The back.....working on it just a little today.

The baby came early!!

My niece had that little baby boy early, just a few hours ago!
All is well, but the quilt is not done, it is getting closer though.

I added this border today with the little boats,
this was so much fun.
I am getting very fond of paper piecing.
I used a boat pattern from this book.
This is a great book, it has a CD for your computer and you can print out
any pattern any size you would like, well.....up to
7 1/2 inch square on one sheet. You can print them larger but the pattern will be on two separate sheets of paper and you can tape them together.
It is my favorite book as far as paper piecing goes.

Another boy quilt.

As I have said in the pass "boy quilts are hard for me", I can never decide what to do.
So today I had to get busy because this baby boy is coming soon, if the quilt
is done or not!!
I decided to keep it simple, as you know, that is how I like things.

This will be the middle square, the boats are paper pieced.
This portion of the quilt is 20 x 24 and with borders it will be just the right size.

What to do??


I have not finished a big project in awhile.
So what to do??
I need to be working on Tiler's quilt, so today I made this heart for the border.
I think I will put it after his name. It is paper pieced.
