Full Disclosure

Hmmm....I wanted to take a photo of all the quillows together, but I knew I would have to mail the first ones out before I was finished the last ones. My solution? Once they were all quilted, DH and I laid them out to take photos of them. 

DH's first idea was arches, but he didn't have good luck doing that. Then he wanted to lay them next to each other.

That makes for a really weird photo. 

I wanted them laid out like a donut, in a ring.

Now that's a great photo, and lots of people agreed with me. I put it up on a couple Facebook quilt groups, and it caught lots of attention! I mean a LOT of attention. Last I looked it had over 3000 likes, almost 300 comments, and it had been shared over 50 times. I did not volunteer that the quillows were not finished, but if you read my blog, here's my confession. 

While my online photo was blowing up, I was busy getting some of these finished. All they needed in the photo was a pocket and binding. Not difficult, but there are 15 to finish. 

This was the first I finished. All the rest have pockets that match the backing when the quilt is open, but with the amount of gray fleece I had left that wasn't happening. This is the only quillow that has both sides of the pocket done in quilting cotton. 

This is one I finished today, but I took a photo just before I pinned the pocket into place. The other side of the pocket (the side that shows when its a pillow) is a print, but when the quillow is a quilt it blends in. That was my plan all along. 

Here are five finished quillows, and I've got three more currently in the washer. Eight done, seven more quillows to finish. I've been pretty easily finishing two per day, so I'm hoping to get the last one finished on Saturday. My out of town company is being delayed, so I've got some extra time now. If I don't get the last one finished on Saturday it's not a big deal. I only have one more to finish that needs to be mailed, and that should be finished tomorrow. 

Now I've got to work on getting all the Christmas boxes to be mailed all packed and addressed!
