Updates on my HAD quilts

Here is the latest on my Hour A Day quilts so graciously offered to us by Judy at Sunshine Quilts.This is the one I made following the February pattern. I choose to use pinks in hopes of using up alot of the pink fabric I have collected through out the past few years. I did use up lot of the pink but I am still drowning in it. I will keep plugging away on using it up. This top is not quilted yet, which means you will be seeing it again when it is quilted and completed.
Here is my completed November pattern. This quilt was given the name " Gratitude's" and was alot of fun to make. I like how it turned out. As above, I choose to use green because I have seemed to collect quite abit of green also. I might just have to put this one out for March, it looks like it could represent St. Patricks day well.

Here is a picture of my completed HAD, the very first one Judy offered to us. I liked making this quilt and my husband really likes it. I was considering donating to charity but might have to keep it for hubby.
I want to thank Judy for these wonderful patterns and I look forward to the next one. Her patterns are great, instructions are very easy to follow and if you keep up you will have a beautiful quilt top at the end of the month. I have enjoyed looking trough blogs and seeing how different all the tops look just by the fabric choices. Martha at Quiltcontemplation has made a really neat one with hand dyed fabrics. Beth at bzyqltr is in the process of making a very patriotic version. JoAnn at Rockin' on the Porch has a beautiful version using black, blue, burgundy and white. Last but not least, (there are probably more out there I just don't have time to research right now) is Gail at Going to Pieces, hers is very stunning with the black,red and yellow. Enjoy looking at all these quilts, you might have to scroll down a bit to find the posts but it is well worth the time.
Enjoy the day.

They all look great, but I think I like the pink the best. Funny, I'm not a pink girl -- you never know what's going to strike your fancy *s*

Those are lovely. I've watched as many have made them and might jump in and make one one of these days.
