Damons Quilt

You may remember this quilt that I blogged about last month,

its for my nephew Damon who is a student at 

Sacramento State University.  He is a Mechanical Engineer Student.

I decided to go very masculine with his quilt and use recycled 

mens shirts and make string blocks...

I even talked his brother into helping me!

This is Damons younger brother Zane...he is also a student at

Sacramento State.  He loves to come and hang out with his crazy 

Aunt Julianne on the weekends..so I put him to work!  Its 

fantastic to see this 6' 3" handsome guy sewing! His 

grandmother would be so proud!

Probably needless to say, he is a dork just like me...

must be genetic! LOL!

He completed several blocks...and he did a great job!

I was so thankful for the help, lord knows I have a ton of stuff to 

get done for craft fairs and the holidays! He was a big help to me!

Heres where we left off...I put all of our blocks together 

and we have a good size top, now I just need to figure 

out borders and then wrestle with the longarm!  

Heres a close up...its pretty neat looking!  

I know Damon will love it, hes been wanting a new quilt

for quite a while and I know he will be thrilled!

More Bonnie Hunter Love

Have I ever

 I had another brain fart and started another 

Scrappy Spiderweb Quilt

(its a free pattern on her blog)

This one is all random neutrals

for the points and bright scraps for the webs..

I've decided that this quilt isnt big enough yet so

QBSA-November

Heres my block for my partner in the 

QBSA Paper Pieced group for November,

this one is for Kerry in Australia..she requested 

any block in a variety of greens, 

Jade, Mint, Bottle Green, Teal Etc with Grey.

Then my partner Wendy, also from Australia

 in the QBSA 12" group requested any block in

Mushroom, Taupe, Sands & Tans...

so I killed two birds with one stone and made her the same block...

Done and in the mail, they should have them by now!

Sisters Choice

I was watching Quilt Cam with Bonnie Hunter a few 

episodes ago and she was making one of her 

free patterns...Sisters Choice.  Needless to say,

I got a itch and tickle and a cramp and started one immediately.

Is anyone surprised by that?

I decided to do all different scraps for the Orange Star points...the 9 patches are all random scraps as are the neutrals!!

Heres 42 blocks all put together....I love it!

A close up of all this Scrapalicious Deliciousness!!

I love you Bonnie Hunter!!  I do I do!!

from my stash for the borders, didn't cost me a dime!

I love all the different blues...time to get it on

the dreaded longarm frame!!

Another finish coming up!

My pal Kathy of Kathys Quilting Blog

@ new2quilting.blogspot.com

turned me onto the Block Lotto. She and I are

always getting each other into Quilty trouble, but honestly I
think neither of us would have it any other way!
She is truly a "sister from another mister"...one of these days I
hope to get to meet her!

Planned Round Robin Starter Block

Crazy me joined up with Beaquilter.com for a planned Round Robin.

Thats where your single center block travels all over the states and 

has rows added to it every month, then when you get it back, its

a pretty good size quilt that you can complete or add to.  Its alot

of fun, I always am so thrilled with the finished product!

This is my "Scrap Attack" Starter block, I love it,

its so "ME", Scrappy Deliciousness!!! Cant wait to see what all the

Awesome quilters do to it! I know it will be amazing!

Yippee!!

Grand Illusion Fabric Pull Update

I am getting ready for the new 

Bonnie Hunter Mystery!! 

GRAND ILLUSION!!

Since I am not a huge fan of lots of yellow in a 

quilt, I have decided to use this toffee color instead.

I also added some plums to my pink pile...I think its looking 

pretty good, cant wait to get started!

Thanks Bonnie!
Looking forward to another gorgeous quilt!
