South west cross quilt

I found some woven striped fabric at a mill end store. I used it to make some interesting wonky crosses. I made pillows a couple of months ago and now have completed the throw quilt. I used wool batting and green minky on the back. I watched a tutorial about continuous bias binding and it worked out perfectly. I think the binding is my favorite part of the quilt. ( the look, not the application of it...)

Pink and gray star quilt

I used fabric from my stash and a side kick ruler for this quilt. I experimented with triangles and diamond shapes. One of my favorite parts of quilting is designing the project. I design as I go using a design wall. There are a lot of y seams in this piece, I learned it is important to back stitch the partial seam so is does not separate when quilting. I also learned that heavy quilting covers a multitude of piecing imperfections........
