Friday Finish...Sort Of

Last summer, my good friend and fellow quilter, Vicki, suggested that we make the Good Fortune quilt together. We agreed to only sew on it when we could do so together. Between chatting, drinking coffee, eating and shopping, our sewing days weren't always  as productive as they could have been....but we've sure had some good times!
 This week, during our stitching day, we managed to add the final white border to our quilt tops.(Before lunch out and some shopping for our next project!) Here's Vicki's version using pretty soft pastels. I love it so!
I chose Flea Market Fancy for my version.
The colors in our quilts are similar and compliment each other, just like good friends. I'm going to call my quilt, Fortunate Friends!
Now to decide on binding and backing while I think about how I will quilt my top. 
Thanks for stopping by.....Hope you have a great weekend!

    Both quilts are so lovely!

    I read your blog but am not so great at commenting. I've been meaning to leave a comment to say congratulations on the birth of your new granddaughter. She's adorable, and your daughter is beautiful. I only wish I looked that good after giving birth to my kids! :)

    Oh wowza! Just beautiful - both of them! So great that you have a quilting friend to sew with! A blessing for sure! You are tempting me to stop all other projects and make one of these.... I MUST practice self-control! I sometimes feel like "Dug" the dog off of the UP movie... "SQUIRREL!"

    You ARE fortunate to have found such a friend - with a common interest in sewing and quilting, and who makes herself available for sewing days together. You have a rare and precious friendship that many of us do not experience. Keep appreciating and enjoying one another. The quilts you make together are beautiful!
