Simple Scrappy Squares Quilt Top Complete

This quilt began as something totally different. I cut up a bunch of 6 1/2 inch squares for a quilt that I was going to make. As I started that project, I realized I didn't like where it was going, so I decided not to do it. Only problem with that was I had a bunch of 6 1/2 inch squares. I also had a bunch of 2 1/2 inch squares to use up as well. The only thing I had to cut up was the sashing. Talk about an easy quilt to make, especially when most of the cutting was already done ahead of time.

1930's Churn Dash Quilt Top Complete!

So what do you do when you are in a hotel room for five days due to work? You quilt of course! This past week I brought some of my quilting projects with me and managed to get this quilt top done. This is my first attempt at a 1930's quilt. I probably should have made it bigger but it is hard to lay it out in a hotel room. I was pretty much confined to the bed to lay the blocks out since there wasn't much floor space available. I may add a border but haven't decided yet. I need to get some of these quilts finished up. They are starting to pile up on me! I think I have seven or eight quilt tops ready to quilt. Time to breakout the longarm!

Crumb Quilt Top Complete

Happy 4th! This quilt has been a work in progress since around April. I started by making 4 1/2 inch crumb blocks and then sewed four of them together to make an 8 1/2 inch block. I used 3 1/2 inch scrappy cornerstones and 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch navy blue sashing. I hope to get it completed by the end of the month. I love making these and have another one started already. I am keeping a pile of crumbs by the sewing machine and using them as leaders and enders. It is any easy way to make another quilt while working on other quilts.
