Tale of two quilts --

Both of these quilts are the same pattern - just different color placements.

New work - Irish Chain + Pixels.

3 inch unfinished squares are sexy. I cant get away from them! Here is another quilt made from them - entirely. No strip piecing! This is the top - This is after quilting - Close up of quilting -  I used my "extreme recycled batting" cheat for this quilt. I have so much old 70's double knit in my stash - I keep piecing together enough to fill a quilt and -- MAN can I tell you how perfect the weight is? And the quilts have a drape that my other quilts with traditional batting dont have. So, Stuff old crap fabric inside your quilts - its gets rid of trash - and trash has a great drape! I think the layer of poly will be warm -- w/o being gross warm. Because its just one layer of fabric. Not the thickness of a poly batt.

Here we go -- another new one ...

Ive been surprised to re-cut squares for this quilt three times! More and more blocks! Im loving the way it looks. I love that this quilt is made from the same 3 inch blocks that the last quilt was made from. Amazing how different the quilts can look with the vary same foundation.
