RSC15 overflow into RSC16...

sorry for the crappy picture- it's been cloudy and dreary here for weeks and weeks! this is my RSC15 crumb quilt- and it's done! as in DONE: quilted, bound and officially napped under. (that was my job...)

 

I forget the measurements- I think it's 70"X82"- right around there somewhere. it's always fun to look through and see some of the favorite fabrics, and remember the happy memories they bring back...

here's another quilt- almost done. but it's ready to go to the quilter, so that's fair, right? I used 75 (!) of my scrappy 16 patches from last year, and made a quilt/table cloth for my table at farmer's market. I picked out all the squares that had animals, vegetables or flowers on them. for good measure, I also chose some that had coffee and some sewing/quilting things on them. 

it's the ridiculously odd size of 150" X 50". I've never made a quilt that size, and I'm pretty sure nobody else has either! but: it will fit perfectly on my 2 tables, which are usually arranged in an L shape. there will be about a 2 block overhang on 3 sides. so, it's perfect, really, just an odd shape...

 

I've had this Hoffman Country Market fabric in my stash for 5+ years. I bought it when I was on my kick of making those repeating quilts (can't think of what they're called now...)  I never really liked this fabric, and that's why I didn't use it. but it's perfect for the farmer's market quilt! (i'll use it for the binding, too, and then that will be just about it for this fabric...)

 

we're busy buying seeds and stuff now- and Dave just came in and said that spring will be here before we're ready. ack! so soon it will be time to start farmer's market, too, and I'm hoping that this quilt on my table will bring some extra folks... if not for the beautiful and bountiful veggies and fruits, or the stimulating conversation with the farmers... at least they'll come to look at the pretty quilt!
