Woodland Creatures Quilt


I found this Woodland Creature Panel. .


I do not remember how long it has been hanging about.  It is now a quilt.



I put extra batting in the creatures bodies and quilted
close to the bodies creating a bit
of a trapunto style out line.

And a bright strippy binding to a pine cone backing.
It turned out quite lovely.

On the July long weekend in 2001, I was home alone and made this Maple Leaf wall hanging.  It has hung in some great places over the years...usually in a window or off a balcony like a flag.

 

It is more than a bit faded.
And along came fabric markers.
Lots of fun refurbishing the reds.
I may colour the binding....or not.

Wonky Blue Cabin

Wonky Blue Cabin is a strips and string style quilt.  
I keep a supply of the red centres, making blocks as the supply of strings avail themselves.😊
It is 94/84".  It is a bright quilt, with a soft beige back.

  The previous one like this one reads Red.

Jelly Roll Experiment



This is a jelly roll that I added a couple of solids, on an angle, thought it might make it more interesting. It turned out okay😊
The back is a heavier cotton. It was a donation as is this quilt, a donation quilt. 
I used the left over of the back to make the binding.  It is not a picture that does it justice, it is a pleasant quilt.



 
Cheers,

A Long Time Gone

I started a quilt called "Long Time Gone",  pattern by J.Kingwell in November.
The blocks are small.  These churn dashes finish at 3.5".  Well they should finish at 3.5", if I trim them down to that, there will not be any points. I am going to try again tomorrow.  I will also use solid white for the back ground.  Live and Learn.

Cheers,
