Yellow Brick Road

I made enough Yellow brick Road blocks for two baby quilts out of these fabrics. One of them was completed and given away, the other is still a top. I don't feel guilty about having at least 29 quilt tops sitting in boxes. They come in handy if I need a gift for somebody, then I can pick out out and finish it for the occasion.
That doesn't help for the ones with the fabric that has gone out of style, though, nobody would want one of those. I'll have to wait until 80's colours come back in style, lol!

Challenge Quilt

We had a challenge in our guild a long time ago, to make a quilt that included a tree, a mountain and a creature. I also made mine a charm quilt, with every triangle a different fabric. Many people couldn't figure out my abstract mountain scene. The tree is machine embroidered with lots of beads sewn on. The bird in the tree is hand applique.

Feathered Log Cabin

This quilt was an exercise in patience, to say the least. Each tiny half square triangle unit around the log cabin blocks measure 1 1'2" finished. Half of them had to have the dark sections facing one way, the other half facing the opposite way.
The back of the quilt is made of giant pieced log cabin blocks.

Jewel Box By Linda H.

This little Jewel Box quilt was made by my sister, Linda Huntrods.
This is another pattern on my "to do" list. I've got so much fabric in my stash and leftover bolts of fabric from my store that I could sew for 20 more years and not use it up. But I'm planning on sewing for the next 50 years, so there will be trips to a quilt shop eventually, hehe!

Tiny Town

My sister, Linda Huntrods made this postage stamp quilt and named it "Tiny Town". I love it!
A good example of why the smallest scraps of fabric shouldn't be thrown away.
I started to make a 16 patch and pinwheel quilt, but haven't had much time to sew lately. The 16 patches are cut from 1 1/2" squares, the pinwheels are 4 1/2".
It'll take a ton of these to make a quilt, but I love the look of all the tiny pieces.
I noticed that there is a trend in quilting magazines lately to make quilts with huge blocks. Instant gratification, I guess. I suppose it's ok if you want a project done in a hurry. There's a time and place for everything, but I prefer something that looks like a little effort was put into it.
That's my 2 cents worth for today. :)

Better Picture of Nickel Quilt

I was looking through my picture box and found a better photo of the Nickel Quilt that I posted quite awhile ago.

Primrose Path

This was made using the Quiltsmart printed interfacing panels for the applique.
I made up my own setting for the blocks. I still have other Quiltsmart panels on bolts, the Double Wedding Ring, Rob Peter to Pay Paul, on point grid and straight grid. I'm going to have to live to be 120 years old to use all these things up!
