Missy's quilt

Hi friends!
Beautiful day!
Missy's quilt went from this
To this!!!!
A couple of more rows and it will be just the right size!
I had though about just putting on a border but I think I will do the whole think like this.
Bought a sheet to back it with this morning.
Hopefully I will finish it before the end of the month.
Have a great day friends!

Still growing



Hi friends!
The sun is out!!!
Last Wednesday I added a top and bottom row but Haven't had the chance to work on it since.  I usually work on it on Sat. but  we had a reunion of my mother's family yesterday so I cooked all afternoon Sat.
I was wore out when we got home yesterday but managed to sew a little on something else.
 This is as far as I have gotten with it.
Hopefully I can work on it some this afternoon.
It's getting to look very good and the pattern is showing up.
I love how it's growing!
Hope  oldest step  girl likes it to.
Have a great day friends.

Getting there

Hi friends!
Beautiful day!
Look at this real good!
See what I mean?  Son-in-law said when I was taking out stitches on Sunday[ I wouldn't  do that after all you are making them a quilt, it doesn't have to be perfect]  .
But it has to at least look like the pattern.  I worked on it yesterday most of the day and now it looks almost like it should!
My points are not perfect but I guess I can live with that.
 
 
This is where I stopped yesterday, it's beginning to look good!
Maybe I will get another day this week to work on it, at the rate it's growing it want be long before it covers our bed but I am shooting for a queen size that hangs down about 12 inches on each side.
Have a great day friends!

Jack the ripper

Hi friends!
Beautiful day!
I added the top and bottom row and made the side one and them realized the side ones before was wrong.
So I spent the afternoon taking out stitches, that's a big part of quilting spending time with 'Jack the ripper'
Maybe by the middle of the week I will have them back on right and finish that row.
Hope every one had a great Mother's day"
I did!!!
Hubby cooked breakfast for me and One of my steps spent the afternoon with us.
My daughter was but  she got sick so I just got to see her Saturday
Have a great day friends.

Growing slowly



Hi friends!
Beautiful day!
I added another row all the way around on this quilt.
 
 
With this pattern you just keep adding, it took me 6 hours to get all of it cut and added.
And that was just one row and they will get so big that it will take all day to get one side done.
It just keeps growing with each row you add.
At this rate it will take a while before the beautiful pattern shows.
Have a great day friends.

Missy's quilt.

Hi friends!
Beautiful day!
I put one round on the star yesterday. Going to try to work on it today!
Tommy is plowing the garden and wants to get it planted before the week end because it's suppose to rain then.
Another look at it, it's going to be a beautiful quilt.
It's just one block and you just keep making it bigger and bigger until it's queen sized.
Have a great day friends.

Melissa's Quilt

Hi friends!
Beautiful day!
I started the exploding star quilt for Melissa Dawn,
Don't know what I am doing just following a picture posted on facebook of it made of half square
triangles.    I printed off the picture but not the info of who posted it.  But I want to thank you for the help.    I remember she said she made it for her 65 year old brother.
This is as far as I have gotten on it  so far.
I think it will look o k when I get further alone.
Have a great day friends.
