Recent Finishes

I guess I got so busy with sifting and selling off my excess fabric bolts I totally forgot to post my recent finishes. Many I've already posted progress, but I never posted the final photos. I'd been trying to clear some UFOs before I start new projects.

This was the quick Scot's Plaid pattern made with a large-scale Hawaiian fabric I fussy cut for the squares. 

This is the Broken Bricks pattern with the leftover Hawaiian fabrics scraps. Even the border is scraps. I quilted it with Hibiscus Tea by A Bit Orange. And the batting is made up of scraps of Quilter's Dream Green.

This is the Nine Patch Twirl I didn't particularly like last year. I still don't love it, but it has grown on me now that it has been quilted.


All of these quilts are in the pile to find a new home. If someone in the family doesn't claim them in the next year or two, they will ultimately get donated to Comfort Quilts.

Fibonacci Fleurish Design

Many years ago my husband designed a fibonacci quilt and I finished it in early 2010.

We ran across the spreadsheet he made at the time and we decided to try and write it up into a real pattern that could be shared. I've been working on it this week. I've never written up a quilt pattern before so I'm just trying to be as detailed as I can be.

He actually decided to somewhat change the pattern and make it larger. Now it finishes at approximately 70"x70". 

I'm mostly finished with my first draft so now I'm going to test the pattern.
