Happy Half Square Triangles Quilt

This happy quilt was inspired by a quilt I saw while browsing Pinterest,  who had it as a pattern listing from etsy.  But as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to make it from a charm pack so that each HST would finish at 2".  I used a crisp bright white floral for my plain fabric and a lavender pattern for the rings.  This pattern is known by the name Single Wedding Ring. 

Here is the etsy link:

Completed in 2021 and signed and dedicated for the nurse VICIA who retired with me. 

Baby Chunky Bow Ties Quilt

I got the idea for the color placement based on a pin I saw on Pinterest and the collection of a charm pack I had that divided up the colors in a good proportion.  It used 42 colored charms and 21 white/beige charms.  I made the bow tie blocks a little chunky (Cut the charm into 2 (2 1/2") squares and 2 (2") squares) add 2 (2 1/2") neutral squares per block.)

The layout is what makes this magic!  I got the inspiration from this blog:

This quilt is for sale on etsy.  I am asking $40.  It is 31 x 35 inches. Cotton batting, stitch in the ditch every 4".

Summer Napping Quilt

I watched a tutorial and decided I liked the layout shown at the end, which arranged the blocks in groups of 4 forming a star.  And I had a nice set of  fabric 1/8 ths that I thought would be a perfect selection for this pattern.

Some of the lights were too light, and didn't offer enough contrast, but overall I am pleased with this quilt.  The blocks finished at about 18" each, and I had 12 eighths,  so it makes a nice 54 X 72.  I used a thin poly bat for a soft fluffy light weight summer quilt.  I work nights and sleep days and it can get warm in the summer.  I like to sleep with just a light cover, but I like it to be cuddly too.
