Boy, photographing a queen-size quilt is a challenge. I finally hung it from the rain gutter, above the garage door. I really love how this turned out. It's a housewarming gift for a great couple.
I had 6 quilts to put the binding on and this is #5, only one more to go, and it's another Best Friends quilt.

It's binding time! These six quilts need binding! Two are queen-size and the others are lap quilts. I better get busy because my LAQ has six more; three will be ready at the end of June and three will be ready at the end of July.

I'm making two of these Best Friends Quilts at the same time. This is the first quilt top assembled. I included the bottom photo so you could see how freakin' big this is! I didn't measure it, but it's supposed to be 96 inches square. Talk about fabric-wrangling!
Now, to work assembling the second quilt top.

I decided to do the Best Friends Quilt Along, sponsored by the Fat Quarter Shop. I did a fabric pull from my stash, including 2 different quilt kits that I decided not to make.
Then I got busy. I decided to make 2 sets of everything, so I will end up with two Queen-size Quilts. The blocks are all paper-pieced, the first block was a Log Cabin. Here are my 24 Log Cabin Blocks.
I just laid them out willy-nilly! They turned out to be Improv Log Cabin blocks because I made an error and didn't want to use ...
