More Basketweave

Here are two more basketweave quilt tops that I have made. I think they are pretty nice if you ask me.

Close up of the pink one

The previous pic doesn't show the pink very well so here is a close up. Hope it turns out better.

More Basket Weave

Well, I've done another basketweave and I think it is the best yet. It is shades of pink with red and black. Everytime I think I have outdone myself I come up with one that I think is even better. Such is the case with this one. These three colors were just calling to be done together and they turned out so perfect.

basketweave attempt done

Here is the latest picture of the basket weave pattern I have been using. Hope ya'll like it.

In other news, I was rear-ended Saturday afternoon and it damaged the bumper of my car to the point of needing replaced. Fortunately the damage didn't go beyond that state. And I wasn't hurt other than a slight headache. The car is at the repair shop already and I am waiting on a rental to have something to drive wihle it is getting repaired. Hopefully it won't take long to repair it.

It is Thursday which means it is Friday!

Every Thursday those of us that are in college are really happy 'cause it means we have 3 days off from school so we celebrate it as a Friday. Hey, it works for us so big deal.

I don't have any pics today .. am not done with the new design. Will get a post up soonest with the pics. Probably sometime today. Am working on getting those strips closer together. Started with 2" strips and so far that seems to be working okay. I wonder if myabe I should be using black or a dark gray though.it looks good with white center and red, white, and blue strips but something is missing.

Enough rambling for now. May post again later today.

POW time

This is my most recent Linus top. I call it POW! 'cause it started out having POW when you look at it. Made a mistake and got 2 blocks backwards and wasn't about to frogg the entire thing to fix it so just left it. Next one will get better.

Yet Another Basketweave

I have finished yet another basketweave quilt top. Here are pictures of all the ones I have done to date.

Now all I need to do is figure out how to put them in the middle of the text. Do that and I'll be good to go. If anyone that reads this blog would post on how to do it I sure would appreciate it.

Long Time No See

It has been a long time since I posted on here. A LOT has happened since I did. Foe one, I decided NOT to do the contest quilt. Things just got in the way and I was too nervous about it. maybe next time I'll enter one in a contest. I do like the design that I chose for it though. I think I'll put together a quilt using that design and see what happens.

So much has happened since I wrote last. Almost lost my bestest friend 'cause I believed a liar over her. She has forgiven me for it and said she understands how I got caught up in the mess. I felt so badabout it that it isn't funny. As of yesterday her and I will no longer discuss what happened and who started it 'cause we are tired of the person living rent free in our heads. We want our life back.

My quilting is coming along. I am going to try and post a pic of my most recent quilt. It is in a design that I have long wanted to do but couldn't find the right pattern and one day I did a google search and not only did I find the pattern but it was published by Project Linus. In case you are wondering or I didn't mention it before, Project Linus is who I do just about all my quilting for. I do do some other quilting but the majority is for Project Linus.

I am done here. Let me post this so I can find where to add pics. I'll try and not be such a stranger now.
