Camille and Carrie are putting on a ‘Quilt Parade’ over on their blogs. The Parade is your first and last quilt. Since i finished a quilt yesterday, that makes it a little easier on me. 
1st quilt. I have 2. One that i did finish first and then one that i was working on at the same time as the first one, but it took a year or two…ok it took 7 years to finish it up. Gosh, big deal. Why is everyone so worried about the details. But it really is in the same realm. So you get doubley firsts. So there.
1st first: table Top. A bunch of scissor cut 1 1/2 inch squares. There is not one nice square in there. But i keep it and i use it!! lots. 1996 or 1997 sometime. 25X 25 inch trying to be square.
2nd first: Started 1997 finished 2004
The little people are what gave me such greif!! it was suggested by a friend to just put ‘grass’ at the bottom of their feet since none of them matched. So i did and then finished! took 7 years to figure that one out. Again- little squares and not perfect, but it is Jerika’s. Size: 50X60 inch.
Last quilt finished: IN THE LEAFY TREETOPS
It was done for the Make a Long challenge. All the applique are raw edge. It has been washed and dried and then ragged a little bit. It needs some more scrubbing along the edges though. It is so summery! i love it. It is currently residing in my room on the reading chair. It is made with some of the sheet fat quarters from a swap.
**Would you like a little sew along or free pattern with this one? I am willing to share this time
**edit–i will be sharing! how about that? Maybe next week, since this week i will be finishing up the Cranky Quilt–come back and check it out why don’t ya?!**
I love them all! The first two pieced quilts are wonderful but I really love your most recent quilt. The pieced backing behind the applique is really beautiful ~ and it makes the whole quilt something really amazing!
Thank you for sharing your quilts ~ I have really enjoyed them.
I would love a pattern for that one – it's very clever, and something I haven't tried before!

LOL — Trying to be square. Love it.. It shows you have a lot of determination cutting out those squares w/scissors. I'd have given up after 1 or 2 and wonder — who said I want to quilt… ha ha… But you did so you go girl.
Love the applique w/raw edges…It's darling.
i would love this pattern…this is gorgeous. i love the raw edges, and the vintage sheets looks so pretty
Love your quilting progression! And the Leafy Treetops quilt is very precious!
Good job on both. We learn by doing! Love the sheets. I remember them from my youth.
Had such a wonderful time looking through your blog. Love your 1st and last quilts. You do beautiful work.
Wow, your Leafy Treetops quilt is gorgeous!
[...] looks just like this! mine isn't nearly as decorated though. Bling [...]
