Bentley's big boy quilt

Hi friends!
I made these blocks last week end but wasn't until yesterday that i had time to add them to the others.
I laid them out to find out how wide the saching should be to joined them and sewed them on. One or two more rows and it will be ready for the border.
It's nearly long enough!

Look what's in our garden!
Hubby eat that pepper last night and has been hurting ever since.
Have a good day

Two More Blocks

Hi friends!
I made these two blocks before we went on our trip and have been so busy finishing quilts for the weekend that i haven't got back to it but next week i will.
Yesterday GrannieQ   was asking for help in finding this quilt that she made for her sister, said it was lost in the San Diego area.
It's a beautiful quilt so if any one in that area sees this let her know.
Have a great weekend

Bentley's quilt

Hi friends!
I added three more joined blocks to make 3 rows .
It's taking shape!This one is it.
I then pinned both rows on to the middle row.
Ready to sew together.
That's a good half of the top of a twin sized quilt.
Pretty good for just working on it a few minutes a day.
Have a good one

More of Bentley's Quilt.

Hi friends!
As you can see i need to do some ripping!
I joined these first so i could measure the width. Then i ripped out the saching between the first three blocks.
Here i could see how wide i needed my saching between each block to be to measure the same for both rows.
Well this much is done so far.
I love making my g-gs quilts and my kids and grands to.
Makes my retirement busy but it's a labor of love.
Have a good weekend

Bentley's Big Boy Quilt

Hi friends!
I made a bigger block for the middle of Bentley's big boy quilt. Showing a few tractors and the emblem of John Deer.
Then i put together three of the smaller blocks.
 I put together  three of these!
I think for a twin bed with a border this may be wide enough.
But i am going to make up some more and see how it looks.
Have a good one

More Tractors.

Hi Friends!
I cut some more John Deer tractor's yesterday.
I am thinking of making these blocks different sizes and maybe a big one in the middle. I cut 4 our yesterday and started cutting strips to go around each one.
I didn't get much done at all ! We went to buy groceries and that always wears me out , i think it standing on that cement floor all that time.
I am going to try to get some more done today.
The purple Irises  are getting ragged but the yellow one are started blooming.
The yellow one hubby's mother planted, the purple his first wife planted at their house but i trans planted them up here. White i got from a friend of mine.
Have a good one
