Friday finishes !

I love posting "Friday Finishes" ...how about you?

Just in case you are wondering....I have not finished DayDream....maybe never will HaHa!

I have finished "Java" ...

The jelly roll was a Christmas gift from my 28 yr old son...yes he ventured into the quilt shop all by himself and picked it out!!! And when I was sewing this, my daughter kept saying how much she loved these colors....so  ....

 Happy Birthday Sweet K!!

Also finished is the Magic 4-patch. I have called it "Butterscotch Hug".

It is for a very special young woman. Lady A was my sons girlfriend for 6 years, and although it is not my position to question their decision to break up, I miss her, so wanted to give her a "hug" that would last forever... or at least a few years.

    Java and Butterscotch, Beautiful Finishes! Both are stunning quilts, lovely fabrics.
    I hope you will finish your lovely DayDream quilt. That fabric collection was one of my favorites.

    "Java" is very lovely, but I simply adore "Butterscotch Hug". Is that fabric by Fig Tree? I love the soft colors they make and this looks like them. Sweet story about the girlfriend, too. We do seem to get mixed emotions regarding our children's ex's, don't we?

    I voted for your lovely "Hearts In A Box" quilt at the Quilt Gallery tonight. I entered one, also. My second attempt...it's kind of fun and I'm trying to get up enough nerve to enter one in our County Fair next year.

    Both quilts are so nice. Did you get the first one from just one Jelly Roll? The second is a very thoughtful gift. There have been a few girls in our sons lives that we wondered why it didn't work.

    They are both beautiful. I really love the colors in the second one. I think that is so sweet that you are giving her a "hug"!
