3 small quilts made a few months ago
 
3 Attachment(s)
I know these are a little late but they were done in time to be hung for each of their special days. I have had some problems with my back and just don't get on the computer much now. The first one is for Valentine's Day and I really like it. Made partially with the serger and finished with my regular sewing machine. The next one, St. Patty's wall hanging is all made on the serger except for the binding.

In one of my quilt groups we all made a Ricky Timms Convergence quilt and this is the one I chose. It represents a sunny day in the fall with the leaves falling from top right to lower left. I named this one Autumn Breeze.

I hope you enjoy looking.

Very nice projects,they look so beautiful.

My favorite is the last one. I like the way you made the shadows under the leaves.

Your wall hangings are beautiful! I love the shadows you put on the leaves in your Autumn one.

Raggiemom 04-16-2012 03:40 PM

Those are really cool. Love the first two especially.

They're all beautiful but the leaves look 3 D, great job!

Love your quilts............. I especially like the way the leaves look like they are floating.

Pat yourself on your ailing back. Did a wonderful job on all 3 of these. Love them all.

All are just beautiful, like the 3D leaves in the last quilt. Thanks for sharing.

These are beautiful. The colors I love. We'll pray
that your back gets better and you can get back
to quilting.

Beautiful wall hangings. I love the 3-D effect on the first two. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

Very pretty, love small/wall/mini quilts!

Maresan 04-17-2012 08:41 AM

I LOVE leaves so that convergence quilt is out of this world. I will have to try it.

Maresan 04-17-2012 08:44 AM

Question, why does it look like your leaves are floating or 3 dimensional?

Rock Lady 04-17-2012 09:20 AM

Those are all beautiful quilts. You did a wonderful job.

They are called shadows and made by cutting a black fabric with the leaf fabric then staggered them so they look like a shadow. I placed them on their sides and across the quilt so it would like a breeze just blew them off a tree. I used monofiliment thread and appliqued them down Hope this helps.

I love the shadowing on your leaves! All are great. I am curious--on the 3-d pinwheels, are those finished blocks you have then worked into the quilt???? Wasn't quite sure how you got them to be 2 colors. Really like the effect.

Hi Rachel, I used 2 rectangles with wrong sides together and serged down one of the long edges. With the serged edge at the top, fold the right top corner down to the bottom edge and place onto one triangle with right angles matching. Baste in place. Make four of these units and stitch together to form a block. Be sure all the pieces are laying correct to form the pinwheel. Stitch block together. Hope this helps.

Love them all especially the last one :)

Krystyna 04-19-2012 03:51 AM

I like these so much! The depth you've added is wonderful.

Those are really cool, I like 'em all.

BizzieLizzie 04-23-2012 04:56 PM

Love all of them! Especially the last one with the falling leaves - the shadows make all the difference. I love the 3D effect of the windmills in the other 2 quilts, you could almost imagine them moving in the wind! :D

Jammin' Jane 04-27-2012 09:08 PM

Pretty, pretty, pretty!!
Nice job! :)

Gladys 04-28-2012 08:33 AM

I love the last one. It looks 3 dimensional. I'll have try that.

Latrinka 04-28-2012 06:58 PM

Love em all! Sew pretty!

Helen S 04-28-2012 07:22 PM
