Sunrise Quilt

This is the quilt top for the Thimbleberries Club 2005 Block of the Month. The blocks made two smaller items. This can be used as a lap quilt or wall hanging. It measures 62 by 76 inches. It will go to the quilter the next time I go to town.

There is a row of the blue floral around the outside that I did not get in this photo.


This is the center of the quilt with the 6 blocks.

This was a fun one to piece. Lots of different things to do for each block. It is not as hard as it looks, really it isn't.

Hawaiian

I purchased four fat quarters when in Hawaii last winter. I did not know what to do with them. I decided to make a four block item to hang on the wall or to use on a table. I made two. One larger and one smaller one. I plan on hand quilting these.

These are a couple of photos of the "Garden Nine Patch" taken before I took it to the quilter. I will post a picture when I get it back and get the binding on.




About This Blog

I have decided to add another blog to post about my quilt projects. I have been working on some quilt projects lately. Many of these, I have had the fabric and instructions laying around for a year or more.

I recently pieced the top of one called "Garden Nine Patch" in lavendar, beige and dark purple. It is at the machine quilter's now. it is 85 by 102 inches.

Next I did the Thimbleberries Club 2005 Block of the Month. Two small quilts were to be made. I finished the one called "Sunset" and took it in to be quilted. I just finished piecing the one called "Sunrise" today. I will take this to the quilter on Monday.

I had purchased some fat quarters in Hawaii a year ago. I have cut them to make four 12 inch squares. I put white between the squares and around the edge. I also made a smaller one that is 9 inch squares. I am undecided on the quilting of these two. I may hand quilt around the flowers on these.

Next I am going to work on a Christmas one that I have laying around. After that, I may finish the 2004 Thimbleberries Club. This was a hard one to begin quilting so I put it away for awhile until I could get more practice.

Will post photos after I get them back and have put the binding on them.
