Friday, April 3rd, lovely work from my friends

I know I have been remiss in posting for the past two days. Later today you will see why. But for now, I wanted to show you that my friends had fun while I was gone on vacation. THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED!!! I lay very strict rules down about such things, but just like kids needing cookies from the cookie jar, they never listen.
Our quilt group's quarterly project day was March 14th. It was interesting because you were to bring 12 fat quarters cut up for the quilt's requirements. The catch is, all of the fabric was put in to one pot and you picked strips randomly. There was a singular theme, which was tones of red, white and blue, but other than than, it was totally random. I planned on putting my fabric in, and actually cut up the fat quarters. But when I saw them all together, I couldn't part with them, so will make mine on my own. Mine were all civil war prints and are just too wonderful when laid out.
Here are two of the completed tops:
Celia on the left, Kathy on the right. (they are smiling!) I guess Colleen also struggled with giving up her fabric. I think they turned out great.
