I took a break from my commision quilt to work on a few little things....
SO I finished a norman rockwell wall hanging..I still need to put on binding but I quilted it today.
I also quilted a little quilt using "my little pony" and "strawberry shortcake" material....I usually don't use this kind of material but i had these from when my youngest was a toddler and we made her baby blankets..these are the scraps of what is left.

I also used leftover scraps from a snowman flannel quilt I made a few months ago and made this raggedy flannel quilt. When I quilt it and then wash it all the edges of those squares will get frayed and look worn and comfy!..thinking I shoud use wool batting.

here is the little pink quilt

Charismah, I really like the flannel quilt & the pattern. Those are appealing to the eye. Have you seen the Gee's Bend quilts by the Southern Alabama African American quilters that are abstracts? I think it was back in 1950s that a priest saw the quilts on the clotheslines around the town where he was walking through & somehow got them noticed by a Northern Museum, if I have my story straight. Your flannel quilt looks similar.

I love your aesthetic- So fresh and contemporary. All the quilts are just terrific. Applause, applause!!

( I am also a Gees Bend fan - I've managed to go to 2 different showings of their work, since I heard about the group.)

The Strawberry Shortcake and My Little Pony quilt took me down memory lane. I saw fabrics I used for my daughter's playclothes!

You do a wonderful job on your quilts. Thanks for sharing!

Adorable!

Great job! You sure were busy!

You do great work!! Love them all. The strawberry shortcake one will make some little girl very happy :D

Great job on them all! I just love the Norman Rockwell.....the chalkboard board was just inspired!

Very cute.

Beautiful quilts

I absolutely loved strawberry shortcake and my little pony when I was little :) You are so creative, I'm a tad green with envy! It'll pass lol but seriously, great work!

Beautiful work! Did the alphabet material come with the Norman Rockwell panel or did you buy it separately?

I'd love to see the ragged one after it's washed! You are a terrific quilter--love that design.

Great job! You are very talented!

These are great --- and I'm so jealous that this was you "taking a break" -- I need to get someone to do all of my school paperwork so I can take breaks like yours more often!!!

Very nice!!

The norman Rockwell is a panel...so I didn't add anything to it....you can't really see in the picture but in all of those separate borders I quilted something different...in the picture itself I only outlined the boy,girl, dog , and hearts on the tree.
I love the alphabet part.

Again, the prolific quilting queen strikes! Great work my dear!

How nice all of them are. I couldn't pick just one that I like the best. They are all so nice. I enjoyed seeing the close up of your quilting.

Beautiful ! I love the pink one.

you do such wonderful work

Very nice.

Sometimes you just have to take a break. Thanks for the closeup of the quilting on the pink quilt. I'm about to start a baby quilt and might try this.

Very nice!!

Love them all but I especially love the ABCs in the Norman Rockwell one. Very cute! BTW I went to a one room school my first two years of school. so it holds a special place in my heart I guess!

all lovely!

All I can say is Wow, how do you do all this in a day? Hurry and wash the raggedy flannel and post a picture. Great job, all very pretty.

All very pretty. You do a wonderful job on all of yours.

Nice Job! You might get a kick out of seeing the Gee's Bend kit in Keepsake Quilting's cataolg and on-line site. I really had to look at it a long time to feel any appreciation for it but I guess it growns on you?

Hi, So I am not the only one with strawberry short cake fab... is this some of the new reprint or the origional fab? I have the 1970's or whenever it was....
Fun to see it... mine is in a box somewhere in my sewing room.

Just love your quilts and the pink one is so girly.

Those are beautiful. I love the idea of the edges getting frayed. It will make that quilt even more cuddly and inviting.

Very nice. :thumbup:

I love to see your quilts! You do such an amazing job.

All Are Absolutely Gorgeous

very nice.

I love them all! The Norman Rockwell is beautiful with the alphabet detail and I LOVE your FMQ on the pink one - so sweet and perfectly in keeping with the girly fabrics! I too want to see the raggedy edges when you wash the first one!

how long a break did you take.......these are great....love all of them.

the first ones remind me of Gee Bends quilts...

You sure did get a lot accomplished.
