The finishes for August seem like so long ago because they were both at the beginning of the month. The border barely shows on the quilt on the left against a white design wall. It was made from 7 Martha Negley fabrics and I used my die cutter for all of the pieces. It is 67" x 83.5".
On the right is Australian Bars, all Australian/Aboriginal fabrics. It is 50" x 71".
It was a big month for quilt tops, more than I thought I would finish. On the left is a 16 patch made with many lines of Marcia Derse fabrics. I will estimate that there are at least 55 different fabrics in it. It's a big one, 80" x 96". Center top is 6" squares of approximately 40 different floral fabrics, mostly from the 1990 - 2000 time period. I die cut the squares last November. It is 54" x 72". Center bottom is all plaids, a 16 patch that will be finished as a baby quilt with tractors on the back. It is 40" x 48". The plaid squares were cut many years ago. At the right is a quilt made with all Kaffe collective fabrics. I cut lots of scraps into 3.5" x 6.5" rectangles and paired them with 2 different black and white fabric squares. It is 54" x 75".
I also had a good month making table top pieces, 4 table runners and 2 mats. All of the table runners are 12" wide and lengths varied from 24" to 36".
These 2 were finished last night. The top one is 12" x 24" and the other one is 12" square. I finished the binding by machine on these 2. It was a month that started out with nice weather, then an almost unbearable high heat, high humidity middle of month, ending with a beautiful week of cool, low humidity weather. I certainly have more energy in the cooler weather and was happy to get all of these table top pieces done at the end of the month.

Wonderful finishes for August, Wanda!! You were really productive!!
I love the little Windmill block one...
58 early this morning and already up to 61--overcast with peeks of sun coming through..
This will be a quiet Labor Day for us. I am hoping to start re-stacking and re-folding my stash...I cannot find anything as it is now...!!:(((
Hugs, Julierose Happy Labor Day;)))
You had a very productive month working your way through fabric you cut some time ago and fabric you have been collecting. What a beautiful assortment!
August was a long month! Your finishes and WIPs are an inspiration.
You accomplished a lot this month!
What a grand array of finishes for August. I don’t remember when you’ve had this many before, they all show your “exuberant”creativity.
you get done with so much every month! I don't know how you do it - I know some of them you started ages ago and pull them out and finish but it is still a lot - and although it is small I love the Hunter's Star runner
Applause, applause, applause ... take a bow if you please!!
Hugs!
Yes, a very productive month! Love the pink Martha A. one, delightful way to use those fabrics.
