Curved Log Cabin Quilt + Two Baby Quilts finished this week.

I decided that this quilt needed a facing instead of a binding finish.  I thought binding it would stop the "movement" of the design.  I really don't like hand-stitching, but it's inevitable when attaching a facing.  It took a while, but I got it done, and I'm very happy with the results.

I used lots of FQs for the pieced back and I like the contrast with the front.  I kept the facing scrappy, too, in the spirit of the back.

I also finished two baby quilts this week.  Luckily binding worked well for them.  Below are photos of all three quilt backs.

 Plus, I remembered to stitch quilt labels on all three quilts!  It's like a miracle.

Plan B

This is a "plan B" quilt top. This year I foolishly started a Temperature quilt. With my travel schedule, I realized it wasn't going to happen. I deconstructed the January thru March temperature strips and stitched them back together to make this top.

The quilt top measures 42 x 36 inches.

Now to work on the quilt back.

HST Flying Geese are the October BOM

I cheated!  I wanted to make these far in advance because I have a 3 week trip coming up and I hate to miss a deadline.  (Even if the deadline is self-imposed!)  

TVMQG member Madeline is presenting this block at our meeting this week and it's due in October.  Since I wrote the blog post about the tutorial, I had the inside scoop and was able to make these ahead.  I made four, but they're all alike so I only photographed two of them.  The tutorial can be found here.

The Any Which Way Quilt Top

Today, it's colder than heck, but a least it's not raining.  That means I was able to get outside and take some photos.  The Half Rectangle Triangles I've been working with sure are fun.

This quilt top measures 37 x 43.5".  I still have some HRTs leftover, I haven't decided how to use them.

As a reminder, these are the first and second quilt tops using Water Land.
