Two More Done

It has been awhile since I posted newly completed quilts.

This Dresden Plate was pieced more than six years ago. I assembled the blades by machine, cut the circles for the centers, cut the background blocks and then put everything in a tote. This was my handwork that summer, wherever I was: appliquéing the plates to the backgrounds and then appliquéing the centers.

Once it was all done, it went into a pile of tops to be quilted.

I finally got it to the quilter this year. Now it is bound and tonight it will go to its forever home: a terrific guy who finds he is taking more naps than he used to.

I have mentioned before that I seem to know a lot of people who are in the baby-making business.

This quilt is for someone who is due this month. The parents (my kind of people!) have elected not to learn the gender ahead of time.

I think this happy quilt will be just fine for either a girl or a boy.

I'll be giving it away next week.

I have more in the pile "to be quilted" and am slowly getting them finished, a few each month.

It feels good.
