My friend Michele finished her tiny village:

And I made a couple of tops for myself.

Both these were made from quilting cotton. The one with all the letters (they say nothing, so don’t try too hard) was from the sale shelf and I made this boxy top to try out a pattern. The border print was a bolt end that I found while browsing (when I probably should have stayed home, but oh well).

So it was a fun, low-stress week! Do you make clothes? If so, what patterns do you like?

When I finish a quilt I cut any scraps into strips of standard width and store them in little drawers by size. So when I came across this pattern from an old issue of Modern Quilts Unlimited, I was ready to go.

This quilt was designed by Elaine Schmidt, whose website is here.

These blocks finish 20″ square, so this was quick to make despite the multiple little trapezoids in the centers. In fact it was so much fun (and I have so many scraps) that I may make it again.

Meanwhile it’s going to the friend who quilts our donations for Flying Horse Farms. Here’s a picture of the last load of quilts she delivered from our group–I love the stack of colors!

Any fun scrap quilts at your house?

Remember my single EPP flower?

I put it together with 4 other orphan blocks and made a little quilt, and a friend quilted it.

The 4 other blocks were made from this pattern:

This pattern is Bubbles by Aylin Ozturk. It is available through PayHip, here.

Although beautiful, these log cabin dot blocks were tedious in the extreme so I quit at 4.

This little table runner is for the “boutique” one of my guilds will have at their quilt show.

Runner from the book Tabletastic!2 by Doug Leko.

I’m working on some other little quilts for Ronald McDonald House as well, so stay tuned…
