First "quilts"................

Hi again,

    I could not even wait to show you my new stuff. First up the mug rugs with matching cup cozies. I like using much rugs to try new techniques, such as free motion quilting.




I have also worked on some quilts. You will find that I LOVE Scrap quilts. So I make a lot of scrap quilts.  These quilts are made for  Blanks for Linus. I was given scraps from the charity Girls Helping Girls. Where sewers donate fabric and make dresses for people in need. After the dress pieces were cut out they bag up a bunch of "scraps" and give them to quilters who quilt for Blankets for Linus. Here are two of the quilts I make from my bag of scraps. I have two more that are works in process. I usually try to make boy quilts but these needed to become girl quilts. I add from my fabric stash where and when needed. Please support these wonderful charities. All I am showing right now are the quilt tops. I hope you like.


This quilt was inspired by this quilt.  I used a few of the triangle blocks. I also used more scraps for the sashing. I thought a random placements of the triangles was best.  This is the layout I likes the best.

This quilt was  made up of the leftovers from the quilt above. Each center is made of multiple 1" strips. I likes the brick look of the blocks .
       

What are your favorite types of quilts to make?
