Blogger's Quilt Festival Entry

I'm still tickled pink my Oriental Spring won a ribbon at the Valley Quilter's Quilt show this year.  I made this back a while but it has always been been one of my favorites.  I learned a lot about applique and quilting doing it.  The flowers are 3 dimensional and the quilt is reversable.  I made a circular design on the back to honor the Japanese tradition to use these in their quilts.  I really like how the iris came out.  And I love red.  So this is my entry for the Spring Bloggers Quilt Festival. To join the festival, click on the button below.  There are a lot of beautiful quilts there!    

Design Wall Monday

Okay, here is what I have on my design wall (err make that carpet)or had that is. One orphan block - well, actually I have 13, but I've come up with a design for the other 12 and are approximately 17" squarish, so that makes this an orphan. I've decided to make a coverlet(that's a quilt without batting) as a summer throw. This is going to be totally from my scraps. In keeping with that I've picked an old curtain of which you can see the back under the dresden plate block. I got that at a fabric swap as I really liked the print. So first order of business is to machine applique the block to the center of the backing. Yes, this will be a "quilt as I find to add".

UFO #7

Okay, it's just a pre-printed/quilted panel. I just refuse to call it a cheater panel - LOL. I added the binding. It was a ufo cuz I bought it out of a bargain bin with every intention of making a baby quilt, so to me it qualifies as a ufo - it was waiting to get finished.

This one's going to the local crisis pregnancy center. Thin - just right for summer. Now to find UFO #8.

Hugs,
