Scrappy Court House

This is a scrappy court house steps quilt.  The blocks are 12 inches finished.  The center is a 5 inch charm and the strips are about 1.5 inches.  The fabric came from my scrap basket because it was getting too big and I needed to make a dent in it.  The back is pieced from the left over scraps from the front of this quilt.

The quilting was done on a home sewing machine.  I used a walking foot.  I started from the center of the quilt and quilted a spiraling square until I reached the outside of the quilt.  The lines are quilted at 1 inch apart.

Charity Quilt 2

This is a what I call a utility quilt or a charity quilt.  This quilt was made from donated fabrics.  The fabrics were polyester (orange), poly/cotton (black), and knits (blue/white).  It was a bit of a challenge working with something other than 100% cotton, but once I committed to it, I had to make it happen.  It just proves that you can work with other fabrics and still make a beautiful quilt.  This quilt was donated to an elderly neighbor friend.

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.
