  Charm Quilt

  The making of charm quilts, in which no two pieces are cur from the same fabric, was popular around the turn of the century. One legend associated with the charm quilt says that it should contain exactly 1.000 different fabrics. According to the legend, when a maiden had collected exactly 999, the man she was to marry would appear, bearing the 1000th fabric. I used a few more in order for the quilt to cover my King sized bed.

  My Happy Quilt

  When I first saw Jenny's tutorial I knew I had to make one. I just love the Kaffe Fassett fabric. That's why I call it the "Happy Quilt". And I'm very happy with the way it turned out. It's off to be quilted now. I can't wait for it to come back.

  Wedding Quilt for friends

  i have a dear friend who's daughter will marry in August. They are lovers of nature so I thought a Bear Paw quilt was appropriate. I googled "Images" online and found this design. It is an easy layout to copy. I used scraps and stash in the colors the bride and groom are using in their home based on an image of a rug that is in their house. The bride's mom said the colors in the rug are carried throughout their home. This quilt is probably about twin-size. The Bear Paw block measures 10" finished.

  BLOCK QUILT

  For this quilt, I was looking for a quilt that would go together quickly. I had fallen in love with the material, and without having a plan ordered a layer cake and a few charm packs. When I laid them out I decided to just leave them in blocks.

  Just Happy Scraps

  This project used scraps; some I have been saving since I was probably about 10 years old. I guess I've always been a collector! I started with a pattern called "Candy Stripes" by Cleo Snuggerud in Quilt Lovers' Favorites (vol. 2) by American Patchwork and Quilting. I added the horizontal stripe under the pillows. It makes me happy every time I see it. (Completed Jan. 2015)

  Pinwheels

  I found some nautical fabric in my stash that I forgot about. It was only 3 charm packs. Since I had had it for so long, it is out of production so I can't get any more. So I made this lap quilt with it.

  Kaffe's zipper

  My second grown-up sized quilt and the first one using precuts. I had no idea who Kaffe Fasset was, no clue who Jenny Doan was but but in my first searches on the internet I happened to combine the two. since then I have made two more zipper quilts for nieces who love the pattern using black and other happy colors, but this one remains my favorite.

  pinwheel quilt

  I make this top years ago, added the borders and had it machine quilted after I retired. I find it hard to believe that I hand pieced such small pieces.

  Batik Stars

  I've been holding on to about 200 5" squares of this gorgeous batik fabric. mostly because I couldn't bare to cut it up. But then I saw this pattern on Pinterest and knew it was perfect for this fabric.
