Guess what? I only have 13 more quilt tops & bottoms to make. I already have 15 quilts totally done, 7 quilts at the quilter's home waiting to be professionally quilted, two quilts waiting for binding, and four quilt tops and bottoms in the closet waiting to be transported to the quilter's home for quilting. So... that leaves a total of 13 left to make. I'm cautiously optimistic that I will finish them all by November.
Today I realized I'd counted one quilt for two grandkids. {That's not going to work.} I was going to make two very similar quilts for those two and ended up making one and counting it for both. Geesh. This is complicated. Anyway, I'm plugging away at these quilts that I'm making for grandkids and kids for Christmas 2017. This week I made four adult size throw/lap quilts {at least 55" x 65"}. Doing that many in that amount of time almost did me in. I'm taking next week off.
Today I completed Miss Ellie's quilt. I love it. Ellie's favorite colors are pink and purple, so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping she likes this red and pink quilt. When I saw this adorable floral fabric, it screamed "Ellie"...
That little floral print is seriously one of my favorite fabrics ever. I just love it. Ellie is a girl {almost 6 years old} who knows her own mind and is full of personality. She has three brothers, so this little one has learned to stand up for herself and be counted. I think this vibrant quilt has her name stamped all over it...
These quilts look small compared to the fence, but the fence is actually eight feet tall, so this one is plenty big for a six-year-old. It measure 45" x 55" finished.
I love this "Just Another Walk in the Woods" fabric that I built the quilt around...
The quilt also has sprinkles and lots of polka-dots.
For the back of the quilt I used more pink with a strip of the same fabrics I used on the front...
One more completed, and I'm loving this little quilt for my spunky granddaughter Ellie.
