Wowzers!!!! When do you sleep? When do you have time to shop and replace all of the fabric you have used? Tee-Hee!

Do you have time to sleep and eat????? Tons of quilts for a month or two ~ great job!

You have been so productive - I am very impressed because each quilt is so nice! The first one pictured matches your floor so well that at first I thought it was a photo of sashing - LOL.

Very beautiful work. You have really been a busy bee!

jeanharville 04-17-2013 07:12 PM

Whatever you're drinking, I need some of it. Tell us your secret to getting so much accomplished. Not only quantity, but also they are all so pretty. I would love to know the pattern name of the one that looks like a square in a square. I like the size of the blocks and the colors blend so well. Thanks for sharing all your hard work with us.

ccthomas 04-17-2013 07:53 PM

Nice quilts. Looks like a successful March.

bjcombs2022 04-17-2013 08:03 PM

Oh my gosh! You have really, I mean REALLY been busy! They are all beautiful and you've done a great job!

Gladys 04-17-2013 08:12 PM

Oh my you've been working a lot. I love them all especially the star. What is the name of the star pattern?

MimiBug123 04-17-2013 08:41 PM

WOW! Did you take time to eat in March? You have done some truly beautiful work.

KathyPhillips 04-17-2013 09:16 PM

corklass44 04-18-2013 07:01 AM

Wow! When did you eat or sleep? I like the third one best....but they are all nice.

SHELTIE'SMAMA 04-18-2013 07:14 AM

Very nice work and lots of it. I am totally intriqued by the brown one and the use of circles/squares. Very ingenious!

SusanSusan33 04-18-2013 07:31 AM

Wow!! You have been BUSY!! My favorite is the third quilt shown, but they are ALL lovely!

Raggiemom 04-18-2013 12:23 PM

OK, several people have asked questions so I will do my best to answer them. I don't quilt every day but when I do quilt, it's anywhere from 1 hour to 8 hours for the day. Almost all of the quilts I do are fairly simple ones and usually I SITD to finish them and then machine bind. And a couple I just had to assemble, the blocks were already sewn. Now for the patterns--

the first quilt was one I just assemble the quilt. Someone had the blocks already done (it's a charity quilt for church). I believe they sewed strip sets then cut them. It's a queen sized quilt and I didn't finish it, just pieced the top.

The second quilt was a Christmas layer cake, I just sewed the squares together, then quilted diagonally through the corners. I like minimal quilting when I'm doing it! :)

The third quilt had the blocks assembled and I just sewed the top together. They're just squares, and then squares within a square.

The fourth quilt, I took a couple charm packs, sewed together 4 patches, then threw in a few squares to break up the 4 patches. To finish, just diagonal quilting through the corners.

The fifth quilt was done using fat quarters. I cut them into 5x8.5 inch (I think!) pieces and sewed 6 together. Then just assembled and found a cute border.

The sixth is a paper pieced Mariner's Compass. My first attempt at paper piecing and not done very well! But I learned from my mistakes, and that's what I consider important.

The seventh is a layer cake. It's a variation on the double slice layer cake pattern. I messed up and cut the layer cakes in half for the first cut. So then I just mixed up the pieces and sewed various halves together. Then I varied the next cut--some I cut at 2.5 inches, some at 5, some at 3.5. Just mixed it all up and made squares and reassembled. Lots of fun and so easy.

The last one I took some square blocks and alternated with blocks I made from another pattern, can't remember which one. If someone really wants to know the pattern, pm me and I'll look it up.

Thanks for looking and for all the compliments! :)
