2020, Baby Size

At the quilt guild Christmas party, someone gave me a packet of 5"squares.  I added some of my fabric and made this quilt for a baby.  I really like it for some reason, it's unusual.  The bottom picture is the back I made for it from my stash.  I think it matches so well.

 

2020 Log cabin and pillows

My friend, Georgia, gave me a bunch of fabric with the UFO's (unfinished objects) that were started by her mother.  This orange quilt, lap sized, had 4 blocks made and I made 12 more to make the quilt.  I drafted the sizes of the pieces to make the blocks and so I could make the block again.  I decided I really enjoy making this block.  I made up the back from the left over fabric.

I also found these parts of pillows, started but not finished.  I machine quilted the blue one, fun.  The other two tops were already quilted, I'm making pillow forms for them and finishing the pillows to give back to Georgia.

 

July 2020 Full size "Pastel Tumblers"

Many years ago I couldn't resist and  picked up this fabric that had been at an estate sale, and then given to the Senior Center where we have our quilt guild meeting.  The material is so pretty, and I waited for just the right pattern to show if off.  This Tumbler pattern seemed just right.  I really like the way the straight line quilting shows it off.  A quilt like this is too big for lots of free motion fancy stuff on my small machine.  

Also, at

 another estate sale, I found this wonderful pale pink toile to use for the back.  There is enough left to use on several more quilts.  Sometimes it's worth going to estate sales even though I tell myself to stay away, and don't buy any more fabric.  If you think I have a lot of fabric you would have been amazed at the fabric this woman had.  And it had been offered for sale 4 days before I got there.

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.
