I found this quilt at a garage sale. It was hand pieced but unfinished. So I finished it on the machine and hand quilted it (finished it last night). What is so interesting about this quilt is, I found the quilt in pieces, didn't have a border. So out garage selling again and found this border, which matches a few of the pieces in the quilt. What a find!! I sure miss garage selling. Now all I need to do is bind it. The binding will be red, same material as the backing and it looks like it is old enough to be in the time period of the top of the quilt.

Round Robin Square - Barb

Well, mine is done. Don't worry, you all still have a month. Vance is just leaving for Hawaii on the 31st so I finished mine up so he could send it from there. Along with the square will be coming matching fabric. I will probably have to down size my square so don't let it bother you much when planning your squares.

All IN A DAYS WORK!

This is one of those quilt that was tagged for someone. That someone being Kevin. When Sue passed away, Teresa gave me this partially finished quilt along with some material. I worked on this in the past but just never finished it. I think one reason was that I did not have any border materail. I think I have found some that will work. It is just like the black in the quilt but with bigger flowers. I am happy to have this one almost done. Just a border and then ready for quilting. I am sure I will hand quilt this one. Sue loved all my sons but Kevin had a special place in her heart since she was around Kevin the most.
