more quilts

Once I got a taste of piecing together quilts, I was intrigued by the beauty you can create, so I made a few more. First I pieced together a disappearing nine patch for a neighbor that was having a baby girl. It went together really fast, and because I quilted it on my machine, it was finished in a weekend.

Then I pieced together the scraps from that one and made this one.

Then I got brave enough to start on the quilt that my mother had made with her quilting club and never finished, which involved creating some blocks, and piecing others together that they had made into something that was a pleasing pattern, using fabrics that I brought home from mom's stash.

It was a lot of work, and lots of applique, but I was happy with how it turned out.  Then I sent it to Craig, because he has lived in San Jose most of his life, and raised his kids there.

Then I took a couple of quilt workshops and made some more,

this one was a small practice piece,

and then I made this full sized one with turquoise borders,

 and these silly ones,
which are "fairy quilt godmothers"

I think I'll hang them in my sewing room to watch over my creative efforts.
