“Steampunk Fairytale” I really loved the fabrics when I saw this quilt! It is a Quiltworx pattern and paper-pieced. It is my 2nd quilt by this designer.

“Christmas Cactus” When looking for a tree skirt pattern I found this on a Facebook post. I loved the uncluttered lines and contrasting colors. It was my first Quiltworx paper-pieced pattern and a I learned a lot.

My son, a former Marine, served two tours in Afghanistan. Over the years, I’ve saved quite a collection of Marines fabric, and was overjoyed when he asked me to make a quilt for him. It had to be something really special in honor of his service, so I decided upon Mariners compass. This HST setting beautifully frames the compass and created a king size quilt for his 36 birthday.

When I retired from my summer job, I was given a gift card to a quilt shop. I purchased the pattern and the fabric and made the quilt top and then it sat in a bag for 8 years. Until I finally got it out and quilted it.

Small group (Ladies of the Cloth) challenge. Hated paper piecing until I really got into it about block 50.

“She Came To Her Senses” Our small group took on this challenge. We quickly realized it would be a multi-year project. I didn’t want a large quilt so started reducing the blocks by 50%. After about 30 littles I tried making the 3 inch size. I quickly “came to my senses” and made the larger blocks. When I needed more small ones I was quite selective in my choices. Highly recommend Sam Hunters Fourteen Squared pattern for a pieced back.

“Magical Illusion” The dark blue and blue flower fabric was won at June Inspirations. I have challenged myself to make something from that fabric for our next meeting. One difficulty was needing more fabric and trying to use every bit that I had! Also, 30 degree triangles have lots of bias!! It was fun to get all of the pieces facing the correct way.

“Hot Sauce” In March, I won a bundle of red and orange fabrics from the Inspiration meeting. I made a top but I felt it needed something so I added appliqued circles in a variety of sizes. I used up the extra fabric pieces in a border and on the back.
