From Sweetly Old-fashioned to Ultra-modern

Here are two quilt tops I've been working on recently. Different styles, but that just confirms I am addicted to fabric and quilt-making.

The first is called Granny Squares, which appeared in American Patchwork and Quilting magazine; the second is called Prism in the Forest, adapted from Stony Creek by Jinny Beyer.

I don't have recipients in mind for either quilt - yet. I just love piecing and finding ways to put fabrics together. Maybe will give the second to my son's girlfriend, as she likes purple.

Never encountered my pics being added that way, will try to add two of the pictures again.

I love both of them but I think I like the granny squares one better. It's given me an idea to use up all the squares I cut from my scraps!

They are all so pretty. You did such good work on them all.

Wow....wonderful quilts!!!! Love the first...so many tiny squares! The purple is wonderfully different. Great work on both :)

Love them both - but I quess I lean towards the traditional look. What size squares in the Granny Squares?

Thanks! The squares finish at 1". They were cut from pieces 1.5". A great way to use up Small scraps!

Both are fantastic! I also find myself drawn towards different styles. It feels good to stretch and do something different. Besides I find my gift recipients have really varied tastes. Beautiful work!
