Most of the first post about 2013 showed special projects. Here are the quilts.

This quilt, made from a Batavian Batiks pattern, hangs in my husband’s office

And here is a donation quilt made from extra blocks. I used it to try out blended borders.
Here are two more donation quilts, made for Ronald McDonald House in 2013:

Happy Plaids is my own design, but there are MANY similar quilts out there

Twinkle, a pattern by Swirly Girl Designs, was made because I had some fabulous leftover fabric
This is made with bright batiks and templates from Elisa’s Backporch Design
This is the back
The first post about 2013 projects included a table runner made from leftovers after I finished this next quilt:

This quilt, pieced improvisationally from bright batiks and black, is one of my all-time favorites.
This quilt was for a special baby; and yes, that’s me with my beautiful daughter 🙂

Quilt for a special baby!
I found a pattern for this little miniature while on a trip, and just couldn’t resist making it–all from scraps, of course.

Miniature quilt–I’m sorry I don’t recall the name of the designer.
Here’s an improvisationally designed T shirt quilt I made for a friend:

Modern T Shirt Quilt, using my favorite method of designing as I go
And finally, the last Ronald McDonald quilt for 2013, made from blocks that were just too wild without solid sashing!
That’s what I could find for 2013! More years later.

I especially love the twinkle quilt and how you photographed it……love the “models” in your display of the baby quilt :-)…..and always admire your generosity it donating so many to worthy causes……
Thank you! See you soon 😊
So much cheerful goodness here! I love the plaids, I love the batiks at the top. Twinkle and the Roman/Chinese coins are both delicious. Thanks for sharing. I always feel inspired looking at your quilts.
Thank you! I always enjoy your quilts, too. It may even help that we have entirely different styles 🙂
Quite a collection. I love the batik one that you started out with and chuckled at “my own design but there are a lot like it out there.” I doubt that there is much that is really original or unique
How true! I am constantly amazed at the number of patterns available to make plus quilts, for example 😊
🙂
