My Quilts

Linda December 6, 2008 1

Here are some of my “finished” projects.

Blue Bayou

I thought it would be fun to design and assemble a sampler quilt while crocheting a matching afghan. I chose simple traditional blocks so that I wouldn’t be too challenged with designing the matching pattern for the crocheted afghan.

Sudoku Wall Hanging

I finally got around to doing a Sudoku quilt, which has been on my list for a couple of years. This wall hanging is a finished size of 24 x 24 and is roughly based on McCall’s Quick Quilts version. I reduced the size, spiffed up the sashing, and increased the proportion of the border.

Eva Juliette

I made this quilt for our godson's first daughter.

Kaleidoscope Star

This pattern was first offered to AllOurQuilts.com members by Susan Parisi. We used fussy cutting to match patterns for the center box of the star.

Blue Lagoon

My first original quilt design. A quilt-as-you go approach.

I am experimenting with my own layout design here. Army Star, Is the block used.I used the quilt-as-you-go-approach. I started in the center and worked rounds out.[img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/blue-lagoon/thumbs/thumbs_img_0752.jpg]Blue Lagoon – Completed April 2008
It sat in my closet for months as we debated putting the house on the market for a move to Alabama.[img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/blue-lagoon/thumbs/thumbs_img_0753.jpg]Blue Lagoon – Completed April 2008
Round 3 has been attached and I’ve pin basted it for quilting. [img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/blue-lagoon/thumbs/thumbs_img_0754.jpg]Blue Lagoon – Completed April 2008

On a lark, I decided to do one of the rounds with a white background on the back. I wish I hadn’t.[img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/blue-lagoon/thumbs/thumbs_img_0942.jpg]Blue Lagoon – Completed April 2008

Buckeye Beauty

When Softball Saga was driving me nuts, I'd switch to this quilt as therapy.

Softball Saga

This quilt is made from softball team shirts for my niece's high school graduation.

My niece graduated from high school in 2007. From grade school through high school she has pitched on various softball teams.[img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/softball-saga/thumbs/thumbs_img_0632.jpg]Softball Saga – Completed April 2007
Her mother wanted to have a memory quilt made using her game shirts.[img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/softball-saga/thumbs/thumbs_img_0634.jpg]Softball Saga – Completed April 2007
During this process I learned T-shirt fabric, even with stiffener is not easy to quilt.[img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/softball-saga/thumbs/thumbs_img_0637.jpg]Softball Saga – Completed April 2007
Half way there[img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/softball-saga/thumbs/thumbs_img_0638.jpg]Softball Saga – Completed April 2007
I decided to make and quilt the individual squares, then piece it all together.[img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/softball-saga/thumbs/thumbs_img_0640.jpg]Softball Saga – Completed April 2007
The back side…used multiple colors for interest.[img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/softball-saga/thumbs/thumbs_img_0641.jpg]Softball Saga – Completed April 2007
The back side….seaming the rows together.[img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/softball-saga/thumbs/thumbs_img_0660.jpg]Softball Saga – Completed April 2007
I used a row of multi-fabric quarter squares to join between rows of teams with plain white strips on the back side.[img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/softball-saga/thumbs/thumbs_img_0661.jpg]Softball Saga – Completed April 2007

Sunny very seriously wanting to lay on it.[img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/softball-saga/thumbs/thumbs_img_0659.jpg]Softball Saga – Completed April 2007
I decided a very simple border was needed. I wanted to blend all the different fabric colors but not detract from the individual squares. I ended up choosing the blue over the red fabric.[img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/softball-saga/thumbs/thumbs_img_0735.jpg]Softball Saga – Completed April 2007
Finally..it’s done! Stacy acting as my quality control inspector.[img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/softball-saga/thumbs/thumbs_img_0736.jpg]Softball Saga – Completed April 2007
The end result is nice but I won’t use this process again[img src=http://hobbystash.com/wp-content/flagallery/softball-saga/thumbs/thumbs_img_0737.jpg]Softball Saga – Completed April 2007
