round up

A few finishes this week and a good start on the new cross quilt...
My Crazy patch quilt is done. Jenny Egg, the minute I laid it down decided it was hers...

***


I've used up almost all my scraps for these crumb blocks. They are 7" square, and I have no idea what I will do with them. I'd like to get a few more together out of the bits I have left. We'll see. But I am so loving the batiks... Why did this take me so long to play with them??


I've been working on my machine quilting! What fun! I can manage the big stuff but haven't taken my time with small things, So I am making the effort.


I hope you all have a had a lovely CREATIVE week!

Have a great weekend!

  6. Wow - your quilting looks amazing! Great photos and a fantastic new quilt. Smart dog. When I first started quilting it was all about the batiks for me. I've got lots of bits and pieces left over if you'd like to have them - I'd love to send (or hand deliver) them to you.

  8. Jenny Egg is soooo cute on this gorgeous quilt! All your pictures are great - the colors just are intense.

    I love batiks and always gravitate towards them over prints! I used to make batik pictures over 20 years ago.

    Love that green star with red and yellow stitches!

  12. I love that your sashing and posts enhance the blocks sooooo much. That Crazy Patch quilt is one of my fav's!

    I've never gotten into batik's. I think it's because I've had a bad experience with dye transfer, but that was before "color catchers" that you throw in the wash. I think for now I'll leave all the batik love up to you and Wanda....and I'll just stand over here and admire the results...lol.
