I pulled out the first two quilt tops; my stack-n-whack and one called Sunshine & Blue Skies, a blue and yellow split nine patch. The nine patch will probably be first to get quilted. It'll be the easier of the two. Here's a picture of that one in my webshots folder, here. It doesn't look very complicated, does it? I kept thinking I wanted some wavy lines in the blue for water and some kind of sun thingie in the yellow. I'll probably meander it. lol But it'll be done, right?
But this darned stack-n-whack...well, that's a different story. I can figure out the stars. I'll just go around the designs in each block. But there is so much room around the outside edges. I didn't want to just meander it but I guess that's what I'll do so it's out of the bin! I'll just keep telling myself that "Meandering can be your friend!!"

Both quilts are wonderful and need to be quilted and out where they can be admired. I do agree with you that you need to "get over" the fancy quilting everyone else does and just git em done!!!
The tablecloth is great....It would look nice in my kitchen too :)

Wow, I give you a lot of credit for quilting your own quilts! I took a class, but that's one thing I can't/don't want to do.
Your quilts are gorgeous!!!

I love your Sunshine and Blue Skies quilt....I'm a bit like you. I love the process of building the quilt top, chosing the colors, cutting, trimming, sewing the piecies together....all that, but that's as far as I "want" to go....LOL....I love looking at all my quilt tops.....crazy but true.
