My leader with the Oconomowoc Quilters Guild Comfort Quilts has put out the memo, "Please bind the Jefferson Foster Kids Comfort Quilts by machine." Wow! Does this speed up the finishing of the quilts!
First up is the Green/Blue quilt.

(3.5 inch strips that are strip pieced and submit into 6.5 inch squares)
panto: continous baptist fans
approximate size (before quilting): 55 x 72

Second up is the Hanging Diamonds Quilt.
pattern: Stripe Tube Ruler by Daniela Stout

approximate quilt size: 58 x 76

Both of them are beautiful - and yes.... always by machine - If I had to do them by hand I would never finish one quilt!! ;-)
These are going to make a couple of kids very happy. :) I normally finish binding by hand, also, so it's like a party with the few that I do finish up completely by machine!
Congrats on two finishes in one week! I'm sure both quilts will be well loved!
