Update: 12/7/21 My quilting is finished! I did decide to put a border on this quilt in a pink and white tiny floral print. I chose Clematis for the quilt pattern, with white thread. Very happy to be done with this quilt after almost one year! (Another star quilt! I have been working on this quilt top since December 2020. My hubby and daughter gave me two layered cakes for Christmas. The collection is called “Spring Fling” by Wilmington. I chose this pattern after viewing Jenny’s tutorial. It starts out as an Hour Glass pattern, then with additional cutting and sewing, you end up with the Disappearing Hour Glass. It is six blocks across, and seven blocks down. Each block size is 10.5” squared.)

Pumpkins on Cream II

I've made this several times. The original pattern calls for grey background. The cream is warmer. I'd like to make all my kids one for their homes. It finishes at 58 x 72 inches--very generous throw.

scrap pineapple

My scrap bins were getting a bit full. This small quilt was an attempt to reduce the abundance of scraps I have accumulated over the past five years when I began quilting. I contains a little fabric from almost every project. I really enjoyed making these blocks. I used the pineapple trim tool and made the blocks just a bit bigger by adding a few additional rounds of strips than the tool allows. The quilting is simple serpentine lines in each piece and small "carnations" in the red centers. This is a great block for using smaller scraps, the width of each strip used was 1.5 inches.

Grand baby Quilt

For my granddaughter arriving end of March. My son and daughter-in-law requested it have an owl on it. I found a picture of an owl that I liked and made the appliqué. I used fabric from my stash for this super simple quilt.

Scrap happy changing pad

So just playing around with scraps. I do a lot of baby quilts. But the next baby will get a quilt and this little changing pad. Measures 24 x24. Lots of times the changing table is across the house or upstairs. I thought this would be perfect to keep in a little diaper basket in the family room. Edited to add: This went out today to a new baby girl along with a very girly quilt. I told mom that for now it was a changing pad but little lady can use if for a doll quilt later on.

Good Night Irene

Using Lancaster fabric, I made this Good Night Irene (One of my favorite patterns) Finished at 64 x 64 inches square. It's been back from the long-arm girl for a bit, but for some reason I drag my butt on doing binding.
