And here's the back of the quilt: I happened to have a length of blue with white stars that I added a big of light grey to. I found an old piece of gold Marbles that wasn't particularly wide but was quite long. I'm thinking it might have been used for a border at some time. I was happy to be able to use it for the binding.
And quilt #2 -- navy blue and beige pinwheels.
And, the back this one which was one length of fabric. A friend gave me the fabric a while ago when she found out I make QOV quilts. This one will go to a nursing home since it is so small -- about 36" square. I was tickled to find some red and black check for the binding.
For those who read of my dilemma last week, I still haven't found the flower wall hanging -- neither the back or flowers, leaves and stems that are already to be sewn on! Argh. I may start panicking one day soon. I've looked in all the places I thought I might have put it! Do I want to mention I also can't find my fine line chalk pencil too? EEKS!
Here's the goals from last week. Not bad.

I'm linking up with my favorite Monday linky parties: Monday Making, Main Crush Monday and Moving It Forward. Take some time to visit a few of the posts. I am always so inspired after looking at several posts. On the other hand I also seem to have a longer list of what I'd like to do some day.
Happy Quilting All, Bonnie
I really like those quilts! and.... it's in the fridgerator, under the salad.... yep... that's where all my pens end up.... maybe yours are siblings to mine ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh no, I hope the missing project is soon found.
ReplyDeleteVery nice finishes on those pinwheels! The flag fabric works really well as a backing. Sometimes a design like that can be hard to use in blocks, probably because the RWB color scheme already has so much contrast.
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding your project!
Pretty quilts and I love the binding and the backing your picked for them. I hope you find your missing project soon.
