First finishes for 2015

I have had the tops done for my 3 LITTLE LETTERS baby quilts for a few weeks now..

The patterns are by Sheryl at 

http://temeculaquiltco.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/little-letters-finishing.html

Sheryl put out the patterns twice a week so I slowly followed along.

Today I quilted them all.

I tried a new quilting design that I have seen on some blogs lately. I had fun with it.

This is such a great quilt for a baby..

This pink one has an off centre spiral. It was done using only the foot spacing. It is quilted heavier than I normally do but I think it looks good.

This will be a present for a friend this month..

 You can't really see the green letters with this photo but they are pretty

I started the spirals small and moved out to a larger spacing. I am happy with it.

Here are all 3 hanging together.

And the backings were a great bargain. 2 were from Ballan when I was there on retreat. The other one  I have had for a while. They all have the alphabet on them so they were a perfect choice.

 

Next on today's list was some bags. My mum was giving these knitting Nancy kits to a family with 3 children. She wanted a bag to store all the pieces together with some wool.

A drawstring was used for ease.

Because there was 3 children I decided to make an extra work in progress bag for each of them. At telecast then they store there work all together without leaving a mess for their mum or losing anything.

I hope they are happy with them.
