Tie Quilt for Mom

When my sister and I discovered that our Mother had saved her father's ties, disassembled them, and was using them for crazy quilting, we were inspired to make this quilt that included some of the fabric from these ties.  It was a gift to her, probably for Mother's Day or her birthday.

Seminole Patchwork for Beth

Too many years ago to even remember, I made this wall quilt for my sister.  It's the first introduction I had to Strip Piecing, in this case, making Seminole Patchwork.

Perfect Pieced Circles

Today I tried out a technique I've seen others use for making a pieced circle block. My first attempt was not so great, but my second attempt was almost perfect!

Disappearing Four Patch - Tyler & Maranda's Quilt

I think one of the hardest things to do is to make a quilt that is neither too masculine nor too feminine.  This Disappearing Four Patch pattern along with the nice combination of colors in this quilt does a pretty good job of coming in middle of the road.
