When I saw this block I had to try it. Using more leftovers from my stash I was able to make a large throw size quilt. On a previous quilt I purchased an Omnigrid triangle tool with lots and lots of grid lines that I could first use to square up the bottom edge of the units and then use a Clearly Perfect Slotted Trimmer after it was a HST. Really helped make sure I had a good point on the bottom so the secondary pattern worked out. Like usual, purple is very hard to photograph; first is washed out and second looks very grey.

Leftovers!

This is mainly constructed from the leftovers from other projects. I saw a quilt on the wall at a quilt store and thought, "Ah Ha!" I know what to do with all those white with black and the brights from a quilt for my Aunt. I did have to buy the yellow for the border, but all the rest came from leftovers or stash. Including the antique fabric from my Mom's Stash I used for the backing! One of those old border fabrics meant for a dress or skirt from the 70's. I did a medium meander through the body, shadowing all the bright squares to they would pop. Then I just played in the yellow border. Swirls, hooks, and feathers with an occasional heart thrown in.

Mood Ring

I love hexagon quilts and wanted to make one that was actually a hexagon shape instead of a square! This quilt is 159" around and the quilting is 1/8" apart spiral "polygons" in the "Mood Ring" itself. Not very easy to do on a domestic machine that has a lot of bulk! Someday I'll own a mid or long-arm . . . LOL! No. 20, 21 and 22 of my "I Walked the Line" Walking Foot Challenge. You can see more of my quilts at nlowequilts.com

Bolt of Questionable Fabric!

Another from my Mother’s stash that I really wondered what to make or even do with it. An idea I had meshed well with a friend’s proposed Magic 8 lesson for our quilting group. We gave each member two 8 inch squares and a specific HST block pattern. We asked them to use one cream or white neutral and then something that matched in a darker color. When all the blocks came in I was charged with assembly and quilting. Well, some of the blocks were small and a few others had hard to make it work colors. I disassembled them and remade them. Layout was pretty easy, I just scattered the darkest purples to give it balance. Then a bunch of borders later it was ready to be quilted. Because of all the thickness at the seams I knew the center could only be quilted with a meander. I put my feathered hook in the cream border and more meander in the outside border. This poor fabric actually made a pretty quilt! So, pull out that weird fabric in your stash and give it a chance.

Hexing Hexies

Purple Table Runner

Mom's projects. This is another project where I needed to finish by doing the quilting. Then we were stuck, the project was old enough I really didn't think we would find the funny blue/purple we needed to bind it. But, the there it was in the last store of the day!

Kitchen Table

This is another of my Mom's projects. She had all of the embroideries complete and even some of the quilting. I finished the quilting, binding and even and enough left to make an apron with a stray Embroidery. When I showed it all to my Mom she said that is exactly what she was thinking she would do with the stray embroidery.

Mug or Wine Rugs

I had just a bit of 2 1/2 strips from the "You had me at Wine" fat quarter that I used to make my placemats and found some stash of grape clusters with leaves for the back . So made 6 wine or mug or drink mug rugs.

Starburst

My husband lost a lot of weight and his jeans no longer fit, so now I had a bunch of jeans to get rid of. Made the starburst quilt for my daughter.

My Crumb Blocks

I never really thought I would like making crumb blocks until I tried. After watching Misty and the Quilting Marine, I have become an addict for them! I am a veteran and even though I never experienced the level of PTSD as a lot of my fellow veterans, I find the process quite calming.

Red White and Blue Frenzy

I am still working on using up materials I have on hand. I saw this pattern on Pinterest and loved the simplicity. It also reminds me of the great country we live in.
