Here are some quilts I made.

The 4th of July one was started in 2003 and finally finished this year. We need to go on a picnic now.

A smaller version of the Ohio Star was made as for my first Granddaughter - Anya Vivian born 11-1-2008. It was so bright and cheerful. This one is much bigger and might fit a double or work as a throw. As I didn't know if she was a girl or boy, I also made another in the Garden path in blue and yellow (not pictured)if Anya ever has a brother.

I started a quilt project to use up the odd and ends of large scale or odd colored floral prints. I ended up with 8 quilts going at the same time. Four with the floral prints in the sun burst pattern, which is a modification of the Nos-gay or Bridal Bouquet, without the handle. I just thought the handle took away from the pattern so I left that part out and added another section to complete the sun burst.

The other four are from the scraps that you get when you cut up the sun bursts. I just couldn't throw those away. They are a half sewn when you trim off the sun bursts, but still pretty little pieces to work with. Three tops are completed and pictured below.

I need to stick to one quilt at a time. Eight is too many - ask Octomom.

Quilts in the Capitol - Denver Colorado 6-23-09

A most interesting array of quilts are hanging in the Colorado State Capitol Building in Denver, Colorado June 2 - August 20, 2009.

Quilts of many colors and patterns to dazzle the eye hung in slender throughout the beautiful setting of the capital.

I took some photos, however your can also view some most at www.coloradoquiltcouncil.com.

Many patterns I have made. The Ohio star and May Basket pattern are particular favorites. My daughter, Jamie, made the Ohio Star in rich purples and turquoise which we used a window covering in my sewing room.

I saw one quilt with reds and greens of a similar pattern I call Star Burst,which is a modification of Nos-Gay for Brides Bouquet. I have four of those started to use up odd and ends of large floral prints. I use the scraps for a triangle block as the block is almost sewn together when you trim it for the Star Burst. Quite an under taking. I have two tops completed with six more to go. Nice to see one finished up.
