A few finishes.....

I want to thank all of you for the kind comments on my last post.  I have been working on a few things - it's time to show you those......

The kids and I made a trip to Colorado in March,  for my nephew's wedding.  Kind of a windy day, but here is the quilt I gave them for a wedding gift.


Later in March, Julie and I took a class, we were pattern testers for Terry Atkinson.  Here is the top for the quilt pattern we tested.  It's called Wanderlust.  It's at the quilters now.


I also got this top pieced, it's a Pieced Tree Pattern called Jelly Jive.  
It uses one Jelly Roll, 
or 40 2 1/2 inch strips.  It's also at the quilter now.......


I planted some flowers.....


And finished the "Growing Up Odd" Quilt.  Great tutorial - just follow the link!

I mainly strip pieced it, and I used 1 1/2 inch strips, rather then 2 inch. 
 I'm keeping this one!

This is my little "cheater" quilt.  Tutorial found here.  It didn't say how much fabric to buy......If I make one again, I will buy more, so the side borders can be wider.  I bought what was left on the bolt, which if I remember correctly was a yard and a third.  

Here's the other side.....

Linking up to Finish It Up Friday.
Oh, and one more quilt at the quilter........ that makes 3 that should be done soon!

I love all these quilts! My favorite is that wedding quilt! My arrows are still in a bag from that day at the class. Someday I'll get it out again. Then I see a pink theme. Such cheery stuff.

Your Growing Up Odd quilt is wonderful! I would keep it, too. In fact, the original is on the bed in my guest room right now. Well done!

I love the arrow quilt. That must have been fun being a tester for the pattern.

I LOVE your colorful, scrappy, happy, fun quilts. I see a "Growing Up Odd" colorful quilt in my future.
