Wagon Wheel...this was my first paper piecing class.
Once I did the first block in this quilt I realized that this was going to be a challenge to carry the balance throughout the quilt and yet not overwhelm it with all the bold patterns and colors. This is one of my favorites up to this point.
Fall quilt...
Recently, I was trying to find quilting blogs to see what was really out there in the way of fresh, upbeat designs. What I stumbled onto in the process was a list of amazing talented bloggers. I fell in love with this quilt. As I was driving thru NH "leaf peeping", I thought it would be awesome to use the solid color idea that Lisa (The Red Headed Mermaid) used with the vibrant the fall foliage, kinda like looking at the floorboard of an autumn forest...and this is what I came up with.
What I have been working on :-)
Here are 3 baby quilts that I have been waiting to take pictures of, a sunny day after a new snow. The top quilt I got the idea from Creations. The bottom quilt is my design and my very first attempt at paper piecing of border irregular triangles. That border is actually sewn to a backing fabric. The bright purple and teal quilt is a railroad pattern done in all batiks which I got from the Quilts Quilts Quilts book.
