Six 2016 Finishes

As I'm uploading, I'm checking my projects list and see that I'm missing photos of four quilts that I gave away.  I'm hoping that I come across something on a flash drive so I can document my work.

I still had the following items in my possession, so here is another show-n-tell!  First up is Disappearing Nine Patch that was pieced by Drew Benage.  Drew was downsizing so I quilted this one to keep for my lectures, donating the one that I was using.  Drew's quilt was much prettier and I love the yellow silk accent fabric.

Stacks was a free pattern I found and pieced years ago.  It was in my to-be-quilted pile.  I used leftover bindings for this project, even using them in the binding; scrappy quilt with scrappy binding.

I made two Modified Bento Box quilt tops years ago and just got them quilted this year.  The first one is made from scraps and set with thin sashing and corner stones.

The second Modified Bento Box quilt is made with batik scraps.

This one is a very old WIP of a Chevron quilt.

I made this Rag Wreath and love the outcome.  You can use some of your ugly fabrics for this one!  I added the bow as I felt the ties made the wreath more dramatic.

I hope you enjoyed the projects.  Next up are my current WIPs.

2016 Finishes - 8 of them - More to Come

Treasure Hunt was made for line dancing friends residing in Indianapolis for their wedding in May.  I made the center panel with some leftover flying geese from a previous quilt to make the stars.  Afterwards, I added a mix of borders to get the quilt to an appropriate size.  I had fun reminiscing over past projects as I used my scraps to make this quilt.

 BP Express:  Bowling Hall of Famer is a quilt I made for my husband who is listed in the national bowling hall of fame for his many accomplishments.  I quilted this quilt with a panto called Bowling Fun.  It was a challenge.  See the close up photo.  I also have a video review of this panto.

Gypsy Conversion (The Gypsy's Wife) is now completed!  I love the entire process and how colorful the quilt is.  Again, I adapted this quilt with my orphan blocks instead of piecing the blocks as indicated in the original pattern.  I have included some close up photos of  some of the quilting.

This Streak of Lightening quilt is a UFO top that I never got around to quilting.  Now that I have my own longarm quilting machine, I will be finishing a lot of the tops on my projects list.  This one was made the old fashion, time consuming way by adding HSTs to opposite sides of a square.

Asian influence was a great design to use some Asian charm packs in my collection.

Batiks Modified Bento Boxes used some of my scrappy batik fabrics.  I love the colors in this quilt.

One of the most underutilized quilting tools in the market is the X-Block Ruler.  This variation is Ribbon Star.  Instead of making 9-patches, I used 3 rectangles.

 Another X-Block quilt I call Animal Kingdom.  I love finding ways to use the pieces in the border that are trimmed when making the center blocks.

I have a few more finishes that need photos.  I fear I gave away some charity quilts that I forgot to photograph.  I'll have to look at all my media storage devices to be sure.
