I also finished putting together the 2 truck/tractor quilts and got the backs made too. Now they will go to the quilter on Saturday. I love the flannel backing I found....trucks and tractors in blue, green and yellow. I debated about putting a border on it but I think I like the non-border look. The binding will be the wavy lined blue and yellow fabric.
I also started putting the strip blocks together. Here are the first 4 done. I know, I was leaning towards blue and yellow but I have so many more red scraps than yellow so I decided to use it instead. I really like the bright look of it.
I need to get the binding sewn onto the flower quilt I made for my friend, Janine, also so I can have it ready to hand sew down tomorrow night.
I spent the morning with my quilting friends. I am always inspired by each of them. It is fun to see what they have been working on and the fabrics they use.
Happy Quilting! Lynda

Wow - great quilts and I love your string quilt - you are so talented!
The baby quilt turned out so great! I love the tractors too. I like all of them:) Glad you have your machine back so you won't be so bored:) You may need to bring it up when you come so you have something to do;)
I'm so happy for you, Lynda. When I read your headline I was guessing it just might be about your machine:-)
The quilts look great! I know what you mean about the stiffness of fusibles though; I'm not too fond of it myself. My solution has been that I draw larger pieces directly onto the back of the fabric using a template, and iron strips of fusible on the lines.
Yeah...Celebrate! You and Mr. Viking have a great weekend!
