Mixed-up Split is all done. I finished the quilt on Monday and passed it on for binding on Tuesday. One of the other ladies took it in hand, and finished it up. Once it was all done, it actually didn't look too bad. It is amazing how it can come together in the end, though it still won't be in my list of favorites. :-) I accidentally had my iPhone camera on video when getting a picture on Tuesday, so will have to try again and put it in the next post, hopefully.
Next up is a top that was put together by a couple of ladies in my group, one of whom passed away last October after battling ovarian cancer for a number of years. The plan is to finish up the quilt by next month and then present it to her mother. This quilt is actually one of my group favorites. The colors and the design work well together. Presenting Midnight Garden:
The quilting has already been started by a couple of the ladies. The pieced blocks have a meandering design which I repeated in the rectangle sections of the border. I will be doing the four center pink blocks, and the four purple squares in the corners of the border. My hope is to get it finished by next Tuesday and then pass it on for binding.
If I am successful with that plan, then I will nab this little quilt that one of our ladies found stuffed in a cabinet at her church. It is a simple design, but an effective use of the colors. The sashing between the rows offers the opportunity to do a bit of "fancy" work.
And last but not least, I am two-thirds of the way done with the blocks for Painted Desert. It is going to be an intensely bright top and a lot of fun to quilt. Bet you can't wait to see it! ;-)
