They are now finished tops. Yeah! Measure 36" and 37"square respectively, and are ready for the ladies of St. Anne's to do their magic. Remember I'm just the top maker. Love that part best!
Here's the first one:
It just needed one more border to be the right size.
To this one I added three borders. Both were made with the center square made using the Exploding block as seen on Jenny Doan's tutorial.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on another WIPS finished and in the books! I'm starting to get caught up on my WIPS now that summer is in full swing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finishes. Love what you did with the second one; the fussy cut corners of the pink border is a lovely touch. ;^)
ReplyDeleteNice to get things finished, isn't it? I'm working on that exact size of hexie now...it would be great not to have to cut them out myself! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing quite like the feeling of finishing a WIP, is there? It's like jumping over a hurdle into an open field! My favorite part of quilting is making the quilt tops too. So far, I've done all the extra steps myself to finish them. Someday, I may find a long-arm quilter for a bigger project...how exciting!

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you said that, as I feel the same way. I have been struggling with FMQ and I simply don't enjoy it. I accept now, that I'm in your camp, a top maker.
Your little quilts are so cute!
