More fun show and tell...

We had quite a nice show of quilts last Friday at our Friday morning Sit & Stitch!!  This is one of Cheryl's finishes done in teal and reds/pinks.

This is another finish by Cheryl (sorry about the fuzzy picture!).  It is so cute and bright.  She started with charm squares and added sashing for quite a nice little quilt!

This is one of Margit's two finishes.  It is called "My Ontario Garden" and is the result of an "Around the Block" project that we participated in a few years back.  The 11 people participating each picked a theme, then we all did blocks/pieces for each other as we passed our projects around in pizza boxes.  The tricky part came when we all got out blocks back and tried to lay out the top.  Margit and Teresa have finished and Kathy is very close with hers.  Who will be next??  Hmmmm...

Margit's other finish also involves blocks from the group.  A few years back we held a tiny 9-patch block swap for several months.  Margit used some of hers for this glorious scrappy house quilt.  It is totally delightful!

Here is what I did with my 9-patches...since there were slight variations in the 3-inch finished size, I decided to strip them, then cut at a wonky angle in a checkerboard pattern.

Ellen "wow-ed" us with her progress on this hexagon beauty.  From a distance it looks like a large format traditional grandmother's flower garden quilt, but on close inspection you can see the secret of its construction.

I grabbed a quick picture of what Kathy is quilting.  She gets the award for using every last bit of scraps in her delightful crumb quilts.  I hope to show this one finished very soon.

And finally, I have finished the Civil War Bride quilt top and brought it in to share.  I managed to get it layered and basted over the weekend, so now it is on with the hand quilting.

In stitches,

Teresa  :o)
