Play time at my house

This is what play time at my house looks like...

This is my 2012 Moda U quilt....

This block is one I added because I didn't like the other ones I had to choose from in the pattern.  I used my Marti Michell template sets A and C. I believe the pattern is called Georgetown Star.


 
I used my own fabric collection, mostly "Beach House" by Blackbird Designs for Moda.


 
 
 
Almost a top.
 
 
 
 
and...
This is a quilt  I am quilting for a friend...
 
 
 
She did all the embroidery by hand. Let me tell you - it is gorgeous! And she made 4 of them! One for each of her children.
 

 
 
We are trying to get them done for Christmas.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
There's lots of fun going on around here!

#10 Hunter's Star

I finally completed a quilt for my husband.  He really likes blue and yellow, but not the soft color combination.  This is my lifetime quilt #10...

 
I added the light blue fabric and I really think it ruined it.
 
 
 
 
I did a regular meandering stitch with invisible thread.   It fits on a queen-size bed and is the biggest quilt I have made so far.
 
 I currently have a green and purple quilt in the works for him. The new one is done with a kaliedoscope ruler.
