BYC SEWING/QUILTING CLUB

Thanks everyone. The photo doesn't really show the colors. Maybe I should have hung it and took the picture. It's for my youngest.

Here is one I finished last year for my middle son. He picked out the pattern and said he wanted patriotic colors. It took me two years to finish. I machine sewed the top and hand quilted it.

That is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Thanks! It is the only second quilt I have made. I am trying to start another for myself & DH. When I gave it to my son he said 'It's about time!". The stinker!

That is a beautiful quilt. I like the patriot colors. Sons are that way I guess. The son that I made my quilt for has been after me for about 2 years to make him another log cabin quilt. He doesn't know I've started this one. I'm going to machine quilt it so it will take a bit more abuse than hand quilting. I intend for it to be his Christmas present but might be his birthday present and Christmas.

Here is what I am starting on for myself and DH. I was wondering what y'all think about the color scheme. DH is partial to purple and I like the red with purple. I thought that yellow for the sashing and inner boarder would brighten it up some. I have dark green for the outer boarder.

baustin, thanks for the comment, you will have to post a pic of your sons quilt when you finish.

I like the colors and the pattern. Will post final pix after I do the backing and quilting. I'm going to stitch in the ditch around the logs and maybe some free motion quilting in the sashings.

Thanks! I will watch for your pic.

Didn't go to town as planned due to the rain. It was just too yucky looking out and windy. I've started cutting out a scrap quilt that I saw on Quilt in a day called "desert" although my colors won't all be pastel.
