Quilts

My modern quilting group created this wonky house quilt. Several of us made blocks and I created a few tree blocks to fit between the houses. I pieced the blocks together and stitched the quilt. It is backed with a small floral fabric from the giant stash of fabric for comfort quilts my quilt guild […]

I’ve been clearing space in my studio by finishing some lap and throw quilts that have been hanging around awaiting completion. This one I pieced from my scraps using fabrics in cream, brown, green and red. It’s backed with even more scraps in coordinating colors. My friend created this quilt top and brought it to

The timing didn’t work out for me to participate in a QuiltCon charity quilt before QuiltCon. So my local modern quilting group decided to make a quilt in the challenge colors for our local Red Cross. I’ve finished 4 blocks – can’t wait to see what the rest of the group comes up with. I’m

I quilted and bound my scrap quilt. I started quilting with my favored square spiral, but threw in some wavy lines and along the edges some square tooth back and forth and a bit of script to say ‘family and love’. Every piece of fabric in the quilt reminds me of projects I’ve completed in

My modern quilting group started a bee. Each month a member selects a patter and we all make her blocks. These blocks are 12” and all have the same white fabric provided by the quilter who started the bee. This is a fun block pattern, I kind of want to make a quilt with this

My modern quilting group is creating wonky house blocks for a charity quilt. I thought I’d share some of the blocks I’ve made. Wonky house blocks are a fun way to use scraps. I like this modern psychedelic house. I might try making a few wonky tree blocks to go with the houses.

For months I’ve been meaning to create a little quilt with prints of my quilts. It’s a gift for my niece who turns 3 in a few weeks. She loved the actual cupcake girl quilt when she saw it earlier this year, so that print takes center stage on one side. I added two shades

This is the next quilt in the year of quilts for our friends. We opted to embrace autumn colors instead of a purely Thanksgiving theme. My husband found the animal panel and it was too cute to resist. The back has various prints including some owls. Happy Thanks Autumn (50” x 60”)
