Getting there...

I am back to my one patch quilts.  I find it so fun to pick out the fabrics, cut and lay out the squares...but then you have to sew them all together.  Boring!  But I have applied myself to the task and made some progress.  It helps to have the Phillies game on in the background. 


The pink and brown is done, except for a border.  I think it will be one of the following browns.




The other one, which has even more squares, is getting there.

    Sew pretty, I love the pinks and browns. I like the darker brown in the first picture, wonder which one you will choose! Sometimes sewing the pieces does get tiresome, but the end product is soooooooooo worth the work!

    I like the first dark brown too. Wonder how the second quilt will be bound? Cute; both of them! ---"Love"

    I agree that there is nothing quite like a basic little one patch quilt...so simple yet so striking. Yours are wonderful, especially the pink and brown one (a favorite combination of mine!) Can't wait to see them both finished :)

    It may be boring but it's a quick finish and great results - strawberries and chocolate sauce or tutti frutti! Well that's what they make me think of!

    I love these little quilts and have 1 1/2" pieces cut so I can make some whenever I get around to it.

    I like the green background with the little flowers. I think it is #3 in the background auditions. It makes the colors glow!

    These little one piece quilts are so cute. Love the pinks and browns! I like the dark brown border.

    How can you say sewing pieces together is boring? No...sewing borders on a queen size quilt...THAT is boring! I love the darkest brown in the first photo - it really sets off the quilt. Such a cute quilt.
