The last quilt for Erin's wedding is finished!

I finished the last quilt for my oldest daughter's wedding!  It is 42.5" x 50" and is a scrappy quilt.  It was fun to make and it was the first one that I started.  The one drawback to piecing this quilt was making sure that the points were accurate.  I should've placed a small amount of sashing around each block so that the points do not have to be so accurate.

Erin will be giving the quilts away at the conclusion of the reception.  They were very fast to make.  I enjoyed this process because of the size of the quilts and the "Anchor/Sailing" theme.

One more Quilt is Finished!

The third quilt is finished.  I had to work all week (CAASPP testing and subbing in the attendance office) so I did not have time to finish the fourth quilt!  I will finish it this weekend.


This is the third quilt and it's named "Stars."

This is the "Ripples" Quilt.

I finally finished the binding

and placed label in the lower

left corner.

This is the back of the quilt.  

I did not buy enough fabric so

I had to add these 12" stars.

The stars added some interest 

to the back of the quilt.

The name of this quilt is "Anchors."

Anchors is the theme of the wedding.

I was afraid that I did not have enough time

to finish the quilts before the wedding.

I decided to make large blocks hence the 

two quilts shown here.

Erin's husband to be, August is an 

experienced sailor thus the anchor/sailing theme.

I made the quilts a bit larger then I had

anticipated.  I had to add the stars to the

back of the quilt to accommodate my

small purchases.

By the way, the quilting was done by Tracy Palumbo.
I will complete the remainder of the quilts, labels and
binding in the next few days.  I am scheduled to work
at our local high school next week.  I will publish the 
two quilts when I finish.

The quilts for the wedding are finally done!

The first quilt that I finished is called the "Scrappy Stars."  It is 42.5" x 50" and was so fun to sew together.  Tracy Palumbo is the quilter and she used white thread on this quilt.

The second quilt that I finished is called "Stars."  I just made star blocks and added a border.  It is 47" x 47" square.  White thread was used to quilt this.

This is the fabric used to back this quilt.

 The third quilt is the "Ripple Quilt."  It is 36" x 41" and quilted with red thread.

You can see the red thread used.

I did not buy enough fabric to back this quilt.  I added three stars to make up for the fabric that I did not purchase.

This is the fabric used to back the "Ripple" Quilt.

 The final quilt is the "Anchor Border Quilt."  The quilt is 41" x 48."

This quilt was made with half square triangles.

You can see the blue thread used to join the three layers together.

This is the back.  Again,  I did not purchase enough fabric and added stars to it.

I have to trim the fabric and bind the quilts now.  I am so happy that I will have two weeks to add the binding.  As I stated previously, Erin will give the four quilts away to those people who help at the wedding.  I hope they like them!  Ooops!  I just remembered that I had better put labels on these quilts.  I had better stop and print the labels and sew on the binding.
