Christmas quilt

I had a crazy idea that I could do 2 quilts before Christmas. This one is the second. I chose a very easy pattern, but I still think it is cool. It's bright and fun. It's for my niece, who I don't think reads my blog. I'm sending it to Utah this week. Yea!

The second quilt will have to wait until after Christmas before I post pictures. It is for my sister-in-law. And I know she reads my blog, so it would really be counter productive for me to post it and expect her to be surprised on Christmas Day.

And a note to said sister-in-law. It's a Happy Birthday present too.

A note to my brother. I still will do what we discussed. But with the move and other quilt projects, I felt overwhelmed. I'm getting to the right place to begin the dragon. It will be fun, and full of "how am I going to do this?!?" moments. But that is part of the fun of quilting. I'm looking forward to it. Since it will be after Christmas, I think I'll post updates and let you see it in progress.

I just finished the first quilt. I did the top and then started and completed the second quilt before I finished the first. I had the crazy idea that I would complete the quilting and binding all in one day, the same day that I would be helping Debbie do her binding. I realized my folly that crazy day, but since I was knee deep in the process, I completed the second quilt. Anyway, my fingers are jabbed and poked. I'm glad it's done and my fingers can rest. :)
