QOV sew in today.............

Sunday night I sewed borders on these 3 tops (two were pieced at the last sew in) to be ready to hand off to QOV quilters today.  Then yesterday I spent 4 hours doing prep work for all of the sewers.  Two of the ladies cut the strips on their Accuquilt cutters and then I sort them by length and then by pairs to sew together. 


At the sew in we have some people that sew, some that press, some that design the quilts on the portable design wall.

























I also added a few more grey/gray fabrics to the selection I showed a couple days ago.  I think the a zig zag quilt made with the 2 rectangle squares is the way I will go (tutorial in the label list, click on tutorials and it will be the first one).

Great quilt for QOV!! But I am just loving your selection for the gray quilt. But that PJ fabric is the best!

I'd be fighting for the design job. Love the green one in the middle.

I love that print with the grays! I night have to do something like that with my gray fabrics some day. Right now I am focused on dyeing a perfect light gray fabric. I'm getting closer.....

Those quilts are so pretty. The soldiers will love them. Just goes to show what people working together can accomplish. And I really enjoy seeing your selection process. Those grays really make the flower prints pop.

I just love all three quilts, but especially the top one. Is there a pattern available for it?

I love that green Twisted Rail quilt. It's so three-dimensional that it's amazing. Did you plan that?

Rebel said...

Oooh... the top one is my favorite. I like the balance between the stripes and the solid cream color. But the green one is super cool too.
