Quilt #21

is 36 layercakes topped with 36 charm squares topped with 36 2 1/2" squares all raw edges hanging out! Very easy to do. I think I'll have to fire my photographer--he cut the top of the quilt off!
I also just finished the binding on # 22, but that will be posted tomorrow. I have another one almost quilted, but won't make it for this year! (I DO have other things to accomplish!)

Quilts # 19 and 20

This first one is a Lake Clark Mystery in purple and teal--DH likes this one better than the one in red.
And #20 can't be seen yet--it is the mystery for the quilt guild retreat in Homer in February. (But I will say this: DH liked it!!)

Quilt # 17 and 18

The Christmas twin size was pieced at the Northwoods retreat in Homer this fall. I was smart and ONLY took this to work on. Halfway through I got bored and wanted to do something else but couldn't since this was my one and only project. See, I know how I am and wanted this done for THIS Christmas!! and it was!
And this baby quilt is a BQ3 pattern--the shower is just around the corner and I didn't have time to get more elaborate. I have baby girl quilts stockpiled, but there has been a flurry of boys born at church--no girls :(. And this one put me over the 100 yards used from stash for this year--barely!!

Quilt #16

This will be the last Christmas project I finish in time for use this year. If I don't wait til December 1st maybe I'll have the rest of the stuff done before Christmas next year. Or maybe not.....

This year's bull calf was munching on my peonies and very photogenic!
(Notice our lack of snow!!)

Quilt # 14

This one is called Brit's Blitz --designed by Barb Steckel and FINALLY completed (only a few years after I took the class with her!) It is a mixture of quilting cottons and batiks.

Quilt #13

This is a BQ2 pattern--I HAD to have the focal, so to justify the purchase of MORE fabric, it is a wedding gift. Pretty good, huh?!
I did the quilting with Superior omni thread and the pattern is called Splash.

Quilts # 11 and 12

Since I can't hold a quilt and take its picture at the same time, two quilts that have been done for a couple of weeks will have to wait til DH gets home. But in the meantime, I have determined to start AND finish!!! some Christmas panels I've had in my Christmas fabric tote for I won't confess how long. The first one I did is this years and got me moving!
