Green Madness II

 I finished piecing these green blocks in April for Judy Laquidara's color challenge. And now have them pieced into a top. 

It is 62x74"

They are just scrappy blocks

All the bits and pieces in the green box.

Who knows when....or if....it will ever get quilted. haha

Forest Floor

I had a bunch of hand dyed fabrics in mainly greens and browns that I used to make these machine embroidery crazy quilt squares.

I put them all together and got this top. It is 47x57"

I cut 2.5" strips for sashings and first border. Then I decided I had enough to make another border. So, I cut 2.5 x 4.5" pieces for the final border. Now there are just a few scraps left. 

Know Your Colors

Just finished piecing another colorful kid's quilt. It is 48x55.

This piece of fabric started it all. Those blocks are a bit over 1".

Here is the top...

And, some closeups....

I still have some of the fabric left....have to come up with another design.

Old World Fantasy

This top was a mystery quilt from the Quilted Twins.....the twin who lives in Poland. It started in April, 2020, for 6 weeks. I did the lap size. It is 56" square.

Block 1

Block 2

The border

There were a lot of bias edges, so there is going to be some stretching and straightening out during quilting.

I kept up with the clues every week and pieced all the parts. When the final instructions came to put it together, I just put it in the box and put it away. I finally got it out to put it together. Oh my, the instructions were useless. I went by the pictures.

I did need to make a few more pieces at one point. I don't know if it was her mistake or mine....I didn't look. But at least it is now together. Glad I didn't go for queen size. haha

Purple Madness

Well, July is not over, but I have used all my purple selvages and purple scraps. I am finished with the July purple challenge. Here is Purple Madness. It's about 60x72

There are scrap blocks, 4 patches with a frame ...

Plain 4 patches...

Didn't take long to use up my purple pieces.

Guess I just get to play the rest of the month.

Monkey Business

I had a monkey embroidery CD that I hadn't ever done, I don't think.  So, over the last few weeks. I made the blocks. And just had to order banana fabric to go with it. haha

It is 40" x 50". 

Do you want a banana now? haha

Old Glory

Finally got the binding on this one today. It is 60x70.  Took a while to make all the blocks but I think it is pretty cool.

This was a great scrap buster.

The worst part of the quilting was rolling back and forth in those red and white rows.

Back is white cotton.

Used Glide Ruby, Cobalt and White. Bobbin is Bottom Line cream.

It is going to live at my sister's.
