Quilts

[bertine]

Every time I go over to my parents house and hang out with the quilt I made my mom I am proud of the work I did on that and it makes me want to finish up more quilts.

Last night I made this top with the leftover space invader pieces:


I am going to give it to Zach's cousin's daughter (The ones that live in wine country). I really want to try to quilt it with the Orange Peel quilt pattern. I have to go to Joann's anyways so I'll get some cheap fabric to practice on before I attempt it.

After I am done with that I will be working on my sister's quilt:



I was scared to work on it because it was so big but when I pulled it out last night I realized it is smaller than the space invader. That makes it easy. I am not sure what quilt pattern I will do. I was thinking about following the outside lines of the boxes. Then hand-stiching around some of the white square with a thick colorful thread.

Also, I am making slow but steady progress on my flowers:

You went with the sunflower design. :-)

You do incredible work, you should be proud. :-)

I did! Though after I was done I realized I had three extra patchwork blocks so I could have taken the center one out and added the block inside the middle blocks to make a starburst pattern.

Oh well, I'll put the last three ones on the back and be done with it.
