A couple months ago I found a bag of strips of fabric, about 1 1/2" wide. I cute the strips into 4 1/2" lengths, Squared them up to 4" to sew together and made these three large quilts, one mostly blue, one mostly pink and one just random pieces. I didn't plan on it, but had to save the beautiful greenish-turquoise pieces for a small baby sized quilt. I'm trying to think how to border the baby quilt but the large ones will stay without borders. Someday soon I'll do a simple straight line quilting.

July, 2019 Two crib sized quilts
These two crib sized quilts I made, one for a newborn at church and one for the pregnancy center in town. The pattern is called Double Triangle, I really like this pattern and plan to make several more. It is easy, pretty, but time consuming. I found the pattern on a website, called "Film in the Fridge".

"The Finisher" 6 baby quilts finished for a friend.
Call me "the Finisher". These six quilts made by a friend for her grandbabies needed the bindings to finish them off but she hadn't done them. I love to finish off quilts and offered to do these for her. She said "yes", and I did it. Really cute quilts.

2019 baby quilt finished for sister Barbara
My sister and her husband came to visit. She had taken a class and made the center part of this quilt, the hard part. But it had been sitting at her house for some years and wanted to know if I wanted to finish it. I put on the pink border and the blue border and then quilted it and put the binding on in three days. It is a really cute quilt. The background material has pink and blue flowers.

2019 baby quilt, for infants at church
I love making quilts and enjoy giving them away. I made two of these quilts, one a little bigger than the other. They are made from "cheater" fabric, which means the material was printed to look like it's pieced. The back is this pretty yellow with a narrow blue stripe, quilted with the edge finished with a strip of binding.

5'x5' quilts for Emergency Vehicles in town.
Someone at quilt guild had a stack of squares cut from Laura Senter's stash. I added some to make this 5' x 5' quilt to be used by the ambulances or police cars in town. They wrap victims in them, and then some are given to them. This one wildly colorful.
