Today is National Quilting Day, whether quilting,enjoying a quilt show,or showing off your finishes as well as quilts in progress,it's a day to celebrate quilts,I've just gotten back into quilting a few years ago & managed to finish a few in the last two years this is a wonky log cabin block with a keyboard border I made for a Rainbow Scrap Challenge I had a lot of Americana fabrics left from when I use to make dolls & made this take five blocks quilt
last year I decided I wanted to make a Fall rag quilt,all fabrics were from my stash
my last finish was a week ago,I wanted a cottagee look & had just enough fabrics from other projects to pull this quilt together,I did the take five block on this one as well
each of these quilts come out to around a 56X 60, the perfect lap size for snuggling,I have plans for my first full size quilt coming up soon,there's a few UFOs flying around that will turn into a*chicken quilt
*red/white large stars quilt
*little houses quilt
Quilt in progress
4"blocks for a yearly Rainbow Scrap Challenge that I participate in over at So Scrappy ,I'm doing a color wash theme with my blocks this year
when things settle down🤣yes that's a funny thought,this is my very first quilt I made with my Aunt over 15 years ago waiting to be quilted,she taught me to quilt old school on her 100 yr old quilting frame,shed always told me do it right which ment by hand,many have told me to just run it through the machine but I said I would & I will,it's been on my heart to finish it up & hoping to get to it as soon as possible,I have no idea what the block is called ,I think she made it up but she if anybody knows if there's a name for this old block I'd luv to know
Lots of wonderful finished quilts! Love them all, especially the wonky log cabin. Love the quilt you made together with your aunt (don't know the name of the block). I agree, you should hand quilt it, it's your first and special quilt, taught by your aunt.
