The two memory quilts are finished and have been picked up. I believe there will be plenty of tears over the weekend. I'll hear all about it Monday when the man comes back to do some more handyman work for me.
This is the first one.... left side.
The right side.
The tribute square.
The second one.... left side.
Other side.
The tribute square.
I did simple crosshatching all over both the quilts because it's subtle and follows the squares theme. Her clothes are the important focus.... not the quilting. I used cream color thread except for the tribute squares. On those I used mono thread. I wrapped the backing over the front for the binding.
It's a holiday weekend and I plan on relaxing instead of quilting. I might work on the garden... then again... maybe not. It's supposed to rain most of the weekend. Actually, they say it will probably be raining until Friday of next week. The river is still at flood stage and the weather service can't make up it's mind how much farther the Ohio River might flood. One prediction says it will be at 29 feet above flood stage and other predictions say only 27 feet above. A flood is a flood... how much water doesn't matter... it's still destructive and dangerous.
Have a great holiday weekend everyone!
