Learned to Rotary Cut in '03

Believe it or not this king size quilt is the result of learning how to rotary cut in 2003, and then being too afraid to do anything with all the strips I cut out. Then in the summer of 2007 in anticipation of company from Australia I pulled out all of the strips I had so carefully hung from hangers by safety pins and made this quilt to spruce up the guest room.

Sale on Brown an Beige Fat Quarters

I had collected neutral fat quarters to mount a doily remnant my grandmother had made for my mother's hope chest. Sixty four years later the doilies had to be mounted to be preserved. I over bought on the brown hence this twin size quilt was born.

Mystery Quilt #2

This monstrosity is again the result of adding on to a mystery quilt so I could use it as a table cloth or twin bedspread. I didn’t like it well enough to hang.

Twin size

First Mystery Quilt

This pattern I actually liked completed, but I used JoAnne fabric of lesser quality for most of it, and therefore, after all that work it seems a bit flimsy. Then again if one ever made the perfect quilt there would be no need to continue making them, and what fun would that be?

This one is also twin size

King Size of oriental prints

I saw this pattern in a magazine, and then as always used EQ to tweak the size of the blocks. I over bought on the Oriental fabric at a Peoria Quilt show. The vendors would only sell by the yard rather than the quarter yard hence the abundance of projects with oriental scraps in the other posts.
