Early July Finishes

I'm sharing three projects I finished since July 1.

Fall Cornucopia.  66 x 66 inches.

I started this quilt several years ago.  A friend visited recently and we pinned 5 quilts for her and three quilts for me.  I'm excited to get this one finished.

I struggle with quilting a sampler quilt. I have to decide
on a quilting pattern for 12 different blocks.  This time
I devised one design that I used for all blocks. I did a little
ruler work mixed with free motion.

It's a Girl Thing.  49 x 63 inches.

This is a donation quilt for two fundraisers that have been combined due to the pandemic.

Think Pink and Got Red. Breast cancer and women's heart health events.

This is the second time I've used this pattern. Cut squares, divide into groups and stack, cut the curves, shuffle the fabrics, resew, then cut new blocks down to a uniform size.  (Stack a New Deck, Karla Alexander). I'm amazed at how quickly this goes together. Start to finish - 7 days. Hopefully it will do well at the fundraiser.

I followed the curves and quilted feathers over the quilt.

Left Overs.  28 x 39 inches.

I made 80 blocks for the quilt above, but some of them were too small. I saved them and along with extras from It's a Girl Thing, I cut them all the same size and created a smaller quilt.  This one will be donated to the hospital gift shop for a baby quilt.  Nice and bright!

It's not clear in the photo, but I did "hooked" feathers in the border.
The center section is a design I'm using for my own pantograph.

These are quilt numbers 20, 21, and 22 completed since January 1, 2021.

Thanks for checking in.

I hope you're having a productive 2021.

Getting Caught Up

In June, when I sent my WIP (Works in Progress) reports to my friendship group, I was amazed at what I had accomplished that month. I'm going to catch up on reporting finished from February - June. Maybe just a few at a time.

February:

Enchanted Garden (52 x 72 inches)

  

Fay's Quilt.  (91 x 91 inches)

This one is looking for a home.

  

Valentine Records.  

Valentine "Cards" sent to great nieces and nephews.

 

New York Beauty.

I finished the blocks as a pillow rather than make a small quilt.  (24 x 24 inches)

I included a fat cording.  Not sure I'll use that size cording again.

Class with Sara Bond.

 

Thanks for checking in.

I'll keep posting till I'm caught up.

January projects

This post was originally written April 1, but I never posted it. Then I got busy and thought why bother. I now realize I enjoyed sharing my progress; plus I was able to look back at posts and see what I'd accomplished.  Therefore, I'm going to catch up and keep going.

I'm off to a good start for 2021.

I took 2 classes with Sarah Bond.  I did put together a small quilt to show the blocks I made in her New York Beauty class.  The other class was working in gray scale and color.  I ended up just making some blocks to learn her techniques.  I thought we would spend more time discussing gray scale options, but it was still a fun day.

New York Beauty  24 x 24 inches

Earlier I posted that I finished the 2014 Quiltville Mystery.  It has been delivered!

60 x 60 inches
Top was completed YEARS ago during a guild workshop
with Laura Nownes and Diana McClun.  I just needed
to quilt it.  I think I have a home for this one.

       

Sizzle!  72 x 72 inches

This one was bound, but needed the border quilted.
Now completely finished.

  

Thanks for checking in.

Watch for more updates.
