We had multiple projects come to a finish yesterday. We have found over the past few years that the quilts we have a hard time keeping up with are those that are needed by men, especially men who are/were very outdoors orientated. So we try to keep some outdoors themed quilts on hand. Most of the time, as soon as we have one of them done, it is gifted out. So our focus lately has been to get more of them done. We also have found that they are the ones that do well for selling as fund raisers. We finished 2 tops and their backings yesterday that will fit either of those uses. 
We’ll get them layered next week.
We have a couple more of these beautiful animal panels to do. The Star Trek quilt is fully finished, with a fun star themed binding. 
And then Janet found a partially finished baby quilt in our to-be-worked-on pile and added a couple of borders and then did the quilting to finish it. 
The borders took it from “meh” to wonderful.
I’ll link up to Finish, or not, Friday
The creative borders added to the panel quilt are unexpected and make the quilt special. Yes, there are never enough "male" quilts for teens or men.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Gwyned said about the borders. Wow! The Trekkie quilt is very fun!! Hope you are doing well, Cathy! :)
