Stack 'n Whack & BQ2 (2)

These have been in process and finally finished quilting and binding them. Brown/Turquoise is a stack 'n whack....did my own thing on it... I have twin grandsons and they wanted a quilt for their twin beds...it is BQ2 pattern. They both picked out their fabric. This is Joshua's and he chose motor bikes with blue/brown that looked like wood...he said it looked like a boy.



This is the back so it can be used both sides.This is Jacob's with a baseball glove/bat.



The background is map of US...(not true to placement)take note of the lobster (Maine)

Christmas Fantasy & Windmill Frenzy

Our Tacoma Quilt group finally had reveal day...Above is 'Christmas Fantasy' . It was a mix and match wall hanging. There were 5 elements. Theme: Christmas; Block: Sawtooth Star; Fabric: Plaid; Embellishment: Ribbon;. Nineteen of our group did them and had different choices that they drew. It is 24" sq.

Twelve of us finished this 35" wall hanging below. This was our mystery quilt that we received instructions over a 4 mo. period. We did not know what it was going to look like until the last instruction. Original name is "O Tacoma" by our Pres. Barb who designed it in EQ7. I decided to rename mine 'Windmill Frenzy'. It reminded me of windmills and I was frenzied a lot of the time...smile!!!

These were both fun to do. You can check out the rest of the designs on our blog for Tacoma Quilters
