Tan Squares and Stars

Here is a quilt I started a long time ago. It's evolved and changed several times. Till I ended up with this. I have 10 blocks left to quilt and the binding needs to be added. I hope to finish it this month.

Variable Star

Had a couple of busy weeks haven't posted to the blog for awhile. Here's is a variable star quilt I'm working on. Thought the pattern would be nice to show off some hand quilting. The blocks went together real fast. It was a nice way to save some favorite fabrics. I need to finish quilting and add the binding.

Scrap Angels Quilt Top

I finished 2 quilt tops over the week end. The first is Scrap Angles. It is made up of half square triangles that are sorted in to light and dark.



Then set in blocks so that a secondary pattern is formed when the blocks are set together. The light is the center of the block.

I started this quilt 6 years ago. And its been down to the last 2 seams for about 2 months. Why are the last seams so hard to just do.



Okay for anyone who is interested 72 pieces in a block. 36 blocks = 2592 triangles in this quilt.

Texas 2 Step

Here is a quilt top I finished in April. The pattern was from my book by Judy Martin Ultimate Book of Quilt Block
Patterns. The block is called Texas Two-Step. I had made a few of these using scraps a year ago. So I made a few more and added sashes. The blocks are 14" square. I'm putting this in the box for finished quilt tops. I'm not going to start hand quilting any more quilts till I finish the ones I have started. Someday I want to buy a longarm.
