blbaughman's likes Fruity Tooty Table Runner Well, Jim wanted subdued and he got it. But Grandma wanted something bright and cheerful for my grandbabies. So, bright colors, fresh fruit, and the blue and green that will complement their kitchen and dining room.

I decided to make a quilt for my sister who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She wanted to recuperate from her surgery at her beach house. Hanging up at the quilt shop was a "Baby Sails" quilt. It gave me the idea to use sailboats. I used Atkinson's "Lucky Stars" pattern and substituted sailboats for the stars because I wanted a lap quilt size. Adding 3 borders brought the quilt to the size I wanted. I always use flannel fabric for the backing for extra warmth and snuggle-ness. (Is that a word?) By Kables 44 LIKES | 1982 VIEWS Addison's Star I love stars. These blocks are 24". It was a lot of fun seeing this one come together. By estelle71 23 LIKES | 1463 VIEWS Good Fortune Quilt I loved the warm, autumn batiks in this quilt. I made it for my son and used soft flannel for the backing fabric.

Here it is as I was making my quilt sandwich. The border fabric is a beautiful Christmas fabric with red cardinals from one of the Hoffman fabric lines.

Just liked the greens and yellows - goes nicely in my kitchen.

It was fun to look at these old 'scraps' and realize that many of them were from dresses made for me or my cousins.

The winner of the quilt gave it to me in memory of my grandmother - which I thought was such a nice gesture.

I use it as a bed spread on our queen size bed as a result of its larger size. This quilt is one of my favorites because my husband's aunt hand quilted it for us.

The piano key border and mitered corners on the border add that extra special "wow" factor to the overall design. I love how all the fabrics came together!
