First up the Log cabin Homespun Quilt.. I’m 5’3″ and am holding up each quilt..so you can see  the size of the quilt .. covers nicely for a lap quilt.   Fabrics are from Wal-Mart 2011 July purchase.  It’s quilted Straight Line in black thread, which disappears nicely.    80/20 cotton batting.

Back: is all fat quarters made of Home Spun.. colors are off since these are red, brown  & black checks.. DD2 used her Cell phone to snap these inside with poor lighting-the flash didn’t help.   

Next comes the Tumbling block quilt..made mostly with 2 charm Packs called Bittersweet by Moda which I purchased @ MSQ (missouri Quilt Company.com)    Borders & sashing fabric is what I had in my stash and probly remanents from Wally World..   A nice size Crib or Lap Quilt using 2 of those Charm packs, Gold & orangie red sashing/ Gold binding.   80/20 cotton batting..Quilted with Muted Red Thread  .    Again the colors are a bit off from DD’s Cell Phone & poor lighting inside.   I used a decorative stitch since I have trouble doing a straight line (even with painters tape)        

Very soft and cozy for the coming Winter  and lounging in the front room..esp movie nights!!  Now just one more addition..a sleeve to possible hang these up??   Yeah, that’s a later on, someday project.  I just labeled with a perm pen..
