Disappearing Four Patch

 Using 4 1/2 inch squares made overseas, I finished this little quilt. The split 4 patches were then placed in a different solud star and set in the "Circle Of Nine" arrangement.

Inspired by Jenny Doan's weekly tutorial:

Set totally on a white muslin background it was then quilted with angular motifs and a little border pizazz.

Disappearing Shoo Fly

 Made this generous 53 x 66 quilt for a fundraiser silent auction at Ezekiel's school. 


It's made from a Missouri Star Quilt tutorial

The fabrics are from my Mexican Fabric Collection with different neutral backgrounds. The border is a great floral stripe. 



I free motion quilted some simple linear swirls in the body with curves in the borders.

Baby Under The Sea

 I just finished another darling baby quilt using the Missouri Star tutorial on the Ohio Star Quilt.    https://youtu.be/Dh6K4zUnfw8?si=9x0Cp4Y-dKvSJKfl



Made for Virginia, the organist at St Andrew's for a grand-nephew. She liked the quilt I made recently for Patty and asked for something like that. https://anita-rancherita.blogspot.com/2023/10/outer-space-baby-quilt.html?m=0


The fabrics for the most part came from my Under The Sea fabric collection, inspired by baby quilts made for my Grandson and other fishy quilts made over the years. 


The back is a great piece I picked up at JoAnn at their Black Friday sale for $3.99/yards and the scraps and bits leftover from the tiny 6 1/2" Ohio Star blocks. 



The sashing is a great watery swirl with cornerstones of shells and fish in a pretty aqua green. 



The overall quilting is big curvy circles and serpentine lines in the borders.
