There were 3 finishes in April. The quilt on the left is all batik fabrics and the top was finished last year in October. It is 62.5" x 74".
The other 2 finishes are made with Tilda fabrics. I searched online for pieces from older lines to add to the newer lines that were available. I had some green prints too but chose to only use the soft reds, roses, and blues in these 2 quilts. The one in the center is a free pattern on the Tilda website, Whimsy, and I chose it because it had larger pieces that would showcase the fabrics. It is 54" x 74". The one on the right is a 16 patch with the remainder of the fabric with ladies inserted as alternate blocks. It is 55" x 70".
I also have 3 quilt tops completed in April. All three of these are from previous years and were just waiting for border decisions. I think the one on the left looks like a game board. It started with 4 star blocks, flying geese sashing and bow tie blocks. The border pieces were strips that were already pieced years ago, and they finished the top nicely. It is 40" square. The one in the center got the 4 patches as a border before the 4th twig print border. It is 45.5" x 57.5", The flannel quilt on the right was started on December 2, 2023. It took over a year to get the border cut and sewn on, kind of ridiculous. It is 40" square and I have enough of the border fabric to use on the back.
I only finished one table topper in April. It is almost 21" square. I have another one very similar to this to finish in May.
The second one will have the same backing and binding fabric as this one has.
I have one more quilt waiting for binding and one quilt partially basted to work on in May. I will also be working outside more and also trying to clean up the basement and move more of my fabric up to the main level studio.

From the photos, the batik quilt finish is my favorite but I know in person it would be the one of the Tilda finishes. We will be working in the yard picking up sticks…..so many sticks!
Great accomplishments for April ! Luv the table topper!
Those projects turned out so well, very pretty fabrics and colors. Nice work for April!
You've had a really productive April, Wanda--love the Tilda quilts

57 here this sunny morning--we hear that the dewpoints are going to go up today and rain is predicted for the next FIVE days in a row!! Yikes!!
Off to my 6-mo. eye exam check-up this morning and then to see if we can find some outdoor larger pots for a few shrubs to decorate the front a bit. It is looking pretty bare with the grass now and stonescaping...
Hugs for a great weekend Julierose

April was indeed a month of grand finishes for you. Such a fun array of unique quilts to wrap up April.
You had a very good April!
