Made some of these -



That messy table produced some good results!

I got tired of making the  blocks and took a 5 hours break -- then got really crazy and make 200 more of them!


I got a Bonnie Hunter book - please visit her website for more scrap quilt pics and books and everything -- http://quiltville.blogspot.com/ --

I love recycled fabrics and scrap quilts and her quilts are crazy with pieces just the way I like!

The quilt Im working on is a variation of her pattern she called sante fe star.

I strip pieced the blocks that I could with long strings - and paper foundation pieced only a few pieces -

My diamonds are also bigger than hers are and Im not going to use the flying geese boarder that she used.

The star in the pic above is only a 6 point star - my final quilt will have 8 points and be 5 blocks long instead of the 3 pictured above.

It is Labor Day weekend! I love this holiday .... I'm having a sale on my Etsy to celebrate the cooler weather coming. George and I are making quilts and going to New Orleans parades this weekend. So much fun. I was out shopping and saw this hilarious pic! Mirror images are not who we are! I am the person I see reflected in the faces of people who love me. Although ... I did take this selfie today, too. Quilt stuff? I'm making a star quilt for my bed. It will be partially scraps and partially other fabrics that were gifted to me or bought. I think I'm going to make an effort to make it clash as much as possible! Hope you all will find some fun this weekend. It's for us. The workers.

I love free motion quilting.  I draw shapes. Whatever shapes happen to develop while Im quilting. Ive been quilting for about 11 years. Truthfully, I find that I make the same shapes over and over. Lots of curvy circles, mixed in with sharp edges. I also like to echo the shapes into each other.
