I love the bright colors of these 10# squares. Because stars were a repeated design element that became a natural choice for the quilting.

Comfort Quilt

A dear friend is battling cancer. I wanted to make her a quilt to wrap up in as she undergoes chemo. This fabric is bright and cheery. I love all the positive messages on the backing.

Dinosaur Fun!

There was only one yard of this cute fabric. I figured out how many blocks I could get out of what fabric I had and created a pattern to set off the blocks. I like the the rainbow fabric with the dinosaur print.

Grandmother's Fan

I loved this fabric line from Riley Blake and decided to make the charm squares into a Grandmother's Fan quilt. I wanted the edges to be finished so I made points from the Dresden Plate tutorial. If I were to make this quilt again I would just turn the edges under and keep the curve in the fans so that it would show off the fabric more. I also needed to cut down my background squares so that there wouldn't be so much white. I love the feathery quilting. It really made this into an elegant, old-fashioned quilt with bright happy fabrics.

Tulips for Ally

I loved this fabric line and bought the charm packs several years ago. When I saw the Totally Tulips tutorial I knew this was the quilt to make with the fabric. It is a gift for my granddaughter Ally.

A Quilt for Daisy

I used leftovers from another project to make a quilt for a granddaughter named Daisy. The quilter even chose a stitch pattern with daisies.

New Life for an Old Quilt

I made this memory quilt 30 years ago and it was in major disrepair.. I cut off the edges to make a lap quilt out of the original queen size quilt. I sewed on a new border. I used pieces that had been trimmed off to patch up the back. I covered some small holes with yo-yos to create bubbles and patched the fish with contrasting fabric. I replaced the original ties with crochet floss and did some hand quilting around the new border. Now this quilt can be enjoyed by the next generation.

Patriotic Fun

I was able to make this wall hanging from some leftover blocks from another quilt i made with the Yellow Brick Road pattern. I even had enough leftover fabric for the borders and backing. I especially love the quilting design.

Bug Jars for Baby

I started collecting fabrics fourteen years ago then injured my back and had to have surgery. It was several years before I could sit at the sewing machine. The children I was making jar quilts for are all grown up. I guess I will be making bug jar baby quilts!

Grow!

I fell in love with this retro line but didn't want to cut it up too much because of the big flowers so I just left the squares as they were.
