2 finishes and 2 days to Christmas!

Finished up 2 quilts in the last 24 hours. Not that I'm cutting it close to Christmas or anything..... Yikes! I still have one more to complete before Christmas Eve.
The first one is my first I-Spy quilt. This one isn't staying with me--it's for my cousin Monica's little girls. Monica participated in the I-Spy swap and then commissioned me to make her quilt. It was a lot of fun!
This is one of my favorite squares--the green with black and white shoes!
For the backing, I used a vintage-y kitchen-y print and a beet print. I LOVE the beets. Not sure why.
This one.... well I'm kind of in love with it. It's a jelly roll... wait, no. It's a honey bun. Moda Oh Cherry Oh! Love it. I did a basketweave pattern and then a border. Backed it with the same pattern as the border. The binding was an unrelated red and white dot.
It's a baby gift for my cousin's little daughter who is 12 weeks old!

  2. Those look awesome! I love the design on the I-spy one. I've got it bookmarked and I'm totally going to copy that for a Project Linus quilt next year!
