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.

12/19 - Three Quilts, Small, Medium and large
Three quilt tops and three backs. For these quilts I made backings by sewing together large pieces of what I have on hand. Two of the tops were made by a woman in our quilt guild. I've shown her work before. She makes the tops while she's in Moab and leaves them for us to finish when she goes back to Alaska for the summer. The last quilt is from my stash of plaids, I rather like the plaid shirting fabric, makes a nice, soft, warm quilt.

2019 Queen sized, a keeper
I found this blue material and wanted to use it. Didn't have enough for a whole quilt and didn't want to cut it up. So I found in my stash, pieces of wildly colorful florals and made a quilt of 12" squares. I just finished it, it's big and warm and I really love it.
This orange-ish fabric from my stash has always been one of my favorites. Don't know why, but I sacrificed and put two 12" squares of it into the quilt.

October 2019, 5' quilt for emergency vehicles in town.
I found some orphan blocks in a drawer, made a few extra to make it bigger. They ask for about 5' square. The back is pieced from some of the extra fabric. It will be used by emergency vehicles in town.
