Finished Tops

I managed to finish a couple of tops that I did work on at retreat. One is a Blue Pineapple. Bonnie Hunter's pattern (http://www.quiltville.com/) but the borders are mine. It is huge. I think it will be a "what was I thinking" moment. It fits the queen, but I haven't actually tried it yet. This one has been sitting around for awhile. I wanted to do a blue quilt. Now maybe a green one...

 

This pattern is called Roy Rogers, and was from Quilting World mag. April 2009. I am looking for patterns to use up some of my novelty fabrics, and looking for something that is not really easy, but not going to take forever either. This fit that well. I am not too thrilled with the fabric placements, but I ran out of the brown AND the gray that's with the brown. I wanted to use the horseshoe fabric (set in triangles), and the cheddar someplace, Maybe just not there...

One wonders where inspiration comes from...

I was in St. Cloud awhile back, and we got to go see the horses. Always good photo opps. Quilters see patterns and colors everywhere...
