GiGi's Jewelry Box
This quilt is based on the Fons & Porter "Strippy Diamonds" quilt from (I believe) the Spring 2014 edition of "Quilting Quickly" magazine. Joel Dewberry's "True Colors" line for Free Spirit fabrics was a perfect complement for the decor in my mother's library, so I began this quilt as a birthday gift for her - in 2014! The original design did not include the points. They were cut off before binding, but I decided to keep them, add handmade, beaded yo-yos at each intersection, piece the background squares and give it a modern edge with some interesting quilting.

Fall sunshine
I used the pattern Ingrid's Garden from Best of Fons & Poters Quilting Quickly. I used batik fabric yardage. I free motion quilted hexagon shapes in the batik hexies and free motion quilted maple leaves in the background fabric. This quilt will be raffled off at a benefit for my son, Joshua, who was severely injured in a motorcycle accident on July 11, 2015. Although he will eventually fully recover, he has a long way to go and many bills to pay. Pray that we will make lots of money!!!!

The Van Gogh Herringbone Quilt.
I made this quilt for my son-in-law, Marc, who lives in Texas. I used a Vincent Van Gogh layer cake from the MSQC. The pattern is called Herringbone with a great tutorial also by the MSQC. The quilt came together pretty quickly and was fun to place all the different fabrics in a pleasing design.

I saw Jenny's tutorial on making two quilts with one Layer cake which worked perfectly with this fabric. In the line there were 20 reds and 20 blues in the same package. So it was just what I needed. : )

Paper Pinwheels
Paper Pinwheels pattern from Quilters Cache. I made the pattern my own by using 2 1/2" squares with a 4 1/2" center.

Rosanna
I wanted a bedspread for my queen size bed and no matter where I looked, couldn't find what I had in mind. So .... I created it! Love the way the spread, shams and throw pillows turned out and my bedroom now looks as I envisioned it. I did not use a pattern and improvised as I went along. The little throw pillows are all made of half square triangles.
