Postcard with Gray



I've finished another postcard quilt, this time with gray and all original colors. I thought it would be fun to compare it too the previous one I made with the extra colors. It's the one with the black binding.
 

There's not a lot of difference between the two. Mostly I see a few darker pieces on the black one in the bottom left corner. I also see a few different fabrics in the upper left where I changed out some of the orange to make it more diverse and more towards the lighter orange. I wasn't sure I would like the black binding, but I really think it's striking in this photo. 

I'm working on a new pattern...finally! It will be sewn just as soon as my sewing machine comes back from the repair shop. I hope it's not gone too long!

Camouflage Quilt

I've been meaning to make a camouflage quilt for a couple years now. I've finally done it! The backing fabric has been hiding in my closet for a while, but I stumbled across it looking for something last month. I have two bolts - one with this reddish color and the other is more tan. 

I wanted relatively small pieces to give this quilt the camouflage feel and I think it worked out. The only thing I would change is to add some of the backing fabric to the front. I will be doing that on the next quilt. 

56" x 68"

 This would make a great gift for any outdoorsman. Good thing my kids have plenty of quilts or some of them might have tried to snatch this one up!
