I've made a few quilts in the last year (since it's been almost a year since I posted anything - where did that time go?)  A red white and blue quilt in the summer.

And, when Rose was born we didn't know if it would be a girl or a boy, so I made two. A small red white and blue if it was a boy, and a pinwheel quilt if it was a girl.

The pinwheel fabric was left over from this project.
It was originally going to be a quilt, but the cathedral window is so time consuming, I got this much done and decided a table runner was quite enough.


Then Tesla was having a baby, so I made this quilt for her.


I love the colors.

Then I made a couple more.  My mother had some fabric that I brought home after she died.  I've saved it, hoping I would find a way to use it.  I bought some pastel pre-cuts and they were the perfect way to use the blue piece I got from her.
This one is Simple Squares, and it's a small one.

This one is called Spring Rain, and it's larger. I sent it into Missouri Star to be machine quilted.

I also had a light green piece. I used it for a couple of things. I made a rose quilt for Rose, and another simple squares quilt with leftovers from the quilt I made for Tesla.


Then I ordered a charm pack of pre-cut fabrics from Missouri Star.


It looked like a tablecloth to me, so that's what I made, a small tablecloth for our small table.

Then, near the end of the year I cleaned out the Relief Society closet and brought home some fabric pieces that someone, some time, had donated. Together with pieces from my own scrap bag I put together two quilt tops in one weekend. 


I love the blend of colors on the autumn quilt.
