La Passacaglia - Quilt Top Complete

I started working on this quilt in early 2016 (see my progress), and now the quilt top is complete!  I just love it, but my husband seems to be obsessed with knowing how many little pieces there are.  I just refuse to figure it out, but he guesstimates 2,500 pieces.  So, now it is done and I'll be pondering how I'll quilt it.  I'm trying to not overthink it and go with a large meandering or large swirl quilting pattern, or maybe something like concentric circles that mirror each rosette.  Check back to see what I settle on.  It should be soon; I already have the quilt binding (solid black) ready to go.

Paisley Splash Elephant Baby Quilt - for Baby Lively

We learned earlier this year that our nephew and his wife are expecting a child!  It will be the first baby in the next generation on either side of our family, so it's quite an exciting event.  Of course, a baby quilt was in order, and not just one of simple squares of various cute fabrics.  So the search began for patterns and ideas.

Pin Wheels and Windmills - Japanese Taupe

I don't even know how long ago I started working on this quilt, but I was inspired by the pictures on the Pink Caramel blog.  The blog post does give much information, but I loved the intertwined windmills, as well as the Japanese taupes.  I can't even say I started working on it with the end goal of making a quilt.  Here's the story of how it came together.
