11 & 12 of a 12 PATRIOTIC WALL HANGING PROJECT

Disappearing 4-Patch Star - Block Magazine Spring Vol 3 Issue 2. I was never a fan of the star block. I just didn't see why other quilter like it so much. Well, now I understand. After I finished the One Star Block Pattern Quilt top - the lights went off in my head and I got it. This is such a powerful block. To compliment the American Theme, why not make 9 smaller ones for a quilt top? These are my favorites of this collection. What did I learn? 1. The smaller the block, the more detail and time it takes to finish. (( Well worth it. )) 2. Never ever buy cheap batting again. (( I was trying to stretch my dollar but the batting debris - UGH was more work than saving a couple pennies. )) THANK-YOU for sharing this experience with me. I had a lot of fun, feelings of accomplishment, this definitely fed my creative side. and it did not end up in my UFO'S. - I feel just amazing right now. ♪. . . hi.ho.hi.ho.hi.ho.hi.ho. . . . (( whistling )). . ♫ it is off to the sewing room I go for the next project. You will be hearing from me soon. GOD BLESS.

scrappy disappearing nine patch

I am still trying to use up some of my fabric stash! This disappearing nine patch was simple to piece. I adjusted the depth of the white border so the zigzag would fit. (more half square triangles to make the zigzag) White minky on the back. I like the scrappy binding, but am still working on perfecting binding application. The quilting was done by an excellent long arm quilter.

Balance & Fade

My original inspiration for this quilt was the audio adjusters on an old Panasonic stereo I had in junior high. I worked with this design quite a bit but wasn't happy with it until I rotated it ccw 90 degrees and added a white border. I think it's pretty funny how much the early 90's works it way into my designs. www.quiltachusetts.com

Fishy Quilt

Saw a picture of a quilt I just had to make, could not locate a pattern but would not be discourage. Just figured it out it was for my grandson.

String Me Along

This pattern was designed by Dodi Lee Poulsen for Fons and Porter. I am overrun with strips and strings and this seemed like a good way to use some of them up.

Wedding Quilt in Purple and Gray

My son and his lovely fiancé are getting married in January 2018. Her favorite color is purple and the wedding colors are purple and gray. The background is Kaffe Fasset Artemesia, a shot cotton which reads gray/lavender depending on the light. The outer pieced border was made with a half-hexi template, and the wavy inner border is Dance of the Dragonfly fabric in Purple. I also added some bling with tiny Swarovski crystals on the piecing intersections within the medallion, but the camera didn't pick that up. The quilt is Queen sized and double batted, so weighs a ton. My younger son and his dad held it up for the photo, and were yelling at me to hurry up because it was so heavy!

Indian Baby quilt

Lively season with another colleague expecting. She is from India, so I wanted very bright colors. Will be a little boy. I had a print with a peacock (Indian National animal) on it, so I decided this to be my inspiration fabric. Wanted to try pickle dish for some time and thought medallion will work. Also will piece the corners for setting this on point, but it is still growing. Finished the center last weekend and still trying to find a good solution on the setting triangles.
