I made this quilt for one of the loft beds in our lake house. I love the bright colors. I put a couple of intersecting strips on the back for more design.

Marilyn

I decided to make a pixel quilt and selected this Andy Warhol art piece as my first project. I haven't started quilting yet because I have been too busy. I used pic 2 pat software that is found free on the Internet. It is a cross stitch program that can easily be used for quilting. I cut 2" X 2" squares and placed them on 20" X 20" fusible web. It was like putting together a puzzle.

Double Crossed

I made this quilt for a gentleman that has recently retired. He moved to South Carolina and promises to send me a photo of himself with it on his lap, in his rocking chair on the front porch. Maybe when the weather is cooler. It is an Amy Smart pattern but it resembles Summer in the Park. I am trying that one next. I did FMQ on my Babylock.

Blue Ribbons

I made this quilt for me! I use it every day. I love the blue and white and the illusion of the fabric weaving in and out.

Rail Fence Rag Quilt

I made this quilt for our son Ryan. This is the first rag quilt I have made with 100% cotton fabric. I usually use flannel. I think it came out well. He loves it.

Sunburst Quilt

This is a Geta Grama inspired quilt. I found the tutorial on Elsie's Girl blog. I made this quilt for a co-worker who is expecting a baby next month. I am happy with the way it turned out. The quilting pattern is a flowering vine that meanders through the sunburst blocks. Natalie, my talented, artistic daughter, drew the vine, leaves and flowers on the quilt for me to follow. She even added a few curly offshoots for added interest.

Confetti Race

This is a take off of the Jelly Roll Race 3.0 quilt. Instead of white triangles, I used white strips. The strips are WOF cut in half so I ended up with more triangles. The triangles are scraps. I made a wavy edge and a patterned fabric for backing. The quilting is straight line in the center and interior border and stipple in the exterior border. This was a fun and easy quilt to make.

Flying Geese

I made this quilt several years ago before I started doing my own FMQ. The lady that quilted it for me did a very nice job.

Argyle Quilt

I made this quilt for my husband. I wanted something masculine and after searching through many patterns, I made this one up myself. I looked at men's socks for inspiration. :-) It is very large and heavy so it ended up as a couch quilt in the camper. It is made with Kona cotton fabric and quilted tightly in a stipple pattern.

Orange Peel Quilt

I made this quilt to fit the king sized bed in our 5th wheel camper. I added a scalloped border around the bottom half and omitted where the bed fits in the slide. Anyone that has tried to shove a comforter down the sides of a bed in a slide out will appreciate this. It has 244 5" squares and took 12 hours to FMQ. I quilted around the orange peels which makes an interesting pattern on the back. Two tutorials from MSQC assisted me in making this quilt. The orange peel and the scalloped edge tutorials. The scallop tool works great. I love this quilt.

Hourglass Quilt

This quilt was made using an hourglass pattern but you can also use half square triangles. I loved the colors in this fabric.
