Quilts, the end of 2010

I saved a couple of quilt photos that I did the end of last year...

yes, last year already!...

The first pic is a quilt I made

 from the fabric line
"a Kitten's Tale by Red Rooster".

 It was supposed to be 60" by 60",

but I changed up the borders, so it finished at 72 inches square,
and I quilted it with a loopy flower pattern.

It was a gifty-gift for a sweet little four year old girl. 
And she loved it!

Next pic is my
Snowball Challenge (& fabric swap) quilt
from last year. 

The top was finished within the time frame of the challenge...
last January!
Don't know why I waited, but....I finally quilted it. 

And, I stitched the binding to it on the drive out of state this past week.

It's really a big one (I think 90+" square)...
(I added to the pattern by adding rows to complete the pattern of the stars,
then added another row of creams/whites
so the star points didn't touch the red binding).
(I think I'll re-take the pic

with the quilt on the bed to show the borders hanging evenly.)

Here's a pic of the backing - a great red on cream,
I think a Jennifer Chiaverini print?

 

Anyway, I, too, love my quilt. 

I named it "Snowballs and Snow Swirls"....

snowballs for the pattern

and snow swirls for the quilting I did on it.

Here's the new pic...
sorry it's tilted and looks like the whole bed is going to slide out of the picture...

When I was taking the photo, I thought this angle would show more of the quilt...

instead, it looks like it's sliding and the quilt is not on the be evenly. :) hang on!

Anyway, I washed the quilt,
using even more of those great little color-catcher sheets!, 
and, yes,
 it bled again,
and it crinkled up oh-so-nicely, and
I really love it.

Thanks, Allyson and Nicole for the snowball challenge.

More finishes to share at a later date!

How are your projects coming along???

Hope you can stitch a little today...
