Chevron Lap Quilt

First of two quilts going to Moore!

work in progress

Well, I started pulling fabric for my next Black & White quilt.  I've started sewing the Dresden's for it.  Since we had such bad storms last night (south of us, poor people in Oklahoma City area) lightening and thunder all around, I was to nervous and it was to late to start quilting on the Roseville, so I pulled fabric for the next Primitive block.  This is a design by Blackbird designs, so pretty.  My daughter wants this quilt, said it will go perfect in her new home.  By the way her test came out great this week, her liver looks great.  That's wonderful news.....anyway.  Here is the mess I have going on in my sewing room right now.  I usually work on several quilts at one time, as you can well see.  I think most of us OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE QUILTERS DO.....you can see my design wall has several black & whites, interviewing fabrics for backgound fabrics.  So little time....

I'm making baby quilts.....

Finished the Butterfly baby quilt and also the Rag baby quilt

Niece Sabrina Chevron Quilt

I made this Chevron quilt for my Niece Sabrina.  I didn't post pictures before because it was a surprise for her.  She recently moved to her new place, so I wanted to do something special for her.  She asked for a Teal and Brown quilt.  Well, as you know I don't work with darks, so I went out and bought these fabrics (now what to do with them) the Chevron worked out great.  I strip pieced this one, it was great fun.  She loved the quilt

Creative juices flowing

First of all, I had a wonderful Mother's Day.  Our met for lunch, had a great time.  Our eldest grandson came to lunch, with rose and card in hand.  As, sweetest thing ever.  Thanking my husband and I for being to special to him.  I think he must be growing up.  21 now....good looking kid.  All the grandkids are awesome.....

came home and che creative juices began to flow.  I already had two of the squares done, but really got to rolling.  This is the same pattern I made the "Yellow" quilt out of.  Saw it in Atlanta last year at InTown Quilter, their's was a sample for a shop hop that they had.  Anyway, I used some scrap fabric I had from a long ago unfinished project from Karen Stone called  "Delirious".  I put the teal/brown fabric up, just couldn't get anything going with those leftovers.....I tried....then I thought, I those chose left over fabrics would work, got them out and started cutting strips, wallah, success everything was so bright and cheery, LOVE IT.   I really think this quilt coulde be made in a day if one could start at arund 5:30 and end at 5:30.  I know everyone wouldn't want to sew that long, but I would.  You know, when you get into that "creative flow"  you just want to go for it. 

This quilt came out darling, I think it's probably one of the cutiest baby quilt's I've ever made.  I can see many more on the horizon.  I think the brighter the fabric the better.

I still have to put the outside border on and quilt it....
