Finished piecing a couple of tops

Hubby was out hunting for a few days, so i decided to finish up some tops that had been languishing.....very close to finished.

These are just pieced, not quilted yet.

First there is Midnight. a pattern in a magazine...queen size. the magazine had the size 85x105 and i thought that was a narrow size, so i made mine 95x105...more queen size. cut little rectangles 3x5 1/2....large black rectangles 5 1/2 x 15......and sew for days and days. haha

Then, i was trying to use up some black selvages. this used a lot....but not enough...that dang black selvage box is still full.  i don't know how that is possible.

All have a red stripe in the middle. in the middle blocks i used selvages without the white section; then, in the border i used the selvages with the white part. 8" blocks. it is about 60x75"

A Blah, Blah, Blah selvage....i loved that fabric.

And, every quilt needs some zombies....right?

Today i guess it's back to quilting table runners for eBay and finding something else to take to the house to piece in the evenings.
