Summer Projects

My summer goal was to produce two full size quilts. 
The summer is over and the quilts are completed. 
As you can see they are very different.
Enjoy!


Project number one:


 This is a planned High School graduation gift
and will most likely be presented early.  


A close-up--notice the swirling stitching.

Another shot showing the borders.

Project number two:


This is a planned wedding quilt
and most likely will not be presented early.

Calculations

I recently organized photos in my computer and decided to try to calculate the number of quilts I have completed since I started to take photos of each.  It appears that to date I have finished 10 baby quilts (not counting cheater quilts), 13 throw size quilts (including three child size sleeping bags and three wall hangings), 10 full size quilts, and one King size quilt. 

Each baby quilt requires approximately 8 yards of fabric.  Each full size quilt requires approximately 20 yards of fabric.  That is a lot of fabric!  As the saying goes, "It is a labor of love."
