After making a couple of leaf quilt blocks...

I tried it out with scraps.

Aren’t scraps fun??

Here is the block BEFORE the scrappy version.

What are YOUR thoughts about 

Scrappy vs. NOT scrappy??

I quilted a quilt top this week!

I made this cute “I spy” quilt almost a year ago....

 

Details HERE and HERE.

And now.....

There’s a new baby to gift it to!

I will add a label and send it off.

Baby quilts are one of very favorite things to make!

I took the tiniest pieces of fabric this week and just played!

It’s fun to play with fabric and thread!

I call it doodling.

:)

Happy Valentines Day friends!

These little hanging hearts are just 6”.

The perfect size to hang on a knob somewhere.

What are YOU making this week??

I am working on a new quilt.

I saw a quilt in a Quiltmania magazine.

It was in the quilts in homes section...so there was no info.

It was hanging on a wall...and I couldn’t even see the whole thing....

But....I was smitten.

I am working away on this new project.

Y seams.

Appliqué.

A NOT so easy block for me.

This week I have been making log cabins.

Free style!!

This quilt top has been unfinished for quite a while now.

I just added the appliqué on the left.....but....it still needs some little circles.

Then I’ll add some more free style log cabins to get it bigger.

Queen sized??   Maybe.

I played with strings this week.

Don't you LOVE string quilts?

They are definitely one of my favorite kinds of quilts.

This nine patch of strings was made using 6" squares

and 6" half square triangles I made using a foundation.

Sometimes I use a foundation and sometimes I don't.

My old phone book contains the perfect foundation paper.

I hope it never runs out!

LOL

Here's a small section of a quilt top that is still waiting to be quilted.

Someday........

I did a little size comparison this week.

Have you every changed a block by just 1/2”?

It is truly amazing how much that 1/2" changes the finished size!

I compared 16 patch blocks using

1 1/2”, 2” and 2 1/2” squares.  

This is an oldie but goodie using 2” squares.

After the comparison....I don't think I'll be using anything smaller!

LOL

A small glimpse at my postage stamp quilt....queen sized.
