Blooming 9-Patch

I want to share this quilt top. This quilt started 10 years ago. One of my BFFs started it after seeing one that I had made. She and I went to Rosie's Calico Cupboard and bought all of the fabric. We modified the design to include 10 fabrics (the original had 8) and to make it into a king sized quilt. After 10 years, she brought me the top in July. It was about 3/4 done...but she just was at a place where she needed to have it done. I had been offering my help for 10 years and now was the time to make good on that offer.

So, 2 months later, I brought her back the completed quilt top:

She put it on her bed while I was there and we snapped some more pictures... But I love this one..both my kids are holding this up over the 2nd floor of my house...and I still could not get the entire thing within the picture frame.

Enjoy!

Panda -mania

While in Hawaii in May, I saw some really cool Panda fabric at one of the fabric stores. I have a friend that loves Pandas and I look for them everywhere I go... so... I asked her if she wanted green, blue, or pink background...and then I bought a yard of each!

I asked what she would like me to make, and she said napkins and place mats. So, I made some place mats and napkins...and then I used every other piece I had and made a small quilt for the tabletop...Here's the quilt:

Here's the back:

It's also fabric I bought in Hawaii...so I think that's all cool!

She's already set the table for her grandkids and they all love it!

Another success!!
