The Harlan Quilters completed piecing the strips on the Wallpaper quilts we started in April.

The first Monday of each month we create comfort quilts for members of our tiny community here in the coastal mountains of Western Oregon



Along with the piecing.....is lots and lots of pressing.
Kathi is working on the very pale strip quilt




Time to pin on the borders...
Frieda and Betty are working on the brighter strip quilt




Yes, lots more pressing...




Frieda and Betty have 2 borders added so far...



3 Borders.......it's beautiful!

Wish I could show you the completed quilt tops...

I will photograph the quilt tops next week and post them here.
