I finished two quilt tops this weekend (despite being felled most of Saturday afternoon by a really bad migraine; the worst I've had in over a year).

The first one will eventually go to Project Linus when it's completed:



This is just a simple, smallish (I think it came out about 44" by 48") four-patch-with-alternating plain blocks quilt. It's all dog-print fabrics, including a couple of the cute Debbie Mumm dog prints.

Here is a close up of one corner, showing the fabrics better:



(The top border is not bleached or washed out; it just looks that way because the sun is shining through it and the rest of the quilt shows up darker because the fence is behind it).

I'm going to do a second one, similar style but with different fabrics (the border fabric on this one will be the "alternating block" fabric on the other one, and the four-patches have different fabric in them.

It turned out cute, I think, and I hope eventually it will make some little kid a little happier.

I also finished a quilt top that will be for me:

I hung this one up by its long edge so it wouldn't drag on the ground. It came out larger than I anticipated it would:



It's all light green, bright clear red, and bright yellow prints, sort of a vintage 1940s feel, I think. Some of the fabrics are Mary Engelbreit designs.

Here's a close up:



I have a big piece of that outer border fabric to be the back on this, and I think I'm either going to bind it in solid red or solid yellow.

I have my next quilt planned; some very cute pastel "Christmas" (but would also work for "winter" - there are some that are trompe-l'oeil knitted-fabric look ones, a couple with snowflakes, one with cute birds, and another that's a snowy landscape) fabrics, and I'm going to do a new pattern (well, new to me) called Pie Crust Pileup (I am doing the "thick crust" option; it's the one shown on the left in that photo). The "background" fabric is a mottled warm yellowish tan, which is the only color that didn't either wash out or clash with any of the theme fabrics.

It should be fun because the cutting is pretty simple (That's a feature I like about a lot of the Atkinson patterns) and it's a "different" pattern. I'm thinking if this one turns out well I might use the pattern again, with some of the juvenile fabrics I bought because I "liked" them and then realized I'd never use them in a quilt for me, for another Linus quilt.
