I'm just in the middle of finishing some projects so I don't have anything new to show. I have had a leisurely week which happens after I finish a special piece. After finishing a project (heart quilt) I have such an empty feeling. Maybe that is why I have so much unfinished work.
Below are 2 small quilts that I finished last year. The first one is one of those slash projects where you make blocks, then slash them off center to the right and below center horizontally. Rearrange the pieces into new blocks. Of course you have to make a variety of blocks; they can't be all the same fabrics. These fabrics for the center were a leftover pile of 3.5" strips that didn't get used in another quilt. Amazingly all of the leftovers went together well.
On the one below I was inspired by a quilt in some magazine and made the pieced blocks, but soon grew tired of the color palette and found a batik with animals on it in my stash to fill in as alternate blocks. This one was sold at the IL Artisan's gallery last year.
