6 Month Procrastination Quilts

One of the big projects for the house that I've been avoiding recently was making some quilts for our bedroom.  I picked out some patterns and fabric, then I decided I wasn't so sure about them and I was nervous about quilting king sized quilts on my machine at home, also I just have to have something to procrastinate about.

I eased into it with a box full of scraps.

I did some improvisational strips.

And picked out some backing and binding.

And I got to practice some of my free motion quilting!

I could use a little more practice.

I finally got around to basting and quilting this big guy, of which I took no pictures.

This is the other king size quilt I made. Apparently, this is the only picture I took. It's a whole cloth quilt with Team Sunshine Fuzzy Bunny embroidered on it.  Taking no pictures is obviously a theme.

I finally finished this crochet pillow, which I started working on LAST CHRISTMAS.  That's more than a year ago.  Efficiency at its finest.

And the back.

I'm just going to be rude and not post a bunch of pictures of all of the quilts being finished since pretty soon it'll be time to show off the whole house!  Eep!

Also, I kept my quilt procrastination down to only 6 months.  Win.
