Climbing tribute - This quilt was made for my 21 year old daughter who interned for Exum Mountain guides in Jackson Wy. This was her 4th summer in the Teton region. She loves to climb and by the end of the summer she was hired by Exum to come back and guide for them next summer.
Is it done yet? - This quilt is made for my grandson who has been patiently waiting in line for his quilt to be made. I made the quilt 6 strips wide to fit a double or queen bed. The picture shows it on a queen bed. The gradient is 14 different fabrics from the center square which is longer than the pattern. It took 1/2 yard of each color. It's the most fun pattern I've done so far and went together fast. The backing is Moda KS Troubles Gold and the quilting makes it so beautiful the quilt can be reversible.
Christmas Between Friends - I had collected Christmas fabrics for a few years. I had promised to make my daughter-in-law and Christmas quilt. I also made a table runner with the left over fabrics.
Quilt Block on House - I have read in magazines that people are painting quilt blocks on their barns and sheds. I live in a sub-division in a small town and our home has vinyl siding. So my husband came up with the idea to make the 4 foot x 4 foot quilt block out of metal that sign makers use. The quilt block was drawn on the metal and each section painted with outdoor house paint. The stitch lines were made using a permenant black marker. He mounted the block on wood and painted that black. It took three men to mount the quilt block above the garage door. It is the only one in town and most likely the county.
String Pieced Rainbow - Using scraps from previous quilts, I made a series of string pieced blocks on muslin foundations. I made blocks in every color of the rainbow, trying to stay in the light to medium value range.
Thanks for identifying Ocean Waves - I found twenty of these blocks at an estate sale. Thanks to all who answered, after seeing your quilts and suggestions, I think this is the way she meant to put it together.
Turtle Party - Found at an estate sale, this quilt top was pieced with the same sugar sack material as the previous one. The block is based on the drunkard's path.
Rag Quilt - Found at an estate sale, this quilt top was pieced on sugar sacks. One label was left on and it reads in part, "American Crystal Sugar Co. Grand Forks, Minnesota".
Christmas Past - The original quilt was made in the 1800s and had 42 blocks I used my favorite blocks. My first hand applique quilt, and machine quilted by my sister Renee Larson.
