Quilts in Progress

  I have been busy the last few months.  I've completed four tops, now all I have to do is quilt them.

These are the two I gave instructions for   They went together really fast.

     I mentioned that when I bring a length of fabric home I cut off a 4" to 6" strip to use for scrap quilts.  I cut a lot of these into

triangles that will finish out at 2".  Here are some of the quilts I've made from those triangles.

Sawtooth

This is 4" Pinwheel blocks

Double Pyramid

     I learned the meaning of the saying "It's not a quilt until it's quilted" with this quilt.  I made this several years ago and thought it was really ugly.  I did quilt it with some elaborate fans and it was a thing of beauty.  It  became my favorite quilt.  But, alas, it succumbed to age and having used 100% cotton fabric.  Below are two examples of why I don't like 100% cotton fabric.

This oriinally had Holly Hobby cutouts appliqued to the blocks, most of which are now gone.  The background and lattice strips were cotton/polyester blends.



I showed a picture of this quilt previously.  All the patches around the blue triangles were once a red cotton, which has just disappeared.  The blue and white fabrics were a cotton/polyester blend.

This is a sampler I'm using for a beginning quilter's class.



This was how I used the leftover fabric.

I made two of these 32" blocks.  I love how it turned out, but I don't have any more of the blue fabric and I can't figure out what to do with the two blocks.  Any suggestions would be welcome.

A quick note

     I want to take a minute to apoligize for not posting recently.  I am a complete idiot when it comes to working on the internet.  I tried to access my blog but forgot my password.  Not an unusual occurance for me.  I tried to get my password from whoever is in charge of this function, but I just couldn't read those sqiggly little messages.  I finally e-mailed and was told someone must have been playing with my blog but I wasn't clear on what I was suppsed to do about it.  Anyway, I finally tried again and will be posting more quilts in the next few days.  I also have a craft project you might like.
