  The other day, I was scrambling through my tubs of fabric and came across one filled with vintage fabrics.  I found this classic pattern to use with them.  Half-square triangles and 2 patches make these blocks really quick to do.   Aunt Grace's Scrappy Quilt

After doing a ribbon block for the New York Firefighters, I created a few more blocks and made my own version of  The Ribbon Quilt .

This quilt has an interesting layout of blocks and borders.  It was a very fast quilt to make. JBlue & Gold Stars

As many of you know, when we are demonstrating the ruler, we end up with lots of pieces cut from our demonstration strips.  Deciding what to do with them is a real challenge.  Earlier this year, we went to a retreat in Canada.  One gal there asked for our demo pieces.  We gladly gave them to her.  She, in turn, has started to make quilts for the Children's Hospital from them.  Our hat is off to this quilter with a heart of gold.  Here is what she created with those leftover pieces. J Brenda's Quilt

  This week, I found this great little mystery quilt pattern.  It worked up in less than 2 hours. This quilt was designed by Leonore Neumann.JPrecious Preemie

After I finished up the previous quilt, I wondered what would happen if I added a 1/2" to the squares.  The result is a nice wallhanging quilt. Again, this pattern was designed by Leonore Neumann.  Our thanks for sharing the pattern with all of us!   Abstract Star

I've been on vacation for a week, but I did manage to find time to bind this table runner.  If you haven't noticed, I  like working with high contast colors.  JMaple Leaf Table Runner II

This week, I created a self-imposed challenge:  Go to my fabric stash, pull out a piece of fabric I dislike and that I've had for a few years and create something wonderful with it.  Here's what I did with it.  This is a simple one block quilt with a unique block and sash added. JQuilter's Dream(The fabric I disliked so much was the light pink floral, in case you were curious.)

UPDATE!  This quilt took a BLUE RIBBON at the Minidoka County Fair - 2002!
Here is a quilt done with 9-patches and HST's.  I wasn't really excited about this quilt until I put on the borders.  In this case, I think the borders made the quilt.   Big Block Quilt

UPDATE! This quilt took a BLUE RIBBON at the Twin Falls County Fair - 2001.
I had a date with my featherweight!  This is what I came up with.  This is another miniature done with half-square triangles.  When I first saw this pattern, it was done with 4-1/2" HST.  I put a couple rows together and didn't really like what I saw.  I cut down the HST's to 2" and liked the finished product much better. Blue Star Mystery

UPDATE!  This quilt took a BLUE RIBBON at the Minidoka County Fair - 2001. As typical of human nature, I am never satisfied with the temperature outside.  If it is cold, I yearn for the summer heat.  If it is hot, I yearn for the crisp autumn mornings.  Well, since fall is more than a couple months away, I created my own version of fall.   Color of Fall

Take a look at this creative way to use the Wonder Cut.  Thanks to Fish for sharing!  This is just a great scrappy quilt!  J Fish's Scrappy Stars

Every year, I look for "the quilt" that will be my county fair quilt.  I found this pattern in Houston while at Quilt Market.  This past week, I put some mega-hours into it and have it finished.  This quilt reminds me so much of my home State, Wyoming.  It was not a surprise to me that the pattern designer is also from there.

I looked around my sewing room, and saw at least five projects in various stages of completion.  Enough I say!  Time to finish a few of them up.  Here we go.  This first one only needed the binding sewn on.  This is a perfect way to showcase novelty fabric.  In this case, the flag fabric is the focal point.  Three-part squares make up the center of this table runner that I call Old GloryWouldn't you know it!  I have some fabric left.  *ugh*   Old Glory - Take 2

What do you do with fat quarters??  My penpal from New York sent me a lovely collection of eight fat quarters for Christmas.  I wanted to put them together in a quilt.  I also needed to make a quilt for my first little niece or nephew that was due to arrive at the end of March.  So, with all that in mind, here is the result The 8 Fat Quarter Quilt .

As the snow falls and the wind howls, I find myself wishing it was spring.  To get out of those winter blues, I created this quilt called Make Your Own Sunshine. J Yellow is not one of my favorite colors to work with, but this fabric just defines the word "spring" to me.

  UPDATE!    This quilt took a BLUE RIBBON at our county fair this summer! This quilt is dedicated to my cat, Tiffany, who has been my quilting partner for the last 16 years.  Truly quilting would have been very lonely at times, if she was not sitting beside me every stitch of the way.  I read this saying once and I think it truly applies "Cats come in many colors.  What color would you like with your quilt?" Patchwork CatsJ

This quilt is made from half-square triangles and 3-part triangles.  It's a traditional pattern, but is very quick, not to mention easy, to put together with the Wonder Cut Ruler.   Missouri StarJ
