Traditional Blocks

 This quilt was pieced several years ago from sewing studio scraps, sat on a shelf, and recently caught my eye and I decided to finish it. Its a generous lap sized quilt just waiting for a home.

Brown Goose Quilt

 Inspired by a tutorial on Missouri Star Quilts named Brown Goose Quilt, I made the blocks smaller and set them with some sashing. They are yellow blocks with darker grey backgrounds and sashing. 




Sister's Choice Baby Quilt

 Thisa is a quilt I have made so many times!  Each block takes 1/2 of a jellyroll strip in each of 2 colors plus 1 jellyroll strip in the background. I took the tutorial from Missouri Star Quilt Company. 9 blocks later, add some sashing and a border, a BEAUTIFUL Sister's Choice Quilt!




These fabrics were from JoAnn Fabrics Quilters Paradise line, on sale. I purchased a quarter yard of each and a yard of the background, a white with pink polka dots.

Bright Abstract Lap Quilt

 I was inspired by a quilt I saw on Pinterest. I followed the pattern very close to what I saw with fabrics I bought in Anaheim, a collection of bright mottled fabrics paired with crisp white.

Rail Fence Baby Quilt

 Made from the scraps of another baby quilt this came together quickly in greens and orange car/truck/go fabrics. It was gifted immediatly to Laketa for her fourth grandchild, first grandson. Zayden. 





Pinwheels and Four Patches, Double Square Star

 This sweet lap quilt was inspired by a tutorial by Jenny Doan named Pinwheel Frolic... but inspired only, I changed it up a bit. It was fun to make with a charm pack and some pink and peach yardage. 



Dedicated for JANICE  in 2021 for her retirement from NICU. We shared a retirement party!

Disappearing 4-patch Weave

 I am always challenged after watching a tutorial from Missouri-Star (Jenny Doan) to make the block she is teaching.  This one is called a Disappearing 4-patch weave.  She starts with a simple patch, then slices it, twists some of the pieces, and reassembles it.  Wow!  Something new and unexpected!

This is a cozy lap-sized quilt with gorgeous secondary colors and a nice, neutral backgrounsd. The border is a treasure from stash.
