Angela Walters has a new tutorial on YouTube, Scrambled Plus Sign Quilt
She's fun and her machine quilting ideas are great, easy to understand.
I've had time this week to finish the first block in Piecing the Past Quilts' b.o.w. quilt 'Rest and Refreshing.' It's a beautiful design. Sign up if you want a bit of a traditional challenge, the link is above.
The backing to my 'coins' small quilt, 20' x 16', is done today. I made up more 'saw teeth' for it and check out that butterfly in the purple strip on the left, 'Mariposa Meadow' fabric, by Elizabeth Isles. Lovely.

Have a relaxing weekend. Share a smile!
I'll be by to visit.
Beautiful colors and lively patterns. I love them!
ReplyDeleteThere is always a butterfly somewhere in your work.
ReplyDeleteI love the vibrant colours you are using! Beautiful quilts!
Love the butterfly. The Woven Star is not in your usual colours, but the contrast between the black patches and the other colours works really well. Looking forward to seeing more of this one.
ReplyDeleteI am crazy for pieced backs. This is wonderful for your coins quilt. It may need equal time being the front of the quilt.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the colours you are using in your coins backing - very eye catching, thanks for linking up to Sew, Stitch, Snap, Share this week.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fabulous and productive weekend.
Your coins quilt is so fun, Janie! I love those triangles around the edge!
ReplyDeleteI love it when the back is just as interesting as the front. I took folk art classes once from a teacher who insisted that it wasn't enough to simply put our initials and the date on the back - she wanted to see 'something' when she turned an item over. That's stuck with me ever since.
ReplyDeleteThe back works so well. Love the way you mixed it up but had the same fabrics.
