Deb's Winter Wonderland

I had Deb's name this year for our Priceless Christmas quilt swap. I hand embroidered this "Winter Wonderland" quilt. I can't wait to start one for me now. This is what I spent much of my summer doing but I couldn't show it.

Squished Pineapple - two of them

This quilt was made for Cody and Becky's wedding. The pattern is not mine, but the way I pieced it was my own invention. It is done with strip piecing -- not paper piecing -- and the use of one template in the center following by a series of cuts done with a square ruler.

I made another one for Andy and Kelly's wedding. Theirs was burgandy and green.

I would so love to make it again; however, it takes 9 yards of just the background fabric -- around 18 yards total. It would cost $170 just to make the top at today's prices.
