Roll of Nickels

Crosses and Dots

Here’s two more completed quilts for The Double Nickel Quilt Challenge.  The first Roll of Nickels quilt is here.  We decided to do a slightly different quilting design for the second one, Overlapping Squares Meander.  It adds great texture to the homespun fabric while staying soft and cuddly after washing.

Crosses and Dots is another E2E combining Freehand Spirals with an occasional flower.

The back is white, too!

I love the white on white stitching but what if it I had used a pale yellow or blue thread?  That could have been fun!

Can you believe we’re to the end of January?  Hope you’ve had a great start to 2012!  We’ve had a pretty exciting month, highlighted by sending our daughter to England to study abroad, going to a 3 day quilting retreat and visiting our son in Orlando.  And thankfully, I was able to finish 8 customer quilts!  I still have some Loose Ends to work on but maybe I’ll finish one next month!

Thanks for looking and just keep stitchin’
