Two more small quilts --- burgundy and green



 I managed to get two small quilts finished yesterday.  We took a Staycation day!!!  

These two quilts feature premade panels.  I bought them together a while back and raveled them so I could use the panels in little quilts.  I had to figure out the angles for the first one to incorporate by panel.  I was fotunate to be able to use the off cuts from my first quilt to fill in the triangular spaces in my second quilt.  I added flannellette battings to both.  I added a warm brown backing to the first one and used it to bind it as well.  For the second one I used a coordinating floral fabric for the backing and stitched my pieces together and turned it inside out.  I stitched the outer edge to finish it off.  Also added a row of wavy decorative stitch about 3.5" from the edge and then added three row of straigh stitch on the green in the middle floral piece which was enough to quilt all the layers together.
