May 2020 4 "Wrap-a-Smile quilts and 1 Pink Flannel

Many, many years ago I had in mind a quilt from 4 square block, cut into circles, then the circles folded over to create a smaller 4 square on the back with oval shapes in front around a white center.  I hope you can get the picture.  It works out to be like a "Cathedral Window".  Anyway, I had stacks of these squares thinking I'd make this quilt.  I got an email from this charity "Wrap-A-Smile suggesting quilts to honor their founder whose first name starts with T.  I had enough squares to make these 4 quilts.  Can you see the big yellow "T" in two of them.  The other two I made some special squares with "T" in them.  They are about 40" by 60" made to wrap around patients who have had facial repair surgery in 3rd world countries.  

This is another pink flannel quilt like one I did earlier, from fabric my friend Leslie gave me.  It's crib size and I don't know who will end up with it.  the backing is this darling  pink flowers.

April 2020 Blue Lap Size, and Pink Crib size

This blue sampler I started about 8 y ears ago.  Each block was going to be different but I decided to make each Row different using different fabric in each block - except the middle row which has 5 different blocks.  You can't see it closely, thankfully, but most of the points are clipped off.  Instead of struggling to make the points perfect, I decided to leave it as is and name the quilt "Beside the Point".

 The pink one is crib size, the front made from flannel squares.  The back is this cute pink fabric I found.  Yummy quilt.

March 2020, Two Crib size quilts for charity

A couple weeks ago, my friend who lives up north came to visit and gave me some fabric and quilt books.  This was a bunch of pink flannel, so pretty.  There was enough of this to make the two crib size quilts.  I haven't quilted them yet obviously.  I love quilts like this, easy and very pretty, such yummy fabric. The bottom fabric is some I found in the sewing room at the Senior Center that I can use for the back.

January 2020, one quilt for charity, one for a friend.

 This quilt is a lap sized, another one made by our guild member who lives half the year here, and the other half in Alaska.  I have another one, very similar to quilt and finish, both for charity.

This quilt, a Dresden Plate, is full sized, I made for my friend.  It's totally scrappy, every pretty fabric in my cupboard.   I did the quilting, as shown on the back.  Not the most beautiful quilting, but I'm still learning.  It was time consuming, but fun.  

January 2020 Two wildly colorful quilts

These two quilts look almost the same, but one is a bit bigger then the other.  They were stitched by the guilt member who lives half her time here and half in Alaska.  I quilted them and they are ready for charities.

2020, January, one lap size, and two baby quilts

 This is one of the tops made by the quilt guild member who divides her time between Alaska and Moab.  She made the top with zig zag material.  I had the brown material that has all the colors in it from the top so that was my choice for the back.  I'm not sure, but it's done now.

The accumulation of 2 1/'2" squares just takes over the box, and I just have to make the 9 patch squares in to the single Irish chains baby quilts.  This is the last of this years baby quilts.  I made a pieced back for both quilts which I think is really very pretty.  I did the quilting on my machine using the "meander", which I really like.
