One of the four is basted. I was going to continue my assembly line, but I think I'm going to go ahead and finish this one and get it in the mail. It's for my Georgia brother, and he is probably the only one of the four who cares if he gets it now rather than later. It's not at its prettiest stage right now, hopefully even my mediocre FMQing will work it's magic. The Lands End flannel sheet that I'm using for backing sure does feel soft and cushy.
Then it will be on to my Florida brother and his son. I wish theirs were already done, as my nephew recently had an accident on his four wheeler and it fell on his head and damaged his ear about 30 something stitches worth. It's so lucky that he wasn't hurt worse. I don't think that he even knows he's getting one though so hopefully it will be a nice surprise and my goal is still to have theirs in the mail and hopefully received by the end of the month. The last one for my grandson will be hopefully done by then, too. It's for the grandson below in the red shirt with lots of pretty red curly hair.
Today I had my nose to the grindstone except when I got a visit from 2 grandsons, grand daughter-in-law, great grandbaby, and my daughter. It was a nice visit and my daughter had picked up a disc of pictures from Walmart. I'll try to add a couple to this post if I can make blogger like me, lol.
My daughter's children, six of my many grandchildren.

What a great looking quilt. That green stripe looks great as an inner border. What great family pictures to have. How many grandchildren are there all together?
Wonderful quilt! I'm sure your brother is going to luv it. Sorry to hear about your brothers accident. Yes, he was lucky it wasn't more serious. Great family photos!

The quilt is beautiful! I am so glad your nephew was not hurt more seriously. I am sure your brother and family will enjoy their quilt.
You have a very nice family!
Your quilt is one I've been wanting to make, and I love the colors! Will you hand quilt it?
The quilt is looking good and is bound to be much appreciated. What a wonderful lot of red hair your family have.
Great family photos. Love all the red hair. I'm sure everyone hears lots of comments about all the red heads in the family.
Your quilt looks great so far. I love the way you are basting it. I think I have so many flimsies because I don't like getting down on the floor and crawling around to pin baste.
What a beautiful family you have....
I just adore all that red hair.... I always wanted red hair. My father had red hair but I got left out.
I see your quilt is basted. I am headed into the next room now to START on mine. I don't think that I am as swift as you seem to be.....
Hi Candace,
