Quilts -

I have not posted in quite a while so am trying to play catch up. I have been lazy this past year. I have been working at downsizing books, music, clothes etc. You know how it is in a big house with lots of space having lived here over 50 years.

Front and Back - My design
 "Rhapsody in Blue"
BQ2 Maple Island Quilt pattern 
I had never made me a quilt so 
decided it was time. 56"x70"
 "Dresden Neighborhood"

This was so much fun to make. I made my own
roofs, windows and doors ironed on. 
Houses hand applique and in the ditch .
 "SOUNDS OF MUSIC"
Another gal and I chose different size blocks over a 7 month period. Our purpose was to teach how to put them together. Mine was 42" but they could do any size they liked. They were displayed in our quilt show.

Could not purchase a kit for a small runner using these fabrics from Connecting Threads because they were sold out. So decided to purchase the country fabric and it just grew.  78"x37"

I had seen similar ones so decided to design my own.
 "SPLASH"
This was a panel and a practice quilt
piece and decided I liked it for my kitchen
that has similar colors. So finished it by putting borders on it!
