Some quilts I have made and donated lately!

I don't think I got photos of all...one of my first goals was to make some "unisex" or boy quilts! Seems I always make "girly" combinations .... And lots of baby boys could use a quilt too!

Using grey solid for several of these!

 

 

These are made with 5" squares. Each has unique backing and bindings....trying to use up from my stash!

 

Then, "unisex" aside, I couldn't resist using scraps and pink came back, really strong!

 

These are all finished now, given away, or soon to be!

The hot days of summer made me crave cool blue....cornflower blue and with florals...so it is "girly" again!

But I LOVE it.....here, above, are some of the blocks in process!

AND, I made a small wedding present for my friends, Paula and Jeanie.....a pillow with their kayaks in a quilt block!

Wedding quilt almost finished



These blocks have now become a bed-size quilt! (see 2nd photo)

The blocks are scrappy and feature fabrics which remind me of summer in a mountain meadow....Andrew and Mary met in the Tetons two summers ago.

I got it back Sunday from my friend Darlene, who has "Sew Graceful Quilting", a long arm quilting service. She does beautiful work! I asked her to quilt it loosely and she did....fluidly and loosely, looping feathery shapes in a meandering pattern.



I still have to sew the bright blue binding on it and send it to the kids....their wedding is coming up! August 11th!
Bright blue for the binding, will pick up the center of each block which is a 4-patch of various blues and white.

Teton Meadow Quilt top


This quilt top is going to the machine quilter, Darlene, today.
It is for the coming wedding of Andrew and Mary in Flagstaff this August.
They met in the Tetons, in the summertime, so the theme for the wedding is mountain
wildfowers.
I tried to make their quilt using a meadow border and the colors of wildfowers and summer skies in the west.
