Betty's Garden

The last project that I am working on right now is Betty's Garden. It is a beautiful quilt pattern of flowers that are all pieced. I have chosen to use batiks for this quilt and it is just stunning. While uploading the pictures onto my computer I noticed that I made one of the blocks wrong but I will leave it the way it is and call it artistic freedom. LOL!! Here are the blocks that are done. I still have two more the piece and then I will start on the sashing and assemble the top.


Asters


Cactus Flower


Crocus


Forget Me Not


Lily


Mother's Roses


Peony


Rosebud


Roses


Sunflower

Well that is all for now. As soon as I get the last two blocks made I will get them posted.

Have a great weekend.

Block of the Month.

Back when I first started making quilts 5 years ago I enrolled in a Block of the Month. We as you can guess I never finished it. I decided a couple of weeks ago to pull it out and work on it. Here are the blocks so far. Now a side note, because I was so new to quilting the blocks are not pieced that well. There are cut off points and other problems but it was one of my first projects.


Block 1


Block 2


Block 3


Block 4


Block 5


Block 6


Block 7

That is all the blocks I have completed for now. I will continue to work on this quilt and post more later.

New Sylvia's Bridal Quilt Blocks

I have been busy lately working on several projects. Here are my latest blocks for the Sylvia Bridal Quilt Sampler.


This is the Barrister's block.


Bear's Paw


Big T


Bow Tie


Boy's Nonsense


Bright Hopes


Card Trick

Well that is all for now. I don't know when I will get to work on this quilt again as I will be house sitting this week and I will not be home with my sewing machine. I have started a new project and that is an applique quilt. I have decided to make Millie's Garden by Piece O' Cake. I am new to applique but so far I am doing well.
Check out the next couple of posts for some other projects I have been working on.
