I saw a quilt in a magazine where the quilter used a strip set to create a strippy quilt like this, and adapted it. I hate to waste fabric, so I did the math to make the best possible use of the strip set. Taken as a whole, it's a bit over the top!

Too Muchery II

Another strip-set strippy setting. I used RJR's Oriental Garden strip set; if I were doing it again, I'd use the green for the outer border as well. Donated this to a mission group.

Oriental Spring

I made this as a spring project to use a large scale Kona Bay print, with inspiration from the new "windows" projects I'd seen. It ended up softer than I'd planned but I still love the spring vibe.

French General Inspired by Jenny

I saw a French General Garden quilt in a magazine well after the fabrics were discontinued, and realized I could do it with a layer cake and some yardage. I found the layer cake on ebay, and some yardage in a closeout bin. It's a bit different from the original, but I love it. Still need to QUILT it, of course... Thanks, Jenny, for helping us think outside the box. In fact, I think in pre-cuts now!

Pond in the Meadow

Inspired by a jelly roll of batiks. I made all the blocks then then realized the only thing I had that matched for a border was an echinacea print from Micheal Miller. It looks like a pond in a meadow of wildflowers to me, so I use it in the dead of winter to remind me spring's just around the corner!.

African Wind

This started as a log cabin made from a jelly roll. I didn't have enough blocks so I used some African animal prints as alternate blocks and a pieced border. I quilted it with a wind-invoking pattern. This is one I love but seldom use, since I don't want to get it stained!
