Finish it up Friday!

With all the snow we've had since Sunday, I just had to take pictures outside. Granted, I was standing in snow up to my knees, but it was worth it, no?

Here are my two finishes. Before you get all impressed, I did not start and finish these in one week. I finished them last week. They were started many moons ago, but sat waiting for me to get up the nerve/get the right sewing machine so I could machine quilt them. My little Husky that pieced them would not have been able to quilt them. Thank goodness for the Juki!

My chimneys and cornerstones quilt:


My red and aqua matchbox quilt:

Side by side in all their bright loveliness!

I backed the matchbox quilt in a red polka dot, but went with aqua flannel for the chimneys quilt.

And I'm just seeing some irony that I finished these two together: matchbox and chimneys? Yes, I am a pyromaniac. But not with my quilts.

Linking up with Finish It Up Friday at crazymomquilts. Here's hoping I've got something to show next week!
