Scrap Bag Triangles - Jolynn

I pieced this top in my very early quilting days almost entirely out of a bag of scraps someone gave me. I was pretty poor back then and thrilled to have a "free" project. Some of the fabric pieces are pretty old looking; but I love it. I just love scrappy, old looking quilts!

I found two quilt blocks in magazines and made this quilt out of them by alternating them. They are all half square triangles. Such intricate piecing is not really for a beginner, but I think it made up nice anyway.

Justin's Christmas Log Cabin

This is Justin's Christmas quilt. It is log cabin blocks. Lorna, my mother-in-law, had made this pattern into a baby quilt. I fell in love! She was headed up state to buy fabric one day and I gave her some money and told her to get me the Christmas fabric for this quilt. I didn't pick out any of it. I love the quilt and cherish the memory of her picking it out for me.

Birdhouse RR from Ruby's - Jolynn

These birdhouses were from a round robin I joined at Ruby's Inn in Bryce Canyon. Kaye Evans was the host. We agreed to join the group at Ruby's in February and brought them completed to Annual Meeting in September of the same year. My blocks are the pink and green ones that are coordinating fabrics. This was easy and fun. I added the applique birds to add some focal points. This one goes out to Jolynn.
