Old Projects Completed

Since my husband was kind enough to buy me some more batting and filler recently I have been able to finish off a few of my projects that I have had sitting around. I have more to finish and am looking forward to working on them but for now this is what I have been able to finish off.

Each of my kids have a small pillow that I made them for use around the house. Makes it easier when you line them all up on the floor for movie nights, because there is just not enough room for six kids and big pillows for each. My youngest had not gotten a pillow so when I saw this fabric in the box of stuff from my husband's Grandma I thought it would be cute for him. To bad I ran out of filling on everyone else's pillows before I could finish his. Now that it is done though he loves it.




A while back I made a table topper quilt top with hand appliqued flowers on it. This past week or so I was finally able to finish it off. To finish it off I used a pale yellow fabric for the backing and tried my hand at free motion quilting using a flower pattern between the appliqued flowers. It gives the front and the back both a nice look I think.












I was finally able to finish off a little table or wall quilt that had been started by my husband's Grandma. She had pieced together the small squares made of triangles. I put them together with blue squares to finish off the top but was unable to finish it with out batting. I hand quilted it which did not really turn out that great since it was done with out a hoop, but it did not turn out that bad. Since it is a cowboys football fabric and my husband does not like that team, it may end up being a gift for a friend of mine that does like them.
