The Best Things in Life Are Free!

My guild usually has a "free" table set up at workshops and retreats, and I can't resist bringing some fabric home with me. This quilt is made using one-yard cuts of three fabrics that I picked up a few months ago from one of those "free" tables. The pattern is free and called "Pink Picture Frame" by Wood Valley Designs.

I had some fabric left over for the center part of the back. The red is from a backing that I had used on another quilt.

Another Finish

I finished this Quick Strippie quilt in October, but I'm just catching up with posting it here on my blog.

Here's a closeup...

Still Catching Up

I finished this quilt back in July, in time for my guild's 2018 exhibit. It's the "Turning Twenty" pattern, which uses 20 fat quarters with almost no waste, which means that very little went into my scrap pile when I was done!

Wow, November Already!

It's been months since I last wrote a blog post, but that doesn't mean I haven't been quilting. I've made quite a few tops this year, but many still need to be quilted and bound. Here's one I finished in September for a new member of the family on my husband's side. It's the fourth one I've made using gingham fabrics that I bought in a thrift store several years ago. You can see the other three by clicking here, here, and here.

This baby's grandma is the owner of the chevron gingham quilt I made in 2013, so I thought it would be quite appropriate to make the baby's quilt out of the same fabrics.
