I ran out of dark purples, so used some light purples....and put that row in the middle

It is 60  x 72"....good for a big girl bed.

The back is a thrift store sheet.....with a white design that is hard to see.

I basically found the easiest way to travel across the rows and that is what I quilted. haha

Can you see.....

 This is a little Christmas panel.  35 x 40".. another of my cousin's projects to finish for her.

There wasn't much to it....some SID, some swirls, some Xs.

It is rather cute.

Rather than a traditional binding, I just wrapped the back over to the front and sewed it down.

Not sure I care for that method, but it worked for this.

Glide Cobalt for top, So Fine Navy for bobbin.

I have one more project for my cousin, but it's going to take a while...it needs to be created....need some thinking cells. haha

Skyward....or ???

 I looked at the pattern and said...that's cool.  Here is the pattern. They call it Skyward.  

pattern.jpg.b32e7d2d0ac8dcfc9b37c88cef421dad.jpg

I thought that would be a good block for scraps.  I did make the block as designed.  Here is a sample block. Now, just forget that pattern....it got wiped from my mind.

My goal was to use those little bits of red and yellow fire fabric. I made 36 blocks. Once I looked at the blocks, something happened in my brain.  

I put 4 of them together to make a little fiery star. haha    Then I made 9 more.....then I had 9 huge blocks.  I looked at them for a couple days on the design wall.

Nothing I did calmed them down, so I just said what the hell and ramped them up. 

This is what I got. I swear, I don't know how it happened.  haha     but, i like it.

top.jpg.c1849447fd584610bbd5ab3be0b15238.jpg

 

It is 55 x 65" .  Not a bad couch size. It might get quilted one day....it might wind up on eBay.  But, it is out of my system. hahahaha
