a tote....finally

About 8 months ago I made this quilt for one of my sister-in-laws (I have 4). I didn't make her a bag to go with it though. (which was my thing at the time.) A quilt in a bag.:) So she and I had a joke about it and today I made her one.
I used scraps from her fabric so in case she wanted to carry the quilt in it she could. She thinks I'm crazy to think that she would ever put the quilt on the ground. She says it's way to nice. Bless her for saying that. Now I don't have to send it because my mother-in-law will deliver it for me. Tomorrow they leave. I'm very sad to have them go but we will see them in August.:)

I finally have my last quilt laid out!!!!!! I have one pinned and ready to go but that graduation isn't until the end of June so I put it on hold to do the ones that are coming up. I hope to finish this one and the other one by the end of this month. Unless I sub a lot I should be able to do it no problem. I am participating in the spring to finish even though I don't have the little button on my sidebar thing and even though the person doing it doesn't know it. I'm just trying to finish all the projects I have started before starting a new one.
I feel like it's been sooooo long since my last post so I sure did talk(write) a lot. Hope you have a GREAT day. It sure is pretty here. Hope it's nice by you!:)

  5. I love both quilts, and the bag is cute! The blue and green is more my sort of colors, but the graphic quality of the red, gray & black is eye catching. Great job!

  10. I can hardly wait to see pics of all the graduation quilts! I, too, and getting kind of tired of finishing up all my projects, but I think I'm finally done, and 2 months is enough. I'm ready to start making a pile of projects in progress with no deadlines :)
