I finished up these three quilts in the last two days. Two of them I just did tonight!  Just goes to show that it doesn't take too long to get them quilted.  This Halloween one has hung there for over a year.  I got it and then didn't get it quilted in time for Halloween last year and figured what is the rush?  I have plenty of time to get it done for October.  Well, October is almost here again and I didn't want to miss it again so figured I'd throw it on the machine and had it done in 15 minutes.  So, how long does it take to quilt a quilt?  One year, 3 months and 15 minutes.
I got this quilt top finished up today as well.  I started working on it this weekend and have been plugging away 15 minutes at a time.  These guys take about an hour to make and are pretty mindless.  Of course, I did have to rip out a couple of seams because I sewed them together backwards, but then a quilt really isn't finished until you have ripped a seam or two right?
I think I will throw one more quilt on the machine to be ready for tomorrow and pick out some border fabric for the quilt top above.  I also need to cut some fabric scraps.  They are taking over the kitchen table.  Would be nice to be able to see that again one of these days!  If only I had a Go! fabric cutter to help me out.  I've entered so many contests I'm sure to win one someday.
