several Black Fridays ago, i purchased 2 FQ bundles of Good Neighbors fabric from Connecting Threads. the bundles sat for a while {ripening} while i pondered what i'd like to do with them.
(loosely based on the tutorial found here.) there's lots of these 2X4 quilts floating around in SM Land, and i do really like the pattern!
and above: a few close-up beauty shots of these quilts. the 2x4 is quilted with baptist fans, the churn dash is meandering circles.
both these quilts are destined for the Guest Room- one for the double bed, one for the twin. as soon as we actually have guests, that is...
the 4th quilt shown has been done for a long time, ( i wrote about it here) but i just recently decided on a home for it. it's baby sized, and uses a Moda Bistro charm pack as well. i'm thinking to give these 2 quilts to my son N, and his to-be-born son, due in June. N is a coffee aficionado, buying and roasting his own beans. with a new baby boy on the way, i thought it might be fun for them to have "matching" quilts.
i recently finished this 4 patch quilt- it's got a strong coffee vibe going on. i used 2 charm packs of Moda's Bistro, along with some Kona solids and other random, matching prints.

Well , that’s an amazing number of UFO finishes. All super.
Congratulations! You remind me how much I enjoyed making the one 2x4 quilt last year. Now I want to do another one.
Four fantastic finishes, Jennifer!! I think matching son/grandson quilts is a great idea. N would probably LOVE that!
Not only is it a big thrill to bust some stash and UFOs but it's even better when you know they will be put right to use! You really did a lot of good work this month, take a bow!
Those are all really nice quilts, but I adore those two “coffee” quilts!
