So the bottom quilt was started hand piecing riding the train to and from New Orleans.. It is wacky and impromptu.. The flying witch and the Christmas tree done just because..Like I truly needed another project.. But it These things gave me a break in between piecing hundreds of triangles and flying geese blocks.. Did I count .. Only when I designed the king size quilt.. and then somehow needed more.. But had 18 or so left .. Figured that was pretty good for a dream in my head..
The orange and black thing is from Phyllis's house.. Found blocks sent to me.. So I just played with them still I got them together.. Don't measure it slants out three inches from one side to the other.. Not a judged quilt.. It will go somewhere where they won't care about perfection. Used scraps of batting and a flannel backing.. It will be a real cuddlier. The blocks one the top of my little design wall thingy are just scraps.. I try every day to make just one scrap block.. Some days I win the game and others not so much.. But when there is a stack I can play.. And another donation quilt for somewhere is born.. Right now I'm working on 4 neonatal donation quilts.. They test me more than the big things do.. 17 to 18 by 27.. inches.. What can you dream up for that size.. tiny blocks or one large block edged with boarders.. So many choices..
I am making a resolution early.. Blog at least once a week..Can't figure out how to upload pics from my ipad.. New skills to learn..
Oh, and hand quilting once a week with Lydia's quilters.. So much fun.. holes in my finger.. even put the needle thru the top of my finger..sewing once self into a quilt literally.. Laughing so many calluses that didn't even bleed.. Now that is some hard working fingers..
So for now off to bake some bread and machine quilt some more on the black and orange thing..
What's to come a circle block quilt in batiks.. Oh, it is different of course..
