usually queen sized,
this one will make a lovely addition to my cozy collection.
The second quilt that had a sneak peek
in the stash reporting post,
has a history too!
This quilt started out as a green and white 25 patch.
so it was put aside.
It was reimagined when I came across
a stack of leftover colour coded
"near postage stamp" blocks
from a guild turn of the century swap.
A checked green back seemed just perfect as an
homage to the history of its making.
Stay safe and Sew On!

Having tops on hand is a time-saver...and then to have them basted is another time-saver. Must make the quilting seem like a breeze. How nice of you to rescue/adopt the thousand pyramids! And you rescued the green/white patchdes very creatively.
ReplyDeleteI do love those pyramids! The green and white really turned out well too! Thank you!
DeleteYou're quilt names are so clever! Thanks for going back and featuring these. They are each so unique and beautiful. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

They are fun aren't ! I just love a good quilt rescue.
DeleteI thought the pic of that back was the front of a quilt. Fabulous colorblocks surrounding the green checks.
ReplyDeleteIt was so rewarding to have the color blocks in a quilt and it is fun to look at . Thank you for the great comment!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to add a colourful border to the green/white (part) quilt. It turned out so nice. I love it! Bravo! Thousand Found is a great quilt too. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteThank you ! They were very rewarding to finish!
DeleteBeautiful finishes Deb--I especially love that postage stamp one..so nice and scrappy....
ReplyDeleteHugs, Julierose
What fun!! I like that pyramids one - so scrappy!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a treasure. I went to visit one of my very senior quilting friends at a care facility and she recognized the name of the original sewer! The history of those pyramids just keeps growning!
DeleteYou've had some wonderful finishes this year. That pyramid quilt is just gorgeous! You found a beautiful way to finish off all those green blocks.
ReplyDeleteYay! They were fun!
