Latest finishes

Well I've finished two quilts so far this year so I'm powering along with my resolution!!! Last week we visited my parents for a week so these were finished before then but this is the first chance I've had to blog about them. The first is a quilt top that I've had done for over a year... woops!! I love this quilt- it's a log cabin made from "Blessings" by Brannock and Patek honey buns. It was inspired by a giveaway that Nicole had.
The second is a quilt that I've had cut out for a long while- so I pieced it and quilted it in less than a week! This is the largest quilt I've quilted and it was hard! I broke two needles and used 5 bobbins for this quilt. I love the results though!!! The fabric is Faye Burgos and it was a kit from the fat quarter shop from a couple of years ago. There was enough fabric for two table runners with some left over too... I'll post the table runners when they're washed and crinkly- I made them with mum on my holiday!
 The backing is a cheater fabric and worthy in it's own right!
 Kelvin helped with the binding!!!
I went to Cobar with mum and had a wonderful time in the Cobar Quilt Shop. I bought a Nancy Halverson christmas wall hanging kit and some "Saltbox Harvest" by Deb Strain to make a quilt. I have some very exciting autumn quilts to start now!!!!
