A few more quilts - Spring Fling, Twisted 4 patch, and a variation on Yellow Brick Rd
Spring Fling is from Better Homes and Gardens Patchwork and Quilting earlier this year. My motto is if you buy a magazine or ,subscribe; in my case you need to make a quilt from one of the offerings in the magazine. This quilt is hanging over the fireplace for the month of April - maybe May too.
A quilter on the QB named Ranger mentioned the Twisted Four Patch and I finally got around to making it. I had purchased the fabric online for $1.00 a yard and it is super nice RJR Fabric. Now I have a fireplace quilt for the month of June or until a baby girl is born
Funny, it was on the blog of a lady in New Westminster, BC Canada - the town right next to where I lived in Canada.
The variation on the Yellow Brick Road quilt in black, "Grinch" green, red and white is a bit mixed up - as I began confused at one point, and cut some 1/2 yards wrong as I was following the directions for fat quarters. No worries it still worked out fine in the end.

Love your quilts!
But what I really appreciate is how you give a full view of the quilts and then a close-up. So often we see only a partial photo here, and that usually leaves me a bit frustrated or confused as to what I'm really viewing Thank you!

Carslo, you always do a wonderful job on your quilts! I am feeling very impatient to get sewing again but I still have at least 6 weeks, probably longer, and I had such wonderful plans for after the new year! Thank you for the prayers and encouragement it's the only thing that has kept me trying to stay positive! Hope to see you soon, I guess at your home since the kitty's are a definite problem! Wonderful quilts, I love em all!
