There are no bad questions only those that are not asked.

The second one is a quilt I have made for a care and craft group to raffle, so anyone wanting tickets pm me and I will give you contact details for that raffle. My friend is one of the organisers for them, and I have been given a lot of material from that group. 3rd one is a grandsons quilt with a scene in the middle that has kiwis under the trees, by a lake. then each corner is a different tree, and the left hand one has an apple tree with his family up to great- great- grandparents on the apples in it. The rest of the blocks are NZ birds, kiwi, fantails, etc.
The bottom quilt was made for his mother who is our youngest daughter, and she picked the colours and the pattern. Now I have started a baby cot quilt for a baby due now, and then will do one with scenes of Wellington harbour, boats, planes etc, am using a pattern I have here that I used for the tractor quilt, so not too big, but the applique will be different, and I have to draw the whole lot of pictures that I will be using. That one will probably take me a little while!!!!

I have yet to make a full sized quilt (just done smaller wallhangings), but have plans to make heaps! So many ideas, so little time....

One trick I find useful is to always leave your work so that you're ready to start straight in when you return - e.g., if I'm sewing blocks, I try to make sure that I have some pinned ready to stitch in those 15 minutes or so. Or have things pressed ready to cut, etc.
Rae, your description of the way you quilted your grandson's quilt sounds a bit like that 'quilt as you go' method. I have several books on that and have always meant to try it.
3 girls farming - your post made me laugh. Sorry, but I could just picture it.
Cheers, Mich.
