Off the Rack!

 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.


The Thousands Found top, was found in the stash

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.



It just seemed to be too green for  me, 

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.


It turned out to be quite dazzling.

It will be labeled,  2000 Colors.

A checked green back seemed just perfect as an 

homage to the history of its making.  




More finishes to follow!

The rack is looking lighter!



Stay safe and Sew On!
