Next I have another attempt at dealing with my novelty fabric "problem". When I started quilting back in the 90's, Debbie Mumm's designs thrilled me...to the point of buying an awful lot of Noah and his ark. (I am fighting with Blogger again about where I want to place text)...So here is the quilt top and then the quilt back. I actually still enjoy Noah...fortunately. This quilt was simply designed to showcase the large images.
One initial plan for this fabric was to use a "10 minute block" method that I saw posted on Happy Cottage Quilter's blog but it didn't work so well with these novelties. Zebra would be Zera in all the blocks. I do like the idea of this method though and will look for a chance to use it.
On to newer fabric...but still a few years old...I made a king size quilt for my friend several years ago for her wedding. Recently, I realized I had leftover blocks and lots of fabric I could use to make a smaller version for myself. This quilt is called Buckeye Beauty in Marsha McCloskey's Quick Classic Quilts. Tonya chose the fabric collection from my stash and selected this pattern. It is still a favorite with both of us. For mine, I quilted it with a pattern called Plumage...which seems to be my current favorite.
I have been doing some embroidery and now quilting on a couple of little quilts planned for Christmas presents....no pictures available because of the surprise factor. And today I have gathered up all the Psalms blocks and will start on putting them together with sashing fabric. I will show a picture next time because if I try to add it now...who knows where it will show up in this post.
Hope you are having a wonderful summer day!
Look at you go. I remember those Noah's Ark prints. You've come up with a great way to showcase them *s*
ReplyDeleteI like all the quilts that you finished. Quite a variety. I need to get busy real soon and finish a few of my many quilts that have just a few things, like backing, batting and quilting. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteSuch nice finishes...and all from stash! Mr. Walking Rabbit is just too cute.
ReplyDeleteI just love your bunny. The plaid fabric you used for him is perfect. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWow, your quilting is fabulous on your finished quilt. Love it.
Got a lot done this summer.
Some great finishes...love the bunny...he turned out so cute!
ReplyDeletei like the primitive rabbit as well...very neat!!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry the 10 Minute Block didn't work. Check out my post tomorrow, as I made a tablerunner from some leftover blocks. Love the bunny :-)
ReplyDeleteI just love this walking bunny! How did I miss your post?! I must have been ill still. I remember seeing Karen post it...yours is cute too!! Makes me want one!
ReplyDeleteYour walking bunny has such a cute red jacket. I made two of these. One for myself and one for a gift. I also prepped another for a friend to stitch.
ReplyDeleteLove your work! I found your blog through the Slow Poke Quilters blog list. Hope you don't mind having a new follower. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post....lots of eye candy....
ReplyDeleteI just realized that I have another one of the walking rabbits prepped that needs stitching. I am not tired of making them.
