Adding Notes on These Quilts

I purchased fabric for two of these quilts sometime in 2011. I wanted to make one for myself and another for my niece, Jessi.

In preparing for my guild retreat in March, 2012 I cut all the pieces for both quilts. At the retreat I was able to piece one entire quilt top and all but the side borders for the other.

These quilts finish at about 86" x 102". For Jessi's quilt I used the black and white polka dots for the backing and started quilting it yesterday.

Here is a close up of some of the fabrics before quilting.

Finishing

For Jessi's quilt I used black thread and the pattern "Oodles of Doodles" from Patricia Ritter.
