I had cute fabrics for the quilts in stash so I decided to make them fast & easy using YBR [Yellow Brick Road pattern]. I have only ever made one quilt from this pattern several years ago, as below,


So this seemed like a good opportunity to pull out the pattern and give it another go & boy is it speedy! I made these both from cutting to binding this week beginning Tuesday I think & all I have left to do are the dreaded labels, it's the "L" word!
The first one is for baby Nicholas......
I am well satisfied with this week's work - in addition to two baby quilts all done, I have hand stitched about halfway around the edge of the KS Lover's Knot. DH had surgery at Mayo Clinic hospital Monday & I sat around for over six hours & occupied myself hand stitching.
Tomorrow I am off to Tucson for their quilt show & my friend is driving so I plan to work at finishing off the Lover's Knot quilt.
We're staying overnight at a historical hotel downtown Tucson so that should be fun and a chance to spend some time with a friend I don't see very much.

I haven't tried the Yellow Brick Road yet though I do have the pattern and fabric. Perhaps that will be done this year.
Hope DH is doing well and that you enjoy your time in Tucson with a friend.
I have that pattern also, and am looking forward to some stashbusting with it! Your quilting certainly finishes them off beautifully!!
Hoping your time in Tucson is relaxing and full of little happy memory-making moments!
Happy Quilting! :)
