of last year's Davies Manor Mystery Quilt
plus a tablerunner,
I still had pieces and parts leftover.
So I made a crib quilt to become
a sometime-in-the-future gift.
The Grape Pansy Caper Part III
was quilted by my friend Chris Ballard.
(she was testing out a new design
and we would both rather practice
on a real quilt v. a muslin sandwich)
Much better than having those leftovers
languish in the scrap bins!
I had also pieced this top
as another sometime-in-the-future gift.
Chris practiced another new-to-her design on this one.
The backing describes "The Perfect Treehouse"
with diagrams, text, and directions.
Again, I'm glad these leftovers were turned into
something wonderful and useful.

I have no idea when or to whom
these two quilts will be gifted,
but they are finished and that makes me happy.

Finishes is always good, like money in the bank. You continually amaze me with how much you get done and how well.
Bright and happy quilts. And a good feeling from using bits and pieces plus finishing! Nicely done.
So nice to know that when the time comes that they're needed, you'll have them ready to go. And someone will love them.
Congratulations!
The colors are energizing, they'll make some little one happy.
Two wonderful quilts from scraps. They are always my favorite kind.
Lovely to have these two finished up and ready to gift!:)
I try to keep a couple ready for new little ones, too. These are fun and adorable. I love that you've used scraps.
What size are these two fun quilts?
