Mosaic, Princess,Quilt for Kids,The First One, Bars & Tumblers

 This quilt is called Mosaic.  It was given to a friend who takes dialysis treatments and they stated that it gets very cold sitting there waiting on their blood to get washed. This quilt should keep them warm.  This block is called Frog in the pond.
This is a baby quilt called Princess.  The fabric is from a Disney movie The Princess and the Frog.  Introducing, Princess Tiana.


This is a Quilt for Kids quilt.  Made and quilted for a great cause.  Google it to get your kit and make a quilt for sick kids. This was made from the kit that they sent to me.

Another QFK quilt.  This was made from my fabric stash and sent back to them with the quilt above.  The color blocks are 5 in. charm squares and the yellow blocks are cut to size from yardage. I did cross hatch quilting on it.

"The First One".  My very first quilt that was hand pieced and "machine quilted" if you can call it that!  I did my best.  It was made in 2003.  I still have it. It was a quilt for my son who is 16 now and it was quite tattered.  I mended it and did some more quilting on it and I retired it.

This is a throw called Bars & Tumblers.  This is actually the name of the pattern.  I saw it in a quilting magazine and decided to do my own take on it.  The blocks are 2in. X 4in. and the sashing is 2in. X wof (width of fabric). Totally scrappy.  Helps to put a dent in your stash and comes together quickly.

African Safari

This quilt was made from a pattern in Quilters World. I just mixed it up by choosing bright colors and combined them with animal prints.  This quilt was sold.

Moose

This is a quilt throw called "Moose", hence the center piece and corners.  The center piece and corners were part of a panel that I cut apart and incorporated into this throw. It measures about 65 in. X 70 in. The trees and leaves are pieced.  Machine quilted by me on my HSM.
