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.
Great quilts and good luck with the quilting. Take care.
