{Post #978} Grad Quilt Back & Bargello

So the last few days my sewing has been devoted to finishing the quilt top and back for Susie's graduation quilt.  The idea is to put names of party-comers on the quilt front in the light yellow strips.  The back is for the party-comers (or would that be go-ers?) to write their well wishes.  We contemplated having individual blocks.  She decided she wanted the whole back pieced ahead of time.  I'll frame it with more of the golden grass print.  A little odd, but I like it!!  Close up and then the whole thing:

Here is another panel finished for my Scrappy Bargello.  Need two more uphill sections for this:

It measures 80-1/2" tall and 48" wide right now.  There are two downhill panels on the right.  That will be rectified later!

Off to watch a movie with Susie!

{Post #977} Susie Graduation Quilt

Here is my Susie's graduation quilt (wall hanging).  She just has a couple week of high school left.  We went fabric shopping last week.  She picked out all the colors.  Why do I think that does not come as a surprise?


This is a simple Rail Fence block.  The blocks are 6" unfinished, set on the diagonal.  She is going to write the names of well-wishers that come to her graduation party on the light yellow rails.  I am piecing the back with 4" x 6" snowball blocks for people to sign.

More pictures after I get the last couple rows sewn on and borders added.  


The idea we have is to have the quilt top on display on my design wall at the party with a table in front of it for signing blocks for the back.  I think it will work.
