1930s 4 pointed star quilts

These two quilts were made at the Charming Ladies Quilt retreat in 2006, where I learned how to make the block. It is a great block for using strips leftover from other projects. These two quilts were made mostly from my 1930s repro stash and a few other fabrics that played well with them.

Ducks in a Puddle Baby Quilt

Made from slightly mottled hand-dyed fabric plus black. The quilting thread looks weird in the photo. I have no idea why. It was rainbow colored in real life.

Hand dyed Rainbow Roll baby quilt #1

Made with a Color Creations hand-dyed Rainbow Roll, plus black and the commercial border print, in 2006. (It took 5 years of staring at that roll of fabric before I could make myself cut it. I really like how this one turned out, though. It was a gift for the son of my husband's best friend from school when he was born.

Trips Around the World (leftovers)

baby quilt made from unused blocks from a Trip Around the World baby quilt (which I forgot to take a photo of before I gave it away. Sigh.)

Lady bug fabric baby quilt #2/4

Driving thru Oh on my way to NC, I stopped at a random quilt shop (what happens when I see a billboard on the hwy) where I found a pack of fat quarters I loved. I almost never buy collections, because one of my fave parts of quilting is choosing the individual fabrics myself, but I made an exception for this collection.

Hot-n-Cold Quilt #4

Made in 2021 using a free pattern from a QA weekend quilt retreat I attended in VA in 1999. I love this pattern for its bright colors and the multiple layouts possible with the blocks. I made my parents a queen size version, and one of my daughters has a twin size version. I also made a baby quilt of the pattern using pastels with white in place of the black, but forgot to take pics of if before I gave it away (I forget to do that way too often).

The Fish Quilt

Made in 2018 as a gift for my cousin, the scuba diver. One of my favorite quilts, and also one of the most challenging I've ever made. It was a combination of multiple patterns from the Crafty Ol' Broads book entitled Beyond the Block. I've made 3 more inspired by their patterns, and have another 1 in progress and 2 more planned after that.

Stash Green Baby Quilt

Another baby quilt made in 2008, when I realized it would be smart to have some that weren't obviously girly or particularly boyish, since not all my friends wanted to know the gender of their baby before he/she was born.

Stash Baby Quilt #1 (2008)

Finally had a little free time and decided to use it to make a few baby quilts, so I'd have them already done the next time one of my friends or relatives had a little one. This was made with hand-dyed solids, plus the multi-colored store-bought background.
