Happy New Year's Eve!

I hope everyone is having a great day, and getting ready to welcome the new year.  I have spent the day working on a mystery quilt, and figuring out how to use the second set of mystery quilt fabric I cut.  The end result is 2 tops almost done.  This first one is the mystery result, minus borders. At this size it is 50x70, which is the size I need for a donation quilt, so I'm stopping here.

The second one needs a little bit of tweaking to make the stacks look better (I like the top half better than the bottom), and some borders to make it the right size for a donation to Victoria's Quilts.

You can also see my leader/ender project still attached to the top, where I added the last border.  Oops.

I also finished quilting my house quilt yesterday.  I did some pretty dense quilting on this one, but I wanted to do justice to the houses. Each one has a slightly different pattern . And one of them has a cat sitting in the window.  I'll post better pictures once I get the binding done on this top.

  1. Your quilts are very pretty. I agree that the stacked quilt needs some tweaking. The top of the quilt is more like stacked bricks while the bottom has smooth curves. I look forward to seeing close-up house pictures.
