One Quilt Top Started and Finished

Being the Route 66 fan that I am, I have many Route 66 themed fabrics and ideas for several quilts.  I am working on one quilt that has embroidered blocks - that will take a bit to finish.  I have another idea for one that will feature actual pictures I have taken along the Mother Road.  That one will take a bit to make.  And then there is the special one with the rusty old trucks along Route 66...and that one will take a bit to design. 

So two weekends ago, I got tired of having the "perfect" place on my living room wall for a Route 66 quilt wallhanging and decided to piece one.  I cut it out and started piecing it that weekend and finished piecing it this weekend.  And here it is ....



 

TaDa !!!  Done.  Finished.  Finally.  Oh crap, I still have to quilt it.  OK - almost finished.

My Wonky Modern Bday Cake Quilt

For each of my sisters' certain "significant" birthday, I made the sister a quilt (or two).  Mary was first - she received a small wallhanging of a birthday cake with stitch 'n flip roses (a la Jean Wells) as the cornerstones - and everyone who attended the party signed that quilt.  Then she also received a bigger throw size quilt with a Moon Over Mountain design (also a la Jean Wells - love her, so does Mary).  So, Mary returned the gesture and made me a small wallhanging of a birthday cake with Kaffe Fassett fabrics - it is wonky and modern and Kaffe - ahhhhh!  My family and friends have signed it, or soon will, then it will be quilted.  I love it !!!   Thanks and BBH to Mary !!!

Plan to publish more tomorrow since we are, once AGAIN, having a winter storm come in tonight!  Please, make it stop!!!
