These tinman blocks were pieced in the '90's, and were intended as part of a two-sided quilt with a friend from Oklahoma. That project never came to fruition.
A couple of months ago, I was thinking about UFOs, and put these up on the design wall. My granddaughter loved them, and since her favorite color is red, I chose to border in reds.
The top is 60" square, and will make a nice napping size quilt for her.

I have to say that I kept looking at the tin men (before reading the post) trying to figure out what they were....houses, churches, etc. How nice that you granddaughter loves the quilt and how nice that you got to finish up a UFO. As for the baby quilt....cute, cute, cute. Congrats on the new grandbaby, too.
Both of them look great! I'm sure that green will look even better after the Seahawks win the superbowl! lol
Those tin men are eye catching! I like the blue and green baby quilt, too - but I'm cheering for Peyton...
I think the Tin Man could be the first of a Wizard of Oz series of quilts! Love it!
I REALLY like your tinman quilt ! I made one back in Oklahoma in 1990...what is it about OK and this design? Anyway, mine had scrappy sashing and looked really different.
But I love how yours has such a graphic look with each block linked right up to the next. Super cool !
Happy New Year Jan!
your tin man quilt is so charming! love the borders.
Cute baby quilt Go Seahawks!
i love your tin men
Nice tin man! I love that pattern (I also pieced a small quilt of those in the 90's). Very vintage and very fun. Nicely done, and doesn't it feel good to work on a UFO? Well done, indeed!
What a beautiful, unusual quilt that tin man is - love it! And the crib quit is a beauty too - so cheerful.

I LOVE the tin men--glad you finished it!
