Several finishes - #1
 
I got on a quilting spree while working on the BH Mystery (told myself I could not start any new quilts while working on this one) and got all the floppies out in the shed finished up (yea!). But that meant I had 11 quilts to bind going into the weekend.

I do all my binding by machine, otherwise I'd never get them done.

Affairs of the Heart #1 - this was a "test" to see if I could do the blocks using machine satin stitch.

Affairs of the Heart #2

These two use the same panel, the first is whole, the second is "fractured" and used four panels for the center.

Several finishes #2
 
I bought several colors of ombre fabric a few years ago and made this for fun. Ended up with a large amount of scraps from it.

So I took the scraps and cut them into 1" squares and use them for the 4/9 patch blocks for this quilt. This one is called Oh My Gosh!. I got tired of making the small blocks so went large for the border.

When visiting MSQC a few years ago, I bought a couple of Singer panels and fabric. I found this free pattern on equilter.com - I get a lot of panel ideas from that site.

This is a starburst pattern I got the idea from a small picture. Though after I got it all done and bound, I noticed I have one block wrong. Good reason to post pictures of floppies so things can be fixed.

Several Finishes #3
 
BTW - every one of the quilts posted in this series was a floppy out in the LA shed since April. So it was about time I got motivated to get them done. I've got another stack of 12 floppies ready to take their place beside the LA.

Several years ago I made a bunch of cat blocks for a swap, and loved them so much I made a bunch more. Ended up with over 100 and this is the second quilt I've put them in. Still have about 40 left - they are just so cute! They are based on a Pam Bono design.

I saw a picture of a quilt like this several years ago and found the trellis fabric right away, then spent two years looking for just the right rose fabric. There are two rose fabrics, one is smaller scale with lots of buds, and the other is huge roses.

And last - this is using blocks from the 365 challenge. When I made the first center medalion, I decided it was not scrappy enough for the rest of the quilt so I set it aside. But I really liked the colors I'd used, so took it back apart and made more blocks to go with it. The Iris is an alternate corner block, but I preferred the original, but wanted to make it so I could say I've made every single block for that challenge.

This is the medallion before I took it apart - not very scrappy!

I am so amazed at your production.

Taughtby Grandma 01-03-2018 06:36 AM

Beautiful quilts. I like the star one the best and the Oh My Gosh is outstanding as well.

rryder 01-03-2018 06:49 AM

Those are all stunning!

bibi 01-03-2018 06:49 AM

I have to agree with the others commenting, your quilts are not only beautiful but also spread joy. Thanks for sharing.

salederer 01-03-2018 07:59 AM

Wow!!! Now the fun begins. Do you bind both sides by machine? I admire anyone who can do that.

Mariposa 01-03-2018 09:43 AM

Kudos on all the great finishes! Though my favorite is the Ohmigosh! I'm still cutting pieces for mine.

Jules51 01-03-2018 12:31 PM

Wow, you have accomplished a lot this year and they are all beautiful.

katesnanna 01-03-2018 03:29 PM

What an amazing body of work. I can't believe you kept them in the shed but what you call a shed may be very different to what shed means in Australia.

coopah 01-03-2018 03:40 PM

Most impressive in both quality and quantity. You’ve been having fun! They’re all beautiful!

JuneBillie 01-03-2018 03:42 PM

So many beautiful quilts.

Macybaby 01-03-2018 07:26 PM

Katesnanna - this is my "shed"

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psmfefoxy6.jpg

one side has my LA in it.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...pstrsgjoae.jpg


The other has my machine collection - so DH and I refer to it as the "machine shed".
