This one is my Lotto block for Thimbleberries Quilt Club. The focus fabric is the plaid, the block is Winged Arrows from QIAD free patterns.
This one is made up of practice blocks and backed with fleece for the play room.
This one is my Round Robin. I made the Eagle from Sue Bouchard's Star Spangled Favorites book. The first border is by SewSew, the second by QuilterLiz and the third by LHostelley. Isn't it beautiful. They really improved on my center block!
I watched Eleanor demonstrate how to take a cross stitch pattern and make it into a quilt pattern. Well, good thing I used 1" grid fusible because this owl covered my dining room table before I started sewing the seams! Luckily it shrunk down to 35" tall. Mostly Thimbleberries fabric, with some Hoffman for the sky.
The next picture is the Don't Fence Me In quilt that I made for my son's 17th birthday. It took nearly an hour to choose fabric that did not have flowers in it! He loved his quilt. Told me it would be a keepsake quilt and he would always treasure it.
The next picture might be hard to see. It's the back of my son's quilt. The back is smooth brown Minkee. It was not difficult to quilt but very difficult to photograph. I wanted to show the quilting. I did stitch in the ditch on every seam and on the border, I did a large meander stitch (which my son calls military quilting!).
