2008 Quilt #4

This Churn Dash quilt was the 4th quilt I managed to complete this week.
I have been collecting these black and white fabrics for many years. I love the variety of the prints.
Both boys need new quilts to take on the plane when we go back to Oz...the quilts that I originally made them 3 years ago are too small. Their legs hang out the end of the quilts (they are warmer than the plane blankets). So I am thinking of doing another churn dash, but maybe with some extra triangles...I need to have a play in EQ5 to see what I think.

edited: darn it, I have just picked up a mistake in my quilt, just by looking at the photo. It's far too late to fix it. I am sure only quilters will see the mistake! (to the quilters who see it...shhh, don't tell anyone, this is a gift for Phil's 10 year old nephew, Ryan!)

    At least the mistake is symmetrical. The quilts look brilliant - and the mistake is minor and proves you are human.

    The last plane I was on was so overheated I sweated the whole trip - Lufthansa too!

    I had to go row by row to find it - so it is not glaring!

    I too have a clooection of black & whites... I plan on doing something with them - eventually. (I need to finish a few "gottados" first.)

    You've been productive with 4 finishes. Don't you hate finding a mistake in a photo when you're done? I always find things in photographs that I don't find when looking at the quilt in person - when I think about it, I try to take a photo of my blocks arranged BEFORE sewing them together. (Of course, that doesn't help when I twist a block during the assembly process!)

    I love visiting here, you have so many pretty quilts and the socks look really warm. I enjoy knitting as well and very often make hats, scarves,and even socks...You also have a good looking family and those two boys must keep you very busy! Take care and quilty hugs
