A couple more projects

I made the above I-Spy quilt for a mom that recently had her fourth girl. We had a service auction at church where I offered to make an I-Spy quilt for my service. Another mom, April (yours is coming soon! It's done but I know you check my blog so I won't show it until after it has been delivered.), actually won the quilt but this other mom ending saving all of her points for this quilt and then ended up not winning anything that night. So, I told her I would do one for her too. I made those two quilts at the same time - definitely felt faster than doing them separately.
I love the train fabric on the back.
Another project that I recently finished is this flannel rag quilt in the shape of a puppy for Ava. I had originally planned on getting it done before Christmas but that did not happen. She's been talking about her puppy quilt for a long time. She can finally snuggle up to it. This is the first rag quilt I've tried. It was definitely a different process. It's like you quilt and back each piece and THEN sew them together. Chris wasn't so sure about the "raggy-ness" of it until it came out of the wash the 2nd time.
The quilt is nice and big as you can see.
I plan to make the kitty one for Elise one day and the bear for kid #3 if said kids ever happens. Kids #4-7 will just have to share. (kidding, Chris - don't panic).

I am very impressed. You are so talented. I really like Ava's puppy quilt. Hope Elise is feeling better!

Those look so good. Great job on getting your projects done. Very inspiring. I too hope Elise is feeling better. When Joseph had RSV it took awhile for him to really feel back to normal. Good luck and get some rest.
