Finished quick and easy!

[pat on the green]

I'm very pleased to be able to tell you that all three quilts have been
finished: two were given to the little girls last Sunday; the baby boy's
is being given to his Daddy today or Sunday.
I am grateful for all your suggestions.
What I did in the end were:
Older girl - Trip around the world, in pinks, lilac and a bit of blue.
44" square
Younger girl - Warm wishes, in pink and lilac with burgundy and palest
grey for the stripey blocks. 42" square
Baby boy - Carpenter's Star, in blues and yellows.

The girls were delighted, I'm happy to say; and they began playing with
them straight away: wrapping themselves up in them, making a bed on the
floor and then up to their bedroom! Mum was pleased to hear they were
washable. So, I didn't have to say 'use them, don't keep them for best'

g<. 32" square

I didn't take pictures I'm afraid. Sorry!

It was an experience to do something so quickly. Not sure I want to
repeat that! I'd gladly make the quilts; but my self-imposed deadline
was almost impossible (hence the fact that I didn't finish baby boy's
until yesterday).

But, now that I have done them, I am sure that I have recovered from my
'burn-out' after completing the set of altar cloths three years ago.

Hurray!!

Thanks again everyone,

The quilts sound beautiful and I am so glad the girls loved them! Also glad
you got the baby's finished!

Very glad to hear it all worked out, Pat!
The look on the little ones' faces, makes the strain of a quick project, all worth it, doesn't it?
Always good to get out of a rough patch.
