It's finished!!
 

I finally finished it!!
This is the first quilt I have ever made. It's made with 20 different breast cancer fabrics and uses a pattern called "turning 20". I had so much fun making it that I have already made another one that just needs to be quilted and the binding done. I am hoping to get it finished this weekend.

I have also started a quilt for my younger daughter and it will be done with crazy animal prints. I have attached a photo of the general design so you can see what I'm talking about. It's made with 110 nine inch blocks (king size) and each square will have a small sashing piece between it and the next in black and white zebra. The back is done in a black and white zebra as well.

This is what it will look like with the sashing

And these are the stacks of strips!

My son has requested a quilt as well, in some manly camo and browns and deer fabric, so I am searching for the pattern I want to use and will start on it as soon as I finish the daughter's quilt. I have all 110 blocks sewn except for the very last strip, so I am thinking I will have it finished by Sunday if there are no hiccups this week.

Anyway, thanks for looking

I think that is one of the most beautiful quilts I've ever seen!!

Thank you. I love how it turned out.

Wow it is the most touching and beautiful quilt I have seen. Thanks for sharing.

Your daughters quilt is going to be a fun looking quilt

I can't imagine how much time and work and neck aches it must have taken to make that lovely quilt. The work looks wonderful. I just love quilts! And they usually tell some type of story. My favorite is so old it is practically slick but soft and warm as butter on toast. And heavy. I love the old thing. Your quilt is wonderful and like all good ones, will be around for a long, long, long, long time. They are timeless. I'm sure you treasure it. I know I would.

Wild and crazy, just like her!

Wow! Very nice...excellent work!

How talented you are! The breast cancer quilt is georgeous and I love the animal print one you've started. It is going to be a fun quilt! Thanks for sharing.
