I Thought I would show you what I have been working on lately. The scrappy strip foundation squares are ongoing and these are just a few of the completed ones. I have about 30 done now. Just need to sew into rows. The blue and yellow is so pretty! It is from two charm packs of Sunshine by Moda The colors are just wonderful and soft! I haven't decided it I am going to keep it or give it away. The 30" grandmother's fan is a mini with blocks being only 6" square, just needs borders sewn on and they are pinned right there on the quilt. HAHA. The red heart quilt has a story behind it. I was in an Internet swap group years ago and we swapped blocks for every holiday, every birthday, you name it, we swapped for it. It was fun, but I had all these blocks and no ideas to put them together. So the other day, I dug in my 2 1/2" strip drawer and pulled out all the pinks and reds and used those as sashings and borders. I had the batting and the backing is a cute purple print with red hearts on it! It is quilted as of yesterday and it needs binding. I plan to give this one to Amber, my daughter, who is my heart.
Amber finally got an apartment and is now offically on her own after about a year of bouncing from friend to friend. She feels so good about this and I know she will do well. The heart quilt will be a nice gift for her new apartment.
I also finished a little quilt that I used a sampler for quilting pratice on Easy Quilter. I bought this at Houston qult show on a whimm. Not a good investment for me. I could not get the hang of it. I did better with free motion. So if anyone is interested, I have an Easy quilter for sale.
