My Lone Star Quilt

   After I quilted Donna's Lone Star quilt she sent me the book and templates from Nancy Zieman's internet store. The center was from the book and the design around the edges I made up as I went along guided by some pictures of medallion quilts that I found on the internet. I know what to do better next time. The fabric came from my inventory. It was fun to piece this quilt and I am looking forward to the next one. Caruso broke sewing the border. He's fixed now! The repairman said he's good for another 100 years! Quilt to be donated to guild for their charity work. Donated to quilt guild July 2017.

Construction Site

 This is a quilt from the To Do list and one I've wanted to make for a long time since I bought the book little bits QUILTING BEE. It turned out bright and cute. I had to trim the half-square triangle blocks down to 9" because they skewed a bit in the sewing. The quilt is still big enough. I used a layer cake (10" pre-cut squares) purchased from MSQC to make the top. Quilt to be donated to guild for their charity work. Donated to quilt guild July 2017.
