This is the first thing I finished. I will have to look back and see what magazine this quilt was from. I started it a year ago and it was a challenge. The white pieces are Y-Seams. I had never done Y-Seams before and they were very intimidating. I put it in the "Naughty Box" and ignored it for probably a year. I knew I wanted to get it done though so I pulled it out. My friend helped me with that technique but I was still struggling. I finally figured out my diamonds in the middle (the multi-colored ones) weren't cut to the right size. They were too big. Once I cut them down to the right size it was on!! Like Donkey Kong! See my feet at the bottom of the picture for size comparison.
Then I made 10 secret projects. They are all the same and they are a secret! I am gifting them tonight and then I can post pictures!!!
That put me at 11 Finished Projects! That's amazing! It felt great to get stuff done!
Then I tackled putting a border on my off center log cabin quilt! This is a beautiful log cabin quilt that I created with all fabric scraps. I collected most of the fabric from my thrift shop adventures!! The border is even from the thrift shop! I love the challenge of finding good fabric!! I had very specific colors I was looking for and I'm thrilled with how it came out!!
I have one more finish to share but I'm going to save that for tomorrow. I can't give you all the good stuff in one day!
