From Sweetly Old-fashioned to Ultra-modern
5 Attachment(s)
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.
|
Great Quilts ! Have never seen the second one that is a really neat pattern- and if you need someone to send either of them to I can send you my addy :) LOL
|
I love your quilts, especially the granny squares.
|
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?

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!
|
those are gorgeous! you are so talented!
|
Your granny squares quilt is so beautiful. The second quilt is a interesting and appealing abstract quilt.
|
great three- D effect on the JB pattern and of course who doesn't love the very traditional granny square.
Prefect. peace |
I love them both...being a Gemini I can relate to both! Is that Jinny Beyer pattern still available?
|
Awesome! I sure do like the Prism in the Forest, though! Nice!
|
Both quilts are beautiful :thumbup::thumbup:

They seemed to have changed the format a bit, the pictures all load in as little pics, but if you click on any of them, they blow up to full size - I actually like it, makes it easier to get through a thread, only opening shots you want to look at more closely. :thumbup: |
Both quilts are totally different but beautiful. Your piecing is great and all those borders on the modern one are superb!:thumbup:
|
Beautiful work as always Jenn!
|
Both are wonderful but the purple and aqua one is stupedous. You did a great job on both of them.
|
Hmmm, since I really loved them both I had to flip a coin to make the decision for me. The flip winner was granny squares and it needs to be displayed in my home as you don't have a recipient. Both are equally beautiful.
|
I think both are great. I love the numerous blocks in the granny squares, but also like the boldness of the modern one. Great color choices for both. Thanks for sharing.
|
Wow those squares look mighty small. Fabulous work on both.
|
wow really nice quilts both of them
|
Both quilts are just lovely. The granny square reminds me of the afghans my mom use to make using up her scraps of yarn.
|
They are both great looking. I can' t pick a favorite, both gorgeous
|
They are both wonderful!!!!!
|
Beautiful Quilts.
|
Great job. Love the granny squares.
|
Both are just Beautiful, great job and thank you for sharing Have a Blessed day Ellen
|
Wonderful! I especially like the old fashioned look!
|
Wow!! Great work.
|
OH so pretty, I love the granny squares, if you need someone to send it to let me know and i will send address.......it is absolutely gorgeous.
|
Both quilts are great, but I love the Log Cabin. Was it hard to do in PP ? Thansks for sharing.
|
Wow! They are definitely at totally different ends of the design spectrum, but I love them both....actually can't pick a fav. Whoever winds up getting them, they will be lucky. Thanks for sharing.
|
Oh, my, do I love the Granny Squares quilt!!! Beautiful work!! I realize too, that I so love color and fabric and sewing that it is just fun to try many different styles.
|
I like them both - you are my kind of gal - The Jenny Beyer quilt intrigues me because I want to know how its done - it looks like 4 triangle pieced together to make the whole quilt . They are both beautiful.
|
They are both beautiful. You've done a fantastic job!
|
Both quilts are wonderful! Although I am more of a traditional gal--------the Ultra modern with its asymmetrical balance and terrific color composition is a wonderful piece of art! I look forward to seeing your next "love piecing!"
