Round Robin Round One

This 16-inch square is the beginning of a new quilt. I'll send it off to Sue and she will add the first border. Next Wanda will get it, then Berte and Carol. Finally, it will come back to me for finishing. In the meantime, I will be working in turn on each of their quilts.

The top is put together and will now wait to be quilted.

How to Tie a Bow Tie

This little bow tie is the basic unit for a piece I'm making. It started out as five 2 1/2 inch squares, three of the main fabric, and two bakcground:
These are sewn together to make a rather strange arrangement. Sewing the final seam results in a three-dimentional bow tie.

Table Topper

It took me a while, but I finally finished the challenge project from September 2018. We five quilters all picked a pack of papers we used as guides for cutting out fabric - either 10-inch or 5-inch squares. I chose the 5-inch, so my pieces are very small. For this reason I made a table topper instead of a quilt. The fun part was designing the piece and deciding how to put it all together. How many pinwheels do you see?
