Back of Tigress

This is the back of the Tigress quilt.  I pieced an eight pointed star and used a leopard print and I also used some of the fabric scraps that were left over from making the front of the quilt.

The Tigress

Hello all,

I have been a busy person these last two months.  I had to take a break from grad school  and during my break, what else could I do but quilt?  I have made a few quilts over the last two months.  My latest quilt is made for a dear friend of mind who has been a part of my life for the last 15 years.  Even though we no longer live in the same state, she and her husband are still my friends.  The quilt's name is The Tigress because she loves animal print.  I also chose the animal print because the tiger is a strong and beautiful animal and Ms. A. is strong and beautiful, so enjoy!  This is a pattern and not one of my originals....This pattern was found in Quilter's World Magazine in April 2009, page 64 by Bev Gretschel.  I love this pattern.

UFO

These two pillows are a result of UFO's (un-finished-objects).  The dresden plates were originally part of a table runner which sat in my home for 2 1/2 yrs unfinished.  About a few days ago, I was looking through my stash of fabric and came across them and I became inspired to finish them.  So, I picked them apart and separated them and made these two pillows.  One of them I use for back support while sewing.  I like them much better as a pillow than a table runner.
