Last Minute Patchwork+Quilted Gifts

I purchased the book Last Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson in January. You can read more about the book at the Purl Bee. The photography by Anna Williams is beautiful, and the projects in the book are simple and elegant. Arranged in order of time it takes to complete, some are as simple as a pillowcase, and others are 12 hour+ quilts. These projects are right up my alley, since I like to make a lot of progress in a few days. Joelle also gives a basic introduction into patchwork and quilting how-to's and supplies. Here are a few of my completed Last Minute projects, and I've got many more in the plans.
