New to me

Just a quick post to show what's been going on

in the  bonus room studio.

Jonah's raffle quilt is on the frame.

Even though I am in a time crunch to

have the quilt finished for the benefit I wanted

to try some "new to me" quilting.

A little crosshatching and cc's.

I did something different on the borders but

can't show them just yet.  It's not that they are secret,

but at the moment they are rolled up.

Not perfect but I think it will look great.

See that little ruler, Ann at http://bunkhousequilts.blogspot.com/
told me about it.  Took a while to get the hang of it, but now I love to use it.

I also started a commission baby quilt.
Colors are a little bold but they match the nursery.

Yes, same pattern, (as Dr Suess quilts) different fabric.  I think this lady thinks this is all
 I can make. LOL
Actually, all of the quilts are for her grandchildren and she doesn't want one to feel they received less than the others, so she wants them all alike but different colors.
Fine with me as long as she keeps paying.  I'm saving up for Paducah.

I want to quilt butterflies and flowers randomly in some of the squares.  I found the cutest fabric for the back and maybe the borders, I haven't decided yet.  I made the
 1 inch blocks for the middle strips and of course her name will added in the white strip.  Trying to decide what color to use for the name.  She wants black but I'm not real sure that will look right.  The white dots are just to keep the rows numbered so I don't get them out of order.

Looks like I will have a busy weekend.  I need to help older son at his house,
finish Jonah's quilt, start quilting baby quilt and finish up tax returns.

That's all for me, how has your week been?

Whoop Whoop
it's Friday.
