Just checking in to say Hi...

I really don't have anything new on the quilty front to show, so I thought I'd put up a couple of pictures of quilts that I did last year. The first one is made from the Chocolat fabric that Moda did a couple of years ago. I'm not sure why but I really didn't enjoy making this quilt, but it has become my favorite to cuddle with lately.

 

This quilt is one that I made and decided to give to my Mom for a housewarming present when she moved into her condo. Somehow it reminds me of her and she loves the colors.

 

I have been working on my Pies & Tarts blocks...geez they take a while, but I love them and can't wait to start putting them together...someday soon, I hope! Also working on the last fairy block and then I'll put them together. Next week will be a tough one as we have a town wide sale called Krazy Daze and it requires lots of work in the heat. I'm still checking out blogs for inspiration though. See you around!

Thanks for sharing.

I made a quilt from the Chocolat line too. I gave it to my friend for her 45th birthday. I wish I would have bought more fabric from that line.

I missed out on the Chocolat line, but I love those colors--the little hints of blue among the reds and browns is very effective.

The Chocolat line of fabric was a yummy one and your quilt looks wonderful. I am not fond of making those stars with the long skinny points but I do like the look.

It's always a pleasure to see your quilts. The pies and tarts are going to be so worth it.
