I Have Two Finished Quilt Tops

One is this one that I finished on the 3rd of July. 

I hadn't finished piecing the back until yesterday. I was waiting to see if I wanted to do a fun accent detail but decided that the it overwhelmed me so I opted against it. Now it is ready to go off to the quilter. When will that happen? I don't know, keep reading.

I also finished up my Halloween/Fall quilt top.  

I was totally excited to sew the backing together so I could drop them both off together. Yesterday I busted out the backing and discovered that it is about a 1/4 yard too small. I wanted to scream. This was a kit that was all inclusive so it wasn't my error. I hopped online and bought a yard of contrasting fabric (I had to. This is last years line so it wouldn't be in any local stores. Also it is a striped backing so I had to get a contrast fabric. I would never be able to match of all the lines) and plan to have a contrast stripe across the top and the bottom of the back. Once again I find this all overwhelming so it will probably take my a while to do it. That's just how I roll.

I am still working on my Rainbow Sherbet and still getting frustrated because the one row still doesn't line up. I have five row left and my goal is to get most of the done today. It could happen! (you can see it in the distance in the pictures below. It hasn't changed much. Paul informed me that he is ready for it to be done. I guess he is tired of it hanging over the railing)

I was so proud of my progress yesterday that I rewarded myself by allowing myself to play with fabric for another quilt I plan to start soon. 

Ooh pretty. Isn't this so cool? If I ever get a quilt room I might just have to take a series of abstract fabric pictures to blow up as art. 

I wanted to see how the colors would work. This line is called Neptune from Moda. The pattern can be found on Moda's Bake Shop. It the Scruffily Quilt.

I really love these colors together, well mostly I do. It isn't as big as it should be because I couldn't stand the way the pink looked with all the blues and greens even though it didn't bother me when they were all rolled up together. I think this will be adorable when it is done. It will also be totally different that anything else I have made.

Family room or quilt room? It's hard to tell somedays.
