Quilts

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.
