What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I have been calling this one light Winged Square because I made a second quilt with all of the dark blocks.  This one is 46.5" x 70", a perfect cover up for an afternoon nap.

It has Hobbs 80/20 batting, light beige Superior So Fine thread on top, cream color Superior Bottom Line in the bobbin.

Two finishes again for May.  That makes 10 so far this year.  On the left is Kaffe fabric Rail Fence baby quilt, 38" x 52".  On the right Pink Twisted Ribbons, fabrics from many years of collected stash, 35" x 48".

Two new quilt tops, numbers 16 and 17 for the year so I'm still having too much fun making new quilt tops and dragging my feet quilting and finishing them.  On the left Pastel Diamonds is 49" x 72.5".  On the right Prints and Solids: Stars, 63" x 72".

For my own record, this top was finished ...

Red Hot on the left is 62.5" x 81".  My Fantasy Garden is 53.5" x 64".  It is much brighter and prettier than this photo.

Another month of more new quilt tops than finishes...which means I'm having fun.

Bars: Australian fabric is 51.5" x 75".  The muted color blend top is 20" x 33".  Pink ribbons is 36" x 48".  Australian Zig Zag is 36" x 45".  Colorwash made with rectangles is 32 ...

There were 2 total finishes in January, one at the beginning of the month and the other at the end. The neutral color batik quilt on the left is 54" x 74.5".  On the right is Scrappy Friendship Star 47" x 59".

I made 5 quilt tops and I have them in 2 collages.  The Log Cabin quilt on the left was made from blocks assembled in previous months and squares made of 2 prints were added to make the star blocks.  It is 63" x 84".

The batik colorwash is 32" x 31.5".

The Square Within, my version of ...

In the previous 2 months I had 6 finishes and no quilt tops so ...

The African colorwash wallhanging is 34" x 42", the yellow zig zag sweet little baby quilt is 29" x 35" and the quarter square yellow quilt is 55" x 71".  Yellow is my favorite color so these 2 make me very happy.  I love the African colorwash too and I'll probably keep it until I make the next even better one some day.  This is #3 in the series.

This is the third quilt top made in June.  It is 56" x 75".  The details about it are on this post.

I almost finished the quilting on ...

It is 38.5" x 54".  It was started in 1991 and finally finished 31 years later.

The rest of the month was spent exploring the gardens, seeing what survived the winter and planting some new varieties.

The ferns are doing well on the north ...

I ended up making 19 table mats that are 8.5" x 11" from the Marcia Derse scraps left from the Gridlock quilt top project last month. They are flatter than a mug rug with a layer of stiff interfacing and one layer of fusible batting and finished ...

The quilt top that I worked on all month is 68" x 92".  The inspiration quilt is in the Kaffe book "Glorious Patchwork" which was published in 1997.  I made mine with all Marcia Derse fabrics and it is one row longer than the one in the book.

I'm about 3/4 done with another colorwash but couldn't quite make the deadline.

I probably could have gotten the Coneflower 16 patch sewn together but decided to get some outside garden work done instead.  I hope we have a lot of rainy days in October for the ...
