This is my first VQW. Don't know why I waited so long. LOL!! I love all the pictures of quilts and other projects!! They are all so beautiful!! I decided to make Bonnie Hunter's Scrappy Trip Around the World. I am using my 1930's reproduction fabrics. I have about 280 strips cut so far and will do about 40 more. My grandkids stay with me and Papaw when I am off, so it has been slow going this weekend.

I finished the binding on my mom's quilt and gave it to her yesterday. She loved it. I am so glad that that one is done but sad that I don't have anything to hand quilt. Will try to get pictures up later.

I will also use it in the lining. I quilted the plaid fabric with Hobbs 80/20 first.
Just finished yard work and hubby is taking me for breakfast. All showered and ready to I go. Then back to sewing room
Happy quilting all

Here's what I hoped to get done this weekend... the "College Quilt"... a dissapearing hourglass done in college colors for a friend's son. It was pretty boring working with these solid Kona Cottons, but now that the top is together I like it. Think the kid will love it. It's a twin 'XL for his dorm bed, but I'm thinking it may need some borders around it. Maybe 2" or 4" in gray with a black binding.

I have been asked to make a graduation quilt for a young high school valedictorian, in the colors of the college he is going to. It's for his dorm room. I'm not wild about the school colors, but in the disappearing hour glass pattern they look great! Here are some of my first ones. The little one was a 'tester'... will work it into the back. There will also be black in this quilt.
Gorgeous blocks! I like the colors, but what I really like is how perfect they are. You do beautiful work!

Thank you. The trick is that the DHG blocks look like you expertly piece tiny triangles and points, when you don't! It's really easy to do. Check out Jenny Doan's Dissappearing Hour Glass tute on MSQC.
