These two are finished and now on store display at Quilters Junction, as an after thought I also made a 10 minute table runner. It's a nice little vignette.
This is a purchase for $4.99 at the Lacey Goodwill. First stop there and found this lovely top. Colors are one of my favorite combinations. The triangles are hand stitched! but the rest is machine sewn. It has a few tears on the ends so I may take off one end row and fix the other end, haven't decided yet. So until it is finished it is a nice cheery top.
This poor little thing, started it with leftovers from my "Among the Stars" quilt. As you can see one row decided it was going to go the other way. Since this is a small quilt, blocks are five inches each and was going to be 9x10 rows. Well, I felt no need to argue with the rebellious row, so I just left it out and now the top is finished squarely, 9x9 and with a border. More to come on this one later.
Dinosaur will be my grandson's future quilt. I now have gathered all fabrics to finish! Last piece was purchased from the Elma Variety store. Good friend and I went to check it out as she had never been. They carry a lot of Blank brand fabrics, Northcott, Timeless Treasures, and tons of animal and guy prints. We also had lunch at an adorable and yummy little local place. Horrible of me but I think it was called Michael's. It was just down the block and around the corner. Ladies from the shop recommended it. Food was most excellent and will go back again.
These are some close ups of the previous quilt I posted. I really think this is one of my all time favorites. The little squares are from Nancy Rink's Mill Girls, but the rest is all mine. This block shown is my favorite, I just love that fabric in the center.
Off to new and wonderful things, I will be joining my sister in Astoria OR, this weekend and we are going to visit just a few shops that are participating in their Oregon Coast Shop Hop, Quilt Run 101. So when I get back I hope to have great things to tell you.
Support your local quilt shop.

Loved seeing all your projects. I really love the quilt that you made with the Mill girls blocks. The colors are so great.
ReplyDeleteI love your rainy octopus! He's adorable with his big googly eyes. I also think it's cool how you embraced your quilt's rebellious streak! :)
