wonky block quilt

Another ufo. It is going to be a funky crib quilt. I had "boy" in mind but wouldn't you know it both my friends had girls sooo... wonky star quilt was quickly made in its place.

Not sure how I want to finish it...

Coin quilt


Queen size coin quilt with dark chocolate and in Kaffe Fassett's yummy vibrant fabric. Wish I had a pic of the backing which is Japanese geisha's in orange and reds.
I made this for someone who I knew would get a kick out of the backing.. a little surprise when you flip it over.
Love all the colors.

jelly roll ufo


Fun with a jelly roll

Something I whipped up awhile ago, now a ufo. Not really crazy about the colors but it's for a cottage and I wanted the old fashion feel. I think it works. Still have to back it... not my fav part. Love to design the front but finishing , not so much.

How simple is a jelly roll! Decide your pattern, already cut strips.. Too simple.

But as I've been experimenting I've found I love flying by the seat of my pants. Creative juices flowing, mix it up, go for the wonky blocks. More my style at the moment. Random fabric, not pre cut, go for it!

I just got my hands on a Husqvarna Rose.. Anyone have one? My mom's friend was basically giving it away so I grabbed it. Can't wait to play. And now I will be able to try my hand at free motion and possibly want to finish more of my ever growing quilt tops... yippee!

Late spring


Don't you love the glowing colors this time of year? At least in my neck of the woods it is lush and vibrant. Love it!
