More finished quilt tops

Here are some more of the finished quilt tops. The diversity between them all never ceases to amaze me.

Not happy with the colour of this one - it's mauve and purple with mauve and white check and spots!

One step closer to becoming a quilt

By the end of last week several more tops had been finished. Some arrived as blocks, and have been assembled into the tops, others weren't quite big enough so we added borders. I hope you don't mind us doing that if we need to ... we spend a LOT of time considering what can be done, while keeping (what we hope is) the original 'feel' of the quilt.
I get pretty annoyed with the colour in my pics ... when I take each one, I take several with AND without the flash in an attempt to get the colour accurate ... but they never seem to do them justice compared to 'the real thing'. It's the paler colours I'm having the most trouble with ... they seem so washed out! For example, the yellow in the Earth Movers quilt above is a real primary yellow. Grr!

Quilt tops

It's been wonderful arriving at school, or coming home, to parcels filled with gorgeous quilt tops. The diversity of colours and techniques cover the full range of the spectrum - and reflect the individuals who made them.

Here are a few of the quilt tops that have arrived and are waiting to be quilted.

It's been a real challenge for me to find the sashing, border and backing fabrics for all the quilt tops. Choosing colours has always been a fearful task for me. As a relatively 'newbie' quilter I have to say it's been a learning 'vertical'. It's been wonderful - I have learnt SO much about colour - I'm no longer afraid. :-)

Blocks to quilt tops

Here are the finished quilt tops using the blocks I showed you earlier - I decided to use all the blocks in the quilt above and make it bigger than the 'snuggle' quilt size because it's a more 'grown up' quilt. The colour is brighter than it looks here.

There were enough of these blocks and leftover bits and pieces to make up 2 'snugglers'.
