Nov 2008: Comfy #6, Skater
I though this upholstery/drapery fabric printed with skating equipment (on
sale at Hancocks) would make a great teen quilt. The back is a nice Hawaiian
fleece print. I have more of the skater fabric and will probably make some
kind of strip or block quilt out of it next year.
Oct 2008: Comfy #5, Mauve
Mom and Betsy bought a big bag of scrap fabric from a thrift store in Ft.Walton Bch. When I visited them for the weekend I
found some nice purples, blues, and mauves that I was able to put into this nice top in just a day or two.
Sept 2008: Comfy #4, Sneakers
I found this fabric last summer and made it into this pattern called "Magical Cubes"
from just triangles and squares.
June 2008: Comfy #3, Rustic Zigzag
I cut and pieced most of this quilt at the Guild Quilt-a-thon in Feb.
May 2008: NICU #3, Rust & Blue
Originally this was a wall hanging for a friend, almost all hand quilted in blue, white, and gold thread. Unfortunately I could not
get the chalk marks off. A dozen years later, I tried again with slightly better success. Some blocks still
show a little blue or white chalk marks that scrubbing with a toothbrush and repeated washings did not remove.
Some of the sashing was machine quilted with gold bobbin thread and clear top thread to emulate the previous hand
quilting.
Apr 2008: Comfy #2, Monkey Business
Joann's in FWB had this nice Monkey Business border print. I cut it so the main part of the
border surrounds a simple star, then used the remaining border at the top and bottom, after adding
the applique corner blocks with stars and hearts.
Mar 2008: NICU #2, Moo Over Mountain
Inspired by this wonderful cow fabric, the moon-over-mountain pattern is
one I'd done before in Julia Zimmerman's baby quilt. I got the border and backing
fabric from our guild quilt-a-thon in Feb.
Feb 2008: Comfy #1, Alphabet Blocks
I used up the leftover fabric from Darby's baby quilt. Coral print back and binding is
left over from a dress.
Jan 2008: NICU #1, Pastel Baby Blocks
I found this panel fabric, and combined it with various
sized blocks to make a small quilt.
