New Projects

I have two projects that I was working on and just finished.  The checkerboard scrap quilt is done!!! YAYYYY -- I love the colors and the fact that I could use up some scraps in my stash.  It was fun to do but a bit challenging to quilt.  I used a tighter-woven fabric for the backing which gave me fits and took me a lot longer to hand quilt.  See what you think.

The second project is a quilt that used two charm packs from the Berenstein Bears "Bear Country" collection by Moda.  I used a half-square triangle style for the pattern and filled in with a solid off white color for contrast.  The quilt was really fun to do -- like putting a puzzle together -- and it is also hand quilted.  The borders are from the same line of fabric and I used the "bears" to bind it as well.  The green color continues on the back.  I just love the bright colors.
