This is the final completion for 2015 and the 5th quilt in the big project I have going.
This makes 20 completions for the year. Wow, I am so happy!
Without this blog and tracking my progress I don't think I would have remembered some of these completions.
Now on to more Scrapiness!

Completion #5 of the Big Project for 2015

I have another completion for 2015. This is the 5th quilt in the Big Project I have going on.

This is the mystery quilt from Bonnie Hunter last year.

Again I just barely got the mystery quilt finished before the next one starts.

I used the Whirly Gig pantogram with hot pink thread from Superior Threads.

This is a very busy quilt and does not show the quilting on the front but it looks pretty good on the back.

This is all for now. I will Keep on Scrappin!

A Completion for 2015

This is my next completion for 2015.

This quilt is another Jenny Doan quilt. It is called the Herringbone. I have completed this quilt!

Again the lighting is terrible outside because the skies are very cloudy.  We are getting rain right now as I took these pictures.  Just a sprinkle though.

This is the 4th quilt completed in this project I have going. I quilted it with the Baptist Fan Groovy Board I have for my HQ. I used a very khaki green thread from Superior Threads.This quilt is made almost entirely from recycled shirts. One from Grandpa Great and many from Umpa.

This quilt is already labeled and I just put it in the washing machine for its final stage of the process.

Yeah! Another quilt is done!

An Amazing Completion for 2015

I have another amazing completion for this year.

Today has been cloudy and overcast so the colors are not showing the full bold colors.

This quilt is the third quilt in the 21 quilt project. I used a white flat sheet for the backing.

This is another Jenny Doan from Missouri Star Quilt company quilt.

 l

It is called the Colorado quilt block. I used a white Superior Thread and quilted it with Fays Feathers. I have completed all the labels for the 21 quilts and I have the label already on this quilt.

These are big blocks and the quilt goes together very quickly. It is a wonderful looking quilt.
I have the next quilt on the HQ and I have it half quilted.but I will not be able to do any more quilting on it until the end of next week because I am leaving for the deer hunt tomorrow morning.

Another Completion for 2015

I have another completion for this year.

This is number 2 quilt in my big quilting project. It is called Chevron and is by Jenny Doan from Missouri Star Quilt company.

I used recycled shirts in the light rows and various others for the colored rows. The backing is a plaid flat sheet which I really like to use in these quilts.  Makes for the quilting to go very well and I don't have to piece it.  I used the Baptist Fan in the quilting and a varigated tan and cream thread from Superior Threads for the quilting.

I bound the quilt in various dark blue strips and over all it looks great.
I will keep on working on my big project. I have the next quilt top finished and have started the loading process. I should have something to show in a week or two.

A Beautiful Completion

I have a beautiful completion to show.

This is the first quilt in my big project. I have 21 quilts to make and I figure it will take 2-3 years to complete this project.

This is a Bonnie Hunter quilt called Floribunda. I used a very light yellow as the neutral.

This has every flowered fabric in my stash that was big enough to use. I used a light yellow flowered fabric for the backing.

I quilted it with Fays Feathers and a cream colored thread. The only thing this quilt needs is a label. I will be making all the labels at once and I plan to get them all made in the next few weeks.

I will Keep on Scrappin!

Bright N Lively Completion-2015

If I was a person to name my quilts I would name this quilt 'Bright N Lively' after the little grand daughter who will receive this quilt in January for her 3rd birthday.

I purchased this Jelly Roll off Missouri Quilt Company and was real excited to try this pattern. Personally this is not colors I would normally choose but they are certainly brightly colored.

I showed this picture a week or so ago when it was on the HQ ready for quilting.

This is now completely done except for a label.

I just need to make a label and attach it. I have until the end of the year to make that label.

I quilted it with Fays Feathers with hot pink thread.  The binding is lime green and the backing is a muted teal.

What a lovely completion for 2015. I will keep on Scrappin!

Quilt of Valor Completion-2015

I am happy to say that I have the final Quilt of Valor completed.

This quilt is exactly like the first Quilt of Valor I finished in May.

The star points on these stars were left over from my Smith Mountain quilt.that I made a couple of years ago.

I decided I needed to use up these points because they were already made and they would make a wonderful Quilt of Valor.

I backed this quilt with a light blue flannel with little stars.  I quilted it with the spiral squares pantogram. This quilt needs to be delivered across the street to my neighbor soon

I am so glad to have finished these quilts so I am now concentrating my energy and time on the big project I have going now.  This project consists of many quilts.

.I will keep on Scrappin!

Two More Completions

I have completed the two baby charity quilts that I had on the HQ.

These two quilt have the same main blocks with different spacer blocks.  The above one has green spacer blocks.

This one has white spacer blocks.  I used up the last of the fleece that I had bought a few years ago at a garage sale.

They are about 40 X 40 and I used the spiral squares pantogram. I think they will be very cuddly and will go as a boy or girl quilt.  Green and yellow are great for either boys or girls.

I will write about some more stuff going on in the Quilt Studio in another post.

Keep on Scrappin!

Grandson's Quilt is Done!

I have finished the quilt I was showing in the last post. All that is left is a label.

This is the first time I have made a fully pieced quilt for a grandson..Leif is the last grandson to get a quilt. He is the youngest grandson.

I didn't have the extra money to buy a center piece of fabric with matching borders this time.

I also just love this pattern. I have used it many times for a Quilt of Valor quilt.

The brown stars are left over from my Smith Mountain quilt and I think the orange rails look great.

This is all I have for this week. It has been a busy week!
