Great Things to Come

Quilts of Valor is really stepping it up and I am thrilled. Let's see if I can get this great video on on HERE.

Mystery Quilt Update

I have decided to go with door number 1. I hope this is the right picture. I will get this top together this afternoon and await the final clue to the mystery.

It was a good decision to participate is this and a smart idea to make it a military quilt. I know just what I will do with it and will get it done quickly for camp in July. It will be fun seeing all the different ones the quilters will have made.

Mystery Quilt Choices

I have been having a grand time making a mystery quilt for the MAQ Quilt Camp this July.

I have 4 different choices in the design of the top. UGH. I cannot decide which one to do. So I will just give it a couple of days and see what you all think.

This will be given to a military person after camp.

It is laying on top of the Irish Chain I did about 4 years ago. It was quilted by a very talented long arm quilter long before I had my HQ. I LOVE it.

Last Quilt of April

Here is the last quilt I finished for this month. I am now going to put some tops I got from my guild on my HQ and get them done. The great part about that IS---I just pull them off and hand them back. Someone else will do the binding.

I am working on a small project for myself right now. It is a paper pieced Log Cabin Star pattern I bought while at the Lancaster Show. I am doing it in blue and yellow.

Once again---I forget what pattern this is.

And Next please

This is another soldier quilt using the square in square pattern that works up so quickly. It is a little dark for my tastes but used up more smaller cuts of fabric.

Next in line

I surely will have a good amount of quilts for our wounded military. Here is the next one I made. I cannot remember the name of the pattern---but it is very scrappy. I think it was made out of fat quarters and then cut up.

Another one

I was more productive sewing than picture taking----so here is one more.

This pattern uses up smaller pieces of fabric quite efficiently. Scraps quilting is not my favorite but I love this pattern.

Once again, I add the eagles fabric to make it longer.

More April quilts

I had purchased the Turning Twenty Pattern quite some time ago and decided to try one of those. 20 Fat Quarters would make it way too big so I used just 12. I am slowly working my way through a large amount of donated Fat Quarters from online friends. This pattern uses them up quickly.

I added the eagles at the top and bottom to make this a nice long quilt. Thanks Barbara for that wonderful eagle fabric.

April Push

I had some time off from my part time job so I really was able to get productive. I do not remember the name of this pattern as I find so many on the internet. I did not put the sections together right but with a scrappy quilt it really does not matter.

If I had done it right, it would have formed a secondary pattern. Finished is better than perfect. I was happy to use up smaller bits of fabric.

I believe this pattern is called Tradewinds.

Fabric from California and North Carolina

I am part of a wonderful group of ladies on an internet site. We chat daily about all sorts of things. I was sent this fabric and decided to just combine them. I did not want to cut up the middle section as it was too beautiful. So this turned out to be a quick and easy quilt. I have enough of the stripped to use it with a BIG block I made and then could not figure out what to do with it.

Thanks Debbie and Janet. This quilt will be donated for a wounded member of our military.
