Catching up once again

Well, it has been a busy month, at least sewing wise.  I've been spending lots of productive hours in my sewing room and having a marvelous time listening to favorite audio books.  I realized today that I had nine quilts that I hadn't posted about yet so here is the update.

Last post, I had shown a quilt I called small donuts.  This one I'm calling large donuts.  As always, it's fun to group the novelties by color.  I also used up some random triangle left overs.


These next two I thought I would try using strips of black and white.  I always seem to use 2.5" strips in colors but the black and white have been sitting in the drawer.  These were fast to do.



This whirly gig pattern is a repeat that I loved enough to keep.  This one will be a donation.


I saw the inspiration for this pattern in a t-shirt quilt.  The optical illusion created by the black and white was such fun I wanted to try it with novelties.  I love how it came out and I'm sure I'll do another one eventually.


This black and white with rainbow is a repeat of one made during Covid.  Still trying to use up some of those black and white novelties that seem to hang around forever.


This pattern called Wild Thing is a favorite.  This is the 3rd time I've made it.  The first one was for a young lady who loved purple (she is now an adult).  The second I did in rainbow colors a few years ago and loved how it turned out, so thought I'd do it again.  Lots of trimming on all those triangles though.


I had noted this pattern from Donna Jordan's website, called Mix and Match.  I decided to use up a charm pack that I could never figure out what to do with.  The colors aren't my favorites, but it is a very interesting pattern.  It wouldn't work with novelties though, so not sure I'll do it again.


This pattern called Blooming Meadows was designed by Nancy Rink.  I used up some bright flannels I had gotten on sale a few years ago, along with the yellow from my stash.  This one will be in our guild auction in September.  


Phew, well that's the quick update.  Back to sewing!
