It's been a loooong time since I've posted pics from my quilt group! I missed last month's meeting and I heard I missed some great quilts...but I've got some fab quilts to show you today!
Marsha made this darling Dick and Jane quilt - the center blocks are from a panel that she fussy-cut and the wonky borders set them off perfectly! I love the umbrellas - perfect for a Seattle baby quilt. We learned yesterday that Marsha is our only native Seattleite - which is why she knows EVERYTHING about Seattle, including a new Cupcakery in Belltown...but more on that later!
This little beauty is Helen's - who said she's in a rut...oh, wouldn't we all like to be in Helen's rut!! Just look at those fabrics!! And her backing is great - Helen is a wizard with color - and is definitely rutless!
Helen used the scraps from her quilt above to make a couple of small quilts...which she said she'll use on tables or maybe even as placemats - happy little things aren't they?!
Another from Helen...she wanted to try to "break out" of her rut...the one she isn't in...and this is what she came up with - LOVE it! Half-square triangles make up the zig-zags...easy-peasy!
Stephanie participated in the Old Red Barn Co.quilt along and the quilt above was made from the scraps! Yes - another circle quilt...they just won't die! And we're all so glad because we love them! We have two fairly new members in our group who have yet to make themselves a circle quilt...after seeing this I'm sure it won't be long before they do. Love the colors!
This is one of Dawn's quilts (can't get the underline to go away!) She made this from ONE jelly roll! and the fabrics are from Connecting Threads - they are MUCH less expensive and their fabric feels great!
This is another of Dawn's projects - she is making this tropical quilt for a friend...hey! I'm her friend! I like tropical! Maybe it's for me? The blocks below are mine - (underline went away and I have no idea how or why?!) I had such a grand time appliqueing these blocks...thinking I was going to make a wonderful quilt...then I sewed the square blocks - only to discover I made them all too big, so I tried to do some math and ended up cutting the applique blocks down - only I cut them too small...so I did some more math and now everything is off! Plus my square blocks were supposed to be square...but not all of them are - some are wonky...I'm thinking I need a new hobby...something that doesn't involve math.
