Friday Finish and Cover Girl Quilt

This week I spent quite a bit of time quilting the project I shared a peek of in the previous post.  The good news is that my lines are getting straighter as I work my way out of the center of the quilt.  And thank you for the words of encouragement!

 I also finished the second Charlie Brown tree skirt:

The pattern is a modification of this one by Nite Owl Quilting.  I used the Peanuts Gang Stripe to make the outer border.  This changed the dimensions a little, making the tree skirt a little bigger overall.  Simple but effective.  And it makes my husband happy.

Another finished project from my First Year quilting is the Log Cabin I have posing with my kayak in my banner picture.  I chose this quilt for this honor as it was the first one I did without a pattern (how badly could I mess up a log cabin?).


Kasey loves my quilts too!




PS  Does Thanksgiving seem early to anyone else but me?  I am thankful I have a family that insists on the SAME menu each holiday...makes the prep so much easier!

I am linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts Finish It Up Friday!  Have a great weekend!

    1. Thanks! I brought pictures of my living room to the fabric store to help with the selection. I was a bit nervous about the contrasting colors...but seems to work!

  3. Okay, LOVE the tree skirt. What a great idea, using the "gang" fabric on the outside border. I'm thinking of getting that bundle to make some projects.

    And I adore your log cabin quilt. I've got a log cabin on my bucket list. Someday. When I make all the other gazillion quilts on that list!

    I'm with you on the Thanksgiving menu. Love that it's the same every year. So much easier!

  10. Hi Kathy, I am a year later to comment on this quilt but I am just visiting now (after you left a comment on my blog). I love this quilt - good choice for the blog header. Simple, but effective. Like the numbers print, quilting, the traditional red centre, everything!
