Blue and Yellow Bargello

I will be sending this bargello quilt to a new home in Minnesota today. I hope it will keep someone there very warn next winter and make the room look cheerful.
 I made this quilt when I did a tutorial on how to make a bargello quilt. I eventually made that tutorial into an instructaional pattern in  PDF file format to sell online through Etsy.  My niece bought the fabrics for this quilt because I had never made a quilt that had yellow fabric before. I'm glad she did this for me since I didn't think I liked quilts with yellow in them. That is not the case now. I love to use yellow now.

Chinese Coins Lap Quilt

Chinese Coins quilt has a new home. Sent this out to its new own a couple weeks ago.

This quilt was made using left over pieces strips from making bargellos and trip around the world quilt. It was fun to make searching for strips that could  blend together like I has planned and bought all the fabrics for just this quilt.

Quilt for my granddaughter

My granddaughter needed a quilt for her new residence, and this is what she got. I had pieced these panels a few years ago and had them in my unfinished projects stash. I also had all the other fabrics on hand, so it didn't take long to make this.
I quilted this with my Jamone 1600p on a New Joy Gold frame using a pantograph in the blue sections and filled in with free motion quilting.

The back was pieced with prints of blue and pink.

Working on a 4-Patch Posey quilt

I've had this blue variegated fabric for some time and wanted to do something with it, but could not figure out what color to use. I had the pink fabric so decided to see how it would look with it. I was so please with that combination, it worked so well. Brightens up the whole quilt, I think.
The other day I measure the fabric and found I had enough to made the 4-patch posey. For these block I needed tostackh the fabric in four layers and get it line up so all the prints would match down throughh the stack. When I cut the squares from the stacked fabric I get four pieces exactly alike. Once these are sewn together, the prints with make a kaleidescope look.Eachc block will have adesignn in them.

Boxed squares and rectangles quilt finished

I'm not sure of the name of this quilt. I got the idea from a posting on the Quilting Board. I quilted this on my New Joy quilting frame with a Janome 1600p. The quilting is done with a pantograph plus free motion quilting between the panto rows.

French Braid Quilt Top

Been a busy last couple of months. Have made a lot of new things. This is the first French Braid I've ever made. It is made of all batiks excent for the blue accent fabrics which I pulled from my stash.
It still needs to be quilted, which I hope to do soon.
