Lexi's I Spy Quilt

Flower Power - This is what I did with the blocks I received from a block exchange my bee had. Everything is raw edge appliqued except for the yo-yos in the center of the flowers. I usually don't like block exchanges but this one was fun!

Eighties Quilt - This was a mystery workshop through my guild, The Flying Geese. We called it the Eighties because each step called for 'eighty' units. We got sick and tired of counting up to eighty. I really love this quilt, partly because of the polka dot fabric and partly because I normally wouldn't choose a pattern with so many pieces (especially triangles!).

Feeding the Eagles - This is my first attempt at a landscape quilt. It depicts some of the fauna we have seen at our favorite fishing spot. We enjoy feeding the bald eagles!

Winged Snails - I made this quilt in a workshop to learn how to use the square-in-a-square ruler. My mother had given me the butterfly wings fabric and it 'marinated' in my stash for 3 years before I was ready to use it. My friend (and guild president) Erin Underwood did a beautiful job quilting it with butterflies. The border is my own design.

'Lowers & Butter'lies (detail)

'Lowers & Butter'lies - Blocks were made in 2000 and put together, quilted and embellished in 2005.

Lisa's Limes and Flowers - This gorgeous pattern was on the cover of McCall's Quilting magazine. Little did I know when I started it that there were 1044 one inch squares!! Thank God for strip piecing! I made most of it at a guild marathon. Had a ball with the beautiful lime fabrics. I jazzed up the borders a bit.

Harmonic Dreams - I made this after seeing Ricky's show for my guild. I bought some of his hand-dyed fabric and his book. I added the batik for the border. Had a great time making it and it won't be my last! It hangs on the wall over my bed.

My First Quilt - First Quilt I had ever made. I took a "Quilt in a Day" Class with some friends just for fun, little did I know it would start an addiction!!!

Tropical Eureka - This quilt is a replacement quilt for my bed. The colors are inspired by yellow and red hibiscus flowers and deep green tropical foliage.

Cosmic Kaleidoscope - Multi-colored batik strip sets are triangle cut to form mirror sections of the kaleidoscope wedges. The kaleidoscope is set off by two borders, one pieced to set off the medallion.

Luminous Picnic Star - An octagonal quilt made with batiks, hand dyed and pastel print fabrics inspired by the colors of tropical foliage and flowers as well as the inset triangle fabric.
