Beautiful quilts and backs too. Love all the colors used.

The quilts are beautiful! I hate to admit I don’t know what leaders and enders means but it sounds very useful for using up scraps.

Wow - beautiful!!!! Wish i was that productive! Sometimes even just one donation quilt (or any quiit for that matter) takes me forever.

I love those! They look so cozy and inviting to wrap up in. Someone who gets one is going to be very happy! Thank you.

Beverly-- typically leaders they are equal sized squares that you sew together before running your "good" fabric under the needle, which sometimes "eats" the corners." Enders are ones you can use after , although I've never had a problem once I've gotten started chain piecing. Eventually all the 2 patches add up to 4P, 9P, etc. So you are essentially making a second quilt as you make your current one.

Thanks for showing your lovely patchwork quilts! I like the white or light squares beside the colorful squares. Looks like the other side of the quilt is more scrappy with all colors playing together. Thanks for sharing your projects! I have never done a scrappy quilt but now I feel inspired to start one. I like to buy 5"charm squares, so this would be a great project to give them a home. :))

Thank you, zozee! A new tip for my tool box!
