Winding Ways

One of my boxes of collecting fabrics were some wonderful blues. But, I had no clue what to do with them. The Winding Ways pattern intrigued me; but I like to have a recipient in mind before embarking on a quilt. I seem to get them completed in a more timely manner. My Sister-In-Law was excitedly showing me her collection of Blue Danube dishes...blue and white! I looked around and egads! Her whole house was pretty much in blue and white! I peaked in her bedroom; queen sized! I contacted a niece for Sister-In-Law's children's phone numbers and I texted them. The agreed to pay the amount to finish the quilt and I set off. Man, this pattern really was difficult in that the curves had to be right to come out at the centers! Did the flip flop of the centers to get them as flat as possible. Using Google images I looked at a lot of these quilts quilting. A meander distorted the curves. So, I quilted a 1/4 inch from the seams (echoed) and highlighted all the curves. It actually helped to even them out. In the border I used elements of the dishes to create a continuous line. Her kids gave it to her at Christmas. She claimed she won! Another Sister-In-Law wanted everybody to pass their present to the left so she would end up with the quilt.

Ken's Quilt

Another from the Kansas Troubles bin. I swear these fabrics are reproducing faster than I can figure out what to do with them. This quilt was for my Father-In-Law. He is 95 and needed to move from a small apartment to assisted living. Because of the massive decrease in space he went from a queen bed to a twin. I promised him a new quilt. It is again from a block I saw; really no idea at this point. The quilting is a simple stitch in the ditch to make the stars jump out. He since has had to move into a care facility and the quilt is back in my possession.

Trail Mix

Occasionally I dig through my fabrics and "retire" pieces that won't go together or are too small. This becomes my stash bin to create lap sized quilts that I use for practice on different quilting designs for a big project. When I get a stack of these I give them to my daughter who takes them to various Nursing Homes. Great practice size and has an end purpose. I'd come across the Trail Mix pattern and thought it would be a fantastic use it up stash quilt. The first one was for a friend. This one was to use up more of the Kansas Troubles fabrics I had leftover from other projects and be given to a cousin. He was very appreciative.

Pansies and Tulips

This started out as the log cabin block for a gift exchange in 2018. I liked it! Then I saw the tulip block and the idea was born! I just kept adding borders until I got to a king sized quilt. Then it sat for a year, even was sandwiched, while I decided how to do the quilting. As the State and then country went into lockdown I decided now was the time to clean up my projects and use up stash. It was easy to decide on the feathers for the center and then I did a lot of stitch in the ditch for the black borders. One of the flower borders I made my own tulip template! Then my quilting machine had to make two trips to the Dr! Was able to finish the last of the feathers before second trip. The last was all finished on my domestic. Poor thing! It was a trouper.

Garden Stroll

Update: I finished hand binding this quilt. My friend (Patti Hutchins) free motion quilted daisies on this quilt on her long arm. I just finished piecing this Garden Stroll quilt top from American Patchwork and Quilting June 2013. I fell in love with this pattern when I saw it online. I used fabrics in teal, turquoise, aqua, and burgundy through light pink. I added two additional borders to make it queen size. This quilt is for my mother in law. 95" square

Turn Style Plus

I used RWB yardage and some flag print fabric to make this patriotic Turn Style. I used sashing with cornerstones to bring it up to the size I wanted using just 20 blocks.

Garden Path Chicken Quilt

A friend asked me to make a quilt for his wife. She raises chickens, so that became my inspiration. Front is whimsical, back is more literal. The Garden Path pattern is from a book called 3 yard quilts. I would call them (3) 1 1/2 yard quilts. Especially if you want a double fold binding (pattern called for single fold 1 1/2" binding) and I was an inch short getting the large blue blocks, due to a large selvage on the fabric. it made a nice size quilt, 61 x 42

Hour glass

This is my hourglass quilt. I started out with two cakes and mixed dark and light but decided there was not enough contrast so I added an extra border.
