Flying Geese UFO top DONE

I finished this top a few weeks ago and just needed someone to hold it so a picture could be taken of it. This fabric is what was left over from the wedding double wedding ring quilt I made when Jen and Mike were married. I had gone to Arizona to visit my sister and of course to pick up this fabric. I wasn't sure at the time what quilt I was going to make so I bought alot of each one. One queen sized quilt made and still I had lots left over. Then I did my bedroom in Southwestern and decided to make myself a quilt for my bed. It got many starts but never a finish until now. Now that the top is finished it will have to wait a little longer until I make the backing for it. Again I'm using the same prints to piece together the back and then I'm finally done with that fabric. I can't wait to use it on my bed.

You can see a little bit of the double wedding ring on the right side of the quilt I'm holding. I just happened to notice that. When it's done I think I need a picture with the two quilts together.

No finishes but lots getting done

I wanted to stop in to let everyone know I'm still sewing up a storm. In the last week I made one quilt top from Turning Twenty Again. All it needs are it's borders and then the quilting and binding done. I picked up the border fabric yesterday now I just need to put it on. I also have been working really hard on one of my UFO's. This is ready to have the backing pieced and then I can put it on the frame and quilt away. I have the bindings made already for both quilts. I just keep on sewing as if I'm obsessed. The next project up is a scrap quilt which will be a first for me. As soon as I get the cutting directions I'm ready to cut and start piecing.

The picture is of the UFO done completely in Southwestern fabrics. I bought this fabric 10 years ago while on a trip to Arizona to visit my sister Karen. Jen and Mike were engaged and I knew I wanted to make them a quilt for a wedding present. They both liked Southwestern colors so I chose these to make an unconventional double wedding ring quilt. I had purchsed so much fabric that not only did I make the wedding quilt but I had tons left over. It sat in my stash for years and since my bedroom has a somewhat Southwestern theme I decided to use it for my quilt. The flying geese panels had been made and just sitting so the other night I dug it all out and didn't go to bed until the top was finished. I promise a picture when it's completed with quilting and it's binding attatched.
