    Default Two more tops

    Work has been driving me crazy recently (ok, crazier than usual...) and really bringing me down, so I decided to take a couple of days off to spend at my sewing machine and try to stitch myself into a more positive frame of mind. So far I've finished the piecing on these two tops below and just started another one today.

    This is one I started earlier in the month then got stuck on how to finish it. Thanks to everyone who steered me away from a purple border and into the land of royal blue. I really like how it looks.

    This next one is more subdued... I like the finished look but I don't think it's going to go to the intended recipient. I'd planned it for a friend's 5 yr old - a serious little soul, so I didn't want anything too child like or girly but I think I ended up with something that's too 'old' for her instead. Never mind, I have a polka dot charm pack in my stash that's just screaming to be unwrapped.

    Thanks for looking!

    What a great recovery from the crazies. Both of these are special.

    Those are really pretty. What is the pattern of the reddish one?

    Thanks Michelle! I got the idea from a free quilt pattern on Riley Blake website called Flight Plan
    http://www.rileyblakedesigns.com/med...sFreeQuilt.pdf

    I adjusted the sizes a bit to get the final blocks the size I wanted, and then I adjusted the sashing because I started to run out of fabric.... I think the block is technically a Churn Dash, it just has the HST with the darker half towards the center instead of towards the outside edge. Once I had the sizing figured out this was a great one to chain piece!
    Slainte!

    These are both great - but the first one is my favorite. So bright and cheery! Just looking at it would bring a smile to my face any time.
    Don't suppose they'd let you bring it to work and hang it on the wall?
