garage sale weekend

I thought I'd be back blogging sooner and forgot about my garage sale. It's going on right now and a little slow today but that's okay.
On Tuesday and Wednesday I did garage sale tagging and stippling on this quilt so that I had binding to do during the garage sale. I finished the binding this morning and then washed it and then took pictures!!!
I really love the backing!!! It's a twin size. I don't have a girl and I like a bigger quilt for a lap size.:) My husband doesn't know what to do with me making all these quilts.:) They do keep you warm on a cold day though.:)
I used a blueish striped fabric for the binding. I really love how it turned out!! So even though I am having a garage sale I'm still managing to get some quilting in!!:) Hope you have a great weekend.

    Very pretty!! I love the bright colors. The backing is perfect! Did you use charm squares, or is this your 'stash' at work?

    so pretty!
    my husband doesn't know what to do with me making so many quilts either. i think he just looks at the growing stack and wonders what the heck we're going to do with all of them!

    I LOVE the back too! Of course the front is awesome!! Is that just charm packs on the front?? I wanted to make a Oh, Cherry, Oh! quilt, and this one looks great. Maybe I can copy yours? Is there a tutorial available for us "beginers"?

    It looks wonderful - I did the same thing! I'm helping my mom with a garage sale tomorrow and I made sure my mini quilt was bound and ready to go.

    Very cute! I love the material that you used. It is all so cute. Good luck with the garage sale. Wish we were closer, I'd stop by. I'm a sucker for garage sales. :)

    I love the girly quilt and when you don't have girls, you make them for yourself! I have a girl, but she doesn't like girly colors, so I have to make them for me too!

    I LOVE the back on that one too. I do have two girls, but I have five boys, so I really should mostly be making boyish quilts. But I don't. I gravitate toward the girly stuff more. I love that Oh, Cherry, Oh stuff. So fun.

    Heather this is such a lovely quilt. The front and back are equally beautiful. I love classic square/rectangle patchwork - it's so 1930's. Well done!

    Wow, wow and wow! And I only have one that is unfinished from the late l960s. You have talent, imagination and a great color sense. You should consider oil painting! This is your aunt speaking--congratulations on your beautiful work.
