5 Fun finishes

There was plenty of time spent in the sewing room over the past few days which resulted in finishing off 5 small quilts.   These were fun to make and a great way to put all those left over novelty fabrics from previous projects to good use.  These quilts were all done as "boy themes" and I will do the next lot as "girl themes".    Now of course I have a whole lot of fabrics which need to be cut into 2 1/2" squares.  Us quilters are never short of fabrics or projects.


A soft flannel  was used as backing fabric on each of them as can be seen below.   I like to use only 100% cotton fabrics for babies quilts.   


They will be passed onto Cheryll when she returns from her current tripping around.  

I must away and organise some dinner as there has been a storm warning issued for tonight.   I do not want to be eating vegemite sandwiches by candlelight should the power go out again.  

UPDATE

For those asking - no we did not lose power last night.

Hi Karen! What great projects you've shared today. It's fun making baby quilts - those are my favorite size to make. And flannel on the back makes it so soft. You've made great use of your time in the sewing room! Thanks for linking up for TGIFF. ~smile~ Roseanne
