New quilt: Red square

I have been on a sewing rampage, and managed to get another quilt top finished. This one (I'm calling it Red Square) is a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law. I'm halfway through quilting it and still hoping to get the binding sewn on before Friday... Nothing like a little last minute pressure!

In between blocks for the Red Square quilt, I've been sewing the scraps together to make scrappy rectangles. As I love quilts with white sashing, I hope to make enough of these for an entire quilt... one day.





I have nearly finished the triple blue irish chain quilt for my mother-in-law... a bit more binding left to sew down. Here is the latest photo, with border and binding sewn on (but not finished).

Finally, last month I made some more pinwheels for my scrappy pinwheel quilt. Slowly but surely, I am getting closer to my goal of 500 of these!

better late than never

It's been awhile, but while it appears I'm not really cut out for blogging, I've managed to make a few things since my last post in May.

I finished the black and white rail fence top (but still haven't managed to put it together...) and the Neptune quilt. Photos to come.

This little blanket was for my husband's cousin's baby boy.

I've just finished most of this quilt top. Rushing to get it finished in the next few weeks, as I'm planning ito give it to my mother-in-law for Christmas. Still need to put the border on...
