Tractors Are Finished!

The tractor quilts are finished. I think the borders make a nice frame to the center. They measure 45" by 49".
They definitely look like autumn with the fall leaf fabric.
Again I took pictures in the cornfield.

 They both look exactly alike but there is different fabric used for the 'mud'.

 One of the quilts will be sent to Pennsylvania to be quilted for the grands school auction.

 The other quilt will be long armed quilted and donated to a fund raiser at our church.
Here is a picture taken further back so you can have a better perspective.

 This corn was planted late in the growing season, the first of June. We were concerned we might have an early frost but that hasn't happened. Now the corn has matured so, let it frost!

 The outside of this field was chopped and blown into the silo as silage to feed the cows this winter. The rest of the corn will be shelled and used in the cow feed ration.

    Love these two tractor quilts!! Thank you also for the link to Counted Quilts for these and other cute patterns. What a delight to see what all was available on her site. Hope the frost stays away till everything is safely harvested with your corn.

      Thanks for your remarks. I should have made myself more clear, the corn has matured and frost won't hurt it now.

    Your tractors are really fun. I love the way you posed them for the photo. I'm sure glad the frost held off until the corn was ripe.

    They are so cute. I have one started, need to get it done as well as 3 more. If I get them done before Christmas they will be the best loved Christmas gift for the grandsons. All depends on how long my overtime lasts.
