Batik Buckeye Beauty

Batik Buckeye Beauty
 
I've always loved the Buckeye Beauty pattern, and I especially like it with these bright batiks against a black batik background!
 
 
Happy Quilting!

30's Hodge Podge

30's Hodge Podge
 
Okay.... so, every once in a while, I get carried away and find myself going too far (or at least too far astray), and suddenly it's a Hodge Podge of design elements that might not play well together. That's kind of what happened here. It's an "okay" quilt, but would have been much better if I had just decided on something and stuck to it.
 
 
I've already started over on the Grandma's Flower Garden parts, to do one in a more traditional fashion, which I think I'll like better. In the meantime, I have a potential Christmas gift done for a family member next December!
 
Happy Quilting!

Reassembled top

Finished another one. This was made from parts of a quilt top that was sent to me. I ripped it apart and retrimmed the parts so they were accurate, and put it back together adding in some dark sage green for accents. I finished the flimsie months ago, but just now got it quilted and the binding done.
 
 
Happy Quilting!

Grandmother's Flower Garden

Grandmother's Flower Garden parts

See.... I really AM working on a GFG quilt! These still have the paper and basting stitches. I'll leave those in place until I have at least a row done.

30s Dresden Plate

I had always wanted a quilt of my own done in the 30s style colors and fabrics, so I finally made the decision to make one! This is my happy place!! Would I do anything different.. maybe here and there, but I am quite content with the way it turned out in general.

CWR Sampler

Civil War Reproduction Fabric scraps
Sampler
 
I had some left over HSTs and scraps from other CWR projects, so I put them into a sampler.
