Wow..two months have passed

The long hot summer is over, and I’m back to the sewing machine. Finished four quilts for Quilts for Kids donation.  Now I can get going on Alycia’s QOV mystery quilt, and a couple other quiltalongs I want to do.

Another finish!

This is now quilted and finished, and ready for donation. Next to work on is the pineapple blocks. I know I put the directions somewhere...probably will need to search a bit on line! Searched my blog and here it is https://berylthepearl.blogspot.com/2014/10/saturday-pineapple.html

Started in 2013

Just about this time six years ago I started a quilt along, Nabby’s Dowry.  I pulled it out and decided to finish old projects before starting something new...how many times have I said that!  Well here is a quilt top about 40” square perfect for the smaller size quilts I’m making now. Even found some fabric in stash for the backing

And here’s one from about the same time, from a quilt along called Economy Blocks. Again I had enough blocks for a smaller quilt, so this one is ready to quilt

There are a couple more ready to finish, my pineapple blocks, plus an alphabet theme quilt. Will need about 3 extra pineapples, and have all the parts of the alphabet. Whatever the reason I put them aside, now’s the perfect time to finish them!

More finishes

These two quilts were made from Quilts for Kids kits I picked up at the last workshop. They are very similar

Next is the Jacob’s ladder variation

Jacob’s ladder square

here’s what I wanted, now to check color placement..glad I figured it out with no instructions! Ahhhh

And now with a border...

New quilt!

I saw this layout and didn’t realize it was the Jacob’s Ladder square.  So made a few using some charm squares and fat quarters. Jennie Doan has a cool video for making quick 4-patches. But I’m having some trouble duplicating the layout I want...need to move and rotate plus make some more. I can see there are numerous variations. Fun!

I’ve got it, need 8 more squares for a lap size. Here is the one I saw on a blog, 3and3quarters.net

June finish

this is all ready for donation!
