I know Ive posted Pics of these quilts before - but, here is what they look like up on show walls!

This is how it started ..

I saw a quilt I liked that was made like this -- So - I cut up a pile of pieces and made my own -- I did not have a pattern - but, I think everything is OK.                               I really like the way it turned out -- I dont know that I have ever used white b-4 as a background. Well, I have made a few Red and white quilts -- I guess i have .. but, I like this one. We will see how I finish it. Most of these fabrics are commercial quilting fabrics that were given to me as scraps from my Aunt who is a quilter. I used a cool process that I saw on a jenny doan youtube video - I used 10 inch squares - sewn together at 1/4 inch all around the outside -- (right sides together) then cut them all into an *X* -- magic = 4 half square finished triangles. The cutting took longer than anything else...

Test Piece!

Shirts for cutting --  My little house -- and my dog, George. When I pull fabrics for a quilt - I still always pull WAY too many! All thise stacks of shirts were test pieces for one quilt.
