Colorful Waves - Another Fool around Fun

Shhh...these are Christmas gifts. This is a quilt I did in a class with Freddie Moran..finished the top in '08 and finally completed for my granddaughter. Used all dot material...I had it quilted by Ann Hussey...it is 88 x 70". The black border has pin size dots of all colors in it. Could not find a place to take a picture so took it out doors this morning...around 16 degrees...brrrr!! A close up of the very colorful backing I used.
This is another 'fool around fun'...I added an extra border for length as the men in my family always complain it is never long enough...you cannot tell but it really blends very nice. 60 x 73". This one has a sports theme accent for a grandson.

Autumn Opulence-New Project

This is my newest project. I am making this for a dear friend. It is a kit 'Autumn Opulence' taken from Fabric Trends Fall 2009. It said it was a 'beginner' quilt but it is more an 'intermediate'...there was a lot of piecing...its layout is what makes it attractive. Will not be finished until the first of next year but wanted to do a little to see what it looked like. Well I am off to finish two quilt tops for Christmas.
