in my free time...

In my free time i was able to finish my hot air balloon quilt top. Originally it was only a single block. I wanted it to bigger so i made four blocks. It is pretty big. I am going to back it with fleece. I am waiting till next week when the fleece goes on sale! :o) I think the person i made it for will really like it! :o)
I also made Sarah a poncho. well actually this it the second one...the first one isn't quite finished yet, but she has been wearing it. The original fabric was furry fleece, backed with dora flannel. I returned those because i didn't want to mess with the furry fleece and got this fleece. she likes it!

I love the hot air balloon quilt. It is so refreshing and uplifting -- like you could float in the clouds. Glad you found some time for yourself to get to the quilt.

I love hot air balloons, they are always cheerful. Is this for a bed? It would look nice on a bed or on a wall.

thank you both! I must say it did turn out nice! the original pattern was for a wall hanging. the size right now is probably good for a large throw. Now to figure out how much fleece i need to back it! :O)
