I still have Kansas Troubles and the like fabrics. I think this must be project 6. When I saw the tutorial for the Nine Sisters pattern on the Jordan Fabrics YouTube site it moved to the top of my list! This quilt is a queen size so I adjusted the corners from the pattern to have finished stars. Put a small cream border around it all and then the burgundy large border. I used my Elvira ruler and a straight edge to do the stars. The cream squares between the stars have a single star. The creams separating all the stars have a meander with scattered stars. The final border has "piano keys" at one inch and again scattered stars. My Aunt liked it so much she asked for one! Her's has a green border.

Hearts

My Aunt sent me this pattern. After raiding my friends red and buying the black and whites everywhere I went I got to work. After making the wall hanging I tackled the hearts. The pattern called for felt in the hearts. Since I didn't have a felt stash but did have a lot of red fabrics left I used them. In the evenings I would decorate hearts with beads, buttons and embroidery stitches. Tried not to go to the blanket stitch too much, but boy was it the easiest to fall back on. The pattern showed the stems and hearts in curves around the center heart. I just couldn't get that to look right. The heart garden came to mind because of a button project that we had done. That layout just felt right. Meander stitching in different sizes and echoing the hearts for the quilting finished this. My Aunt loves it. Here is a picture of the Hearts Garden project.

My favorite lap quilt

I have a lot of WIPs and UFOs so sometimes I need to do something that I can get finished relatively quickly for instant gratification. Jenny Doan's Jelly Roll Race is a perfect kind of project for when I'm feeling that way. I made this quilt using one Jelly Roll. I joined the ends like a bias binding strip and with the scraps that I cut off I made tiny half-square triangles that I used on the back. I didn't do much quilting at all. I just used one of my machine's wavy quilt designs but I used a pretty gold metallic on front and a darker purple on back. This is my go-to quilt pattern when someone asks me for a lap quilt but they want it quickly.

Burst

This is a pattern and kit called Burst from Quilt Addicts Anonymous by Stepahnie Soebbing. The pattern book- not cheap but SO well done in a block fo the month format- was easy to follow (when I decided to finally pay attention). I love the result and it went together really quickly.

Old Glory

Just finished this up for the 4th of July. I made a second one which is now at the Long Arm Quilter. It was really fun to make and will most likely be gifted. http://www.myquiltinfatuation.com/2018/07/old-glory-tutorial.html

Bargello Runner turned Tablecloth & Topper

This Bargello started out as a runner, for my long kitchen table. I wasn't happy that it didn't cover all the scuffs & scratches, so I turned it into a tablecloth. I also made a topper to match, for my kitchen window, that I may have to add in another post. Just not sure if can add all here.
