A change, A mistake and A finsih

 
 
 
 
The more I looked at this the more I thought it was a little too crowded.
So I spent 2 hours ripping out the butterfly border and putting it back together.
I do like the effect it has now.
And all that trouble I went through to find more butterfly fabric.
Oh well - we know it won't go to waste.
 
I did manage to put together some stack n whacks.
This is a good example of a not so good repeat.
It doesn't look so bad but it should look much better.

 
 I finally got the truck quilt out of the frame.
I really had a hard time deciding how I wanted to quilt this.
In the long run I just used straight lines.
I thought the thread was a mistake -
should have used a monafilament instead.
The thread I used takes away from the pattern a little.

Oh well it's done. One down One to go.
Problem is I pieced 2 of these - for my 2 grandsons that live here.
I ended up making them another one and now I need to sell these.

Truck Top

Two trucks quilt tops put together.
I cut this truck quilt out a few months ago.
Actually I cut out 2. I always figure as long as I'm cutting......
Thank goodness I cut 2 because I will probably never make this one again.
I really had a time with them.
 
My intention was to make them for my grandsons.
But I think I've changed my mind.
I also managed to get a truck load of alterations done over the weekend.
So now that I'm all caught up on the alterations and have these truck quilts put together I can start a new project - Or at least finish one of my many UFO's.
