I am trying to finish up these 2 quilts which were meant to be Christmas gifts. I am not allowing myself to start anything else until I finish these! Of course I didn't get to them until a few days before Christmas. I told the recipients they were coming- just not when. I go back to work on January 12, so I will finish before then- I promise.
Arthur's quilt- this is a gift for the maintenance man in my condo building. He is also a minister part-time, hence the crosses. Lots of New Orleans themed fabrics in here too. But, the main theme is black and white. This one came out large- 74 X 92. Now to quilt it on my domestic machine.
Joe's quilt- this is a gift for Joe, Arthur's assistant. I chose these colors because Joe has such a colorful personality. He is never in a bad mood. He loves my little dog and looks for him each morning when we go walk. I couldn't made a quilt for Arthur and not make one for Joe.
These 2 guys really take care of all of us in our condo building. They admire my quilts when they come in my unit. But they ask why I keep making more blankets! If you're not a quilter, you don't get the obsession, right?
