Calico Days topper

 I used calico days fabric in this topper for my cube organizer with wicker baskets....
the same fabric I used for my charm box mini wallhanging....
I also added to the space a metal box that I painted in a class 10 years ago........
 I have been wanting to do straight line quilting again because it is so fun......
It finishes at 10 x 11½............
 I needed to do some more straight line quilting so I decided to do a quilt as you go placemat...
it is in progress I am not sure what I will do to finish........
 Sew Sampler for June...
 Quilty Box for June,,,

Block I made for an online friend who wanted Halloween stars with oranges, blacks, lime green, purple with bright white background.
I used Pat Sloan Little Wishes pattern..........

Linking to crazy mom quilts    finish it up Friday

Full moon....time for Log Cabin Loonies

Here is what I have so far with my log cabin blocks.  I am making 4½" size blocks using 1½" strips...
And the larger blocks have 2½" strips and are 8½" blocks.  I did one with the outer strips of the larger block being wood grain like logs.................it was a test to see if I like it or not!  What do you think?

Linking with JulieKQuilts for this full moon log cabin lunacy fun!!

Charm Box quilt mini

 I finished this cute little charm box quilt that I started in January....hanging in my kitchen!
Fat Quarter Shop showed the top 10 videos from 2015 and this was one of them.
 I used calico days mini charms and fabric by Lori Holt.
 I did hand quilting on most of it and FMQ heart leaves on the border,
Here is how the top looked when I finished it in January...very quick and fun.  I changed the measurements so it is not exactly like the free pattern.  It finishes at 15x15.
