Something New

I was looking at saved photos of antique quilts and got inspired to do something with these leftover nine patches.

I grabbed a die and cut some triangles.

My triangles were too big, but that’s okay. I’ll trim these down.

Not sure where this is going yet. Maybe a new quilt for my kitchen table.

Have a great day!

Little Quilts 5

Gosh, I have a lot of these! The HSTs in this first one finish at half of an inch.

This eagle is one of my favorite swap quilts I have received.

This next one may have been my first mini ever.

Have a great day!

This and That

Daughters #2 sent me this photo. I love seeing my quilts in use!

Finally finished a puzzle and a piece is missing. Ugh.

I saw this dress at Goodwill. Miss Frizzle, are you missing your dress?

I noticed this reflection the other day on my coffee table. Pretty cool.

So true!

Have a great day!

Finish It Up Friday ~ FFP

My Fancy Four Patch quilt is done. As a reminder, this was a quilt along hosted by Taryn at ReproQuiltLover on Instagram.

I bought this backing fabric years ago and I’m glad I finally found a good use for it.

It finished at 36 by 48 inches. I’m quite pleased with it!

Have a great day!

FFP

I’m nearing the finish line. I recently ordered this set of crosshatch design boards. They have a one inch grid.

I love the design boards with the larger grid that I used on the fence rail quilt.

These are not quite as forgiving if you don’t get the rows lined up just right. But I’m forging ahead.

Harry likes to lay under my quilt frame just like Willy did.

Have a great day!

America 250

I’ve been making twosies as leaders/enders.

They turn into foursies.

And now I have decided on the final width of this quilt. I think it will need an outside border.

Time to work on the length. Progress is slow, but any progress is good.

Have a great day!

May Wrap-Up

Not a lot to show for this month in the quilting department. I tried my hand at wool appliqué with underwhelming results.

This quilt was finished ages ago, but the pattern was released this month. It’s called Checks and Rails and it is available on the AccuQuilt web site for free.

And I can’t forget my only real finish for the month, my Fence Rail quilt.

June will involve a bit of travel so we will see what I get done. We aren’t going to take a big cross country trip this year with gas prices as they are.

Have a great day!

This and That

I’ve been getting out my red/white/blue quilts for the patriotic season.

This banner is from my local quilt group. I was elected to the board this year.

I found this cute book at Goodwill. I do think everyone needs a rock or two!

The three hooligans.

Never a dull moment with them around. I love them so.

Have a great day!
