I love it because I have such fond memories of the materials used. I am sure you feel the same. So here is my quilt top...thank you for allowing me to share it with you!
This little quilt will really be a heartfelt memories one. Glad you shared with us.

Evidently all you need is 2 scraps. Put them in your sewing space & before long, you'll have a gazillion. They seem to multiply in the dark... kinda like dust bunnies!! LOL! That's the only explanation I can think of to explain why I have a ton of scraps... LOL! Just cut some of your stash up & call'em scraps! Can't wait to see your quilts! Please post!

The last one is a quick quilt I put together and gave to my daughter while she was waiting for her last baby to be born!
Like my Mother would say, looks like you've been living right! Those are all beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Izy for the information on the shams you posted. I'll have to do one and see if it comes out as beautiful as yours. That is really something to do on your Janome, I have a Janome too and like it more every day. Mine is the DC1050. Just had the machine not even 5 months yet. It's a light weight and would have liked it a bit heftier, but my other machine died the same day so needed one that day, Oh well, thanks again for the shams idea. Will have to make a couple this year.

I made up the pillow sham tops, layered them up with double layer of poly wadding to give a bit more loft and stiffness. I made envelope backs, just basically overlapping two pieces right sides out, stitched all around, then added binding to finish. I quilted one HST/4 patch width from the outside edge to create an 'Oxford' style of pillow sham. I have a Janome 9000, not much throat space but I have managed to quilt over 90 x 90 quilts through there phew!
