Starts and finishes

We have been quilting busily here at Wazoo, and I have some fun quilts for you to enjoy. I'm not going to elaborate much because I have an early date with the foot specialist and need to go to bed!

Mr Wazoo quilted this reproduction quilt

The customer chose the panto Swirl and Twirl

Here's the back

I finally finished the custom quilt! Isn't it pretty?

Great backing, too.

This customer used a panel in a really cute way!

I also finished the Quilt of Valor

Panto: Star in a lazy log

The patriotic backing. It will be on its way tomorrow.

After all the clearing out of the fabrics and other stuff, I got a bee in my bonnet to dig out the old quilt tops I have been given over the years. I like this one, and it is in pretty good shape. I starched it and pressed the daylights out of it to get it to lay flat. Then I trimmed the sides square and added a red inner border. I have the outer blue border sewn on two sides, but I'm not sure I'm happy with it. These old tops are hard to figure out when I'm finishing them because the colors will brighten up with washing. I'm hoping this one will look better quilted and washed. We'll see.

How the top looked right out of the box.

Pressed, trimmed and bordered.

Time for bed!!
