As life begins to return to something close to normal for our family after the gigantic move from San Francisco to North Carolina, I have been opening bins of fabric and unfinished projects. With the holidays approaching, it was a good time to complete some donation quilts. Here are some samples:
The ever-growing stack of crumb blocks turned into this strong top. DH says it qualifies for use by a boy !!!
This one comes from orphan blocks with a bit of red sashing. Any time I have any leftover block, I size it up to 12.5 inches and put it in the orphan pile, so I have lots of variety to choose from !
this is just a top, but I just fell in love with it. This is for a Challenge for Quilts Beyond Borders.
and last but not at all least, some simple half-square triangles, all ready to go hug a child somewhere. I just love the simplicity of traditional quilts !
Meanwhile, I am busy planning for my exhibition at the Birmingham Festival of Quilts next summer, and I decided it was time I had a real web page, in addition to a blog...… Now THAT can eat up all your spare time !!!! Soon, soon.

Great to see these all together! I'm feeling inspired by the masculine first one today. I have a bunch of fairly bright scrappy blocks that could really work with a strong, more grayed background like that for Covered in Love. I always feel like those quilts should be a little more somber.
