This was my display for a recent talk at our guild exploring Modern Quilting. You would think I have a lot of finishes but quite a few of those piles are only quilt tops. I have way more WIP's than finishes and I think that is going to be my focus for 2016 - just get them done!
So when I read Soma @Whims and Fancies was hosting an online trunk show I knew I wanted to join in the fun but the stipulation was to share finished quilts. I had a bit of an oh-oh moment with that and thought about writing about maybe 1 or 2 quilts I hadn't shared in a while, that I had actually finished.
As I started pulling in photos for this post, it occurred to me instead
to show the makes I can't ever show in person as I have either given
them away or a certain someone has "borrowed" them (more on that later!)
