I've got finishes for Friday!

I'm happy to say I've finished some projects that have been lying around my house.
This scrappy Dresden was supposed to be a fast quilt
since I appliqued and quilted the plates in one go.
Here's the back -- I like the feature strip in it
and how the handquilting shows on this side.

I ended up big stitching around and in the Dresdens,
so what was supposed to be a quick quilt
stretched out to nearly a year
not counting the time to piece the Dresdens.


Here's another long work-in-progress,
finally finished and gifted

and already much loved and appreciated by A.
Note the purple and black quilted hanging in the top right
which I made for my church five years ago.

Here's A. with a view of the other side.

and one more finish for Friday, already used as a prize earlier this week.
Yes, that makes three finished in the last week or so.
I don't plan on keeping up the pace for the rest of the fall, but I'll enjoy it for now.

I'm linking up with Amandajean's Finish it up Fridays.

Wow - 3 finishes! They are all fantastic. I really like the dresdens - the fabrics you used plus that yellow background give it such a cool vintage-y feel.
