Gail's Ghouls & Fiddling with Finn

Well here is where I sit on this 5th day of the New Year. I have completed quilting The Anniversary Jacob's Ladder and am sewing the binding down intermittently while watching television. I loaded Gail's Ghouls, that is what I am calling it, maybe one of my blog readers can come up with a better name or maybe Gail has a name for the pattern that I am not aware of. Let me know. I can always change the name if something comes up that I like better. Gail should have first dibs on the name since it is her design. It was fun to make.

I am also working with the small squares I get from Finn last summer. While I was recovering she had posted on her blog if someone was willing to pay the postage they would receive small plaid squares usable for a quilt. Well I was fortunate enough to be the first to claim this treasure. I made 80 4 patches out of some of them and am now sewing them together in a pattern similar to one I saw on Quilting with Ragdolls, Oct 19,2007. I think I am going to like the outcome. I am just playing by ear so I don't really know what the results will be until completed.
I best get back to some housework. Unfortunately I don't have a wife so I am responsible for that also. Hubby helps but somethings men just don't get to.
Have a great evening and I will get pictures of completed quilts when done and I figure out where to photograph them now. I am afraid to do it in my usual place now that Hubby painted the family room. I had so many tack holes above the window. I really don't want to mess up his new paint job. I will figure something out.

Gail's Ghouls is hilarious! I'd love a better look at the pictures on the top and side border-they look marvelous from what I can see, and set at angles, too? Very clever.

Lovely quilts! So nice of you to think of your hubby and not put holes in his fresh paint job - but find someplace soon! I LOVE looking at your quilts. I only wish I could reach out and touch them.
