Design Wall Monday

I started out with these blocks I made a couple of weeks ago. I made a quilt with them a couple of years ago, pictured here. I was never really happy with the setting. It looks interrupted to me.

So I fooled around with the sashing and came up with this:

Now I'm auditioning borders. My daughter says it deserves something more than just plain borders and she may be right.

Design Wall Monday

I was up late so I decided to post before I went to bed instead of in the morning. This was on my wall until late:

This pattern is called Carriage House by Pat Speth. It's available for free download on the Windham fabrics website. It only needs the final border. Then I started working on these blocks:

This is all an attempt to reduce my scraps. It seems like scraps multiply when you're not looking. Hopefully I will be able to get my scrap drawers shut soon.

Spring Break

Since last week was spring break, I took the week off, except Wednesday. I started and finished the following two quilt tops. The first is Buffalo Ridge from Nickel Quilts by Pat Speth.

The second is Carriage House, also by Pat Speth. The pattern can be downloaded from the Windham Fabrics website here.

I also put the green quilt blocks together and decided on a border. Then I finished a quilt I can't blog about because it's a surprise gift. All in all, a great week. I got a lot accomplished and used up some scraps on the two quilts pictured.
