My son just completed his PhD in molecular biology. So I looked for a DNA quilt pattern and found this free pattern from In the Beginning Fabrics. All the fabrics and pattern are from their website. The quilt is 98" x 74". It is machine pieced and quilted on my domestic machine.

Optics

I tried my hand at a transparency quilt and designed this. It's 60 x 72" and entirely pieced, no applique! I submitted this quilt to a magazine but it wasn't accepted, whew thinking it over now there's no way I'd want to write a pattern for this. www.quiltachusetts.com

HUA

I wanted to challenge myself with an optical illusion quilt. This was a free pattern on Craftsy translated via Google into English. A bit difficult to understand but after discussing with another quilter, was able to figure it out. It was a light bulb moment when the pattern clicked in my brain! Hawaiian fabric backing, purchase in Honolulu.

"Kinabalu" (Jinny Beyer)

Still feeling pretty new to quilting, I try to learn a different technique with each quilt I make. This was my first log cabin; a curved log cabin, I guess it's called. It is queen size and used in the guest bedroom of our home. It uses a border fabric for the triangle accents on each block. This was my first try at a modified feather in the quilting.

Grandma Mary's Five Patch

This was a flannel quilt kit from Keepsake Quilting that I saw last year and it said screamed my daughter's name. She is in love with her cats and is also always cold so what could be better than a cozy flannel quilt to snuggle under while watching movies in this cold Winter weather.

Holly Jolly

A local quilt shop offers a Strippers club every other month. This was last December's. I took my other half with me to the demo and he loved it so I bought the strip set and made it. The back is from fabric that he bought shortly after we met and hung it over his curtain rods when I came over for Christmas. That fabric has followed us around the world. For a few years (before I started sewing and quilting) I used to wrap it around the bottom of our Christmas tree as a make shift tree skirt. The red and white fabric is left over from my younger daughters tree skirt I made 2 yrs ago.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

A quilting buddy gave me this Christmas panel last year but being a 'newbie' at quilting I didn't know what to do with it. Then I saw the MSQC attic window tutorial and problem solved - except I didn't have any concept of how large it would become. Way too big for a wall hanging so I decided to add some blocks to the side, and an outer border to give it more width and I have a Christmas snuggle quilt! I used silver metallic thread to quilt snowflakes on it.

Christmas Panel Quilt

This is the Christmas Quilt I made to keep. I got the pattern from the fabric manufacturer's website. It was for a smaller panel so I had to add the sashing on the sides to get it to fit. I love the way it turned out and I'm keeping this one for my own Christmas quilt.

Dragons

My oldest son loves dragons and when I found these paper piecing patterns I knew that they would look great as pillows.

My first Bargello

My DH saw this pattern while I was browsing pinterest and said "I want a quilt like that!". So I decided I would surprise him at Christmas. I started it at the M* fall forum and finished it while he worked nights. I got it done two days before Christmas! He loves it and I discovered bargellos aren't that difficult after all.
