Finished Quilts

 I'll post photos here. These are in no particular order, so if you're trying to apply logic to the list, you're going to hurt your brain. Just stop it. 

This is my newest pride and joy!  This is the 2010 Calico Hutch Block of the Month (my first BOM!). It's done in earth-tone batiks and the finishing kit made it into this HUGE quilt. Officially the biggest one I've ever done!

I also quilted it myself - sort of. There's a fantastic business concept called "Quilt Yourself" in Savage, MN, where you learn to do long-arm quilting on a Statler Stitcher and you can rent the machine to quilt it yourself.  I spent 10 hours doing the quilting on this.

I got a Champion ribbon on it from the Freeborn County Fair in Albert Lea, MN.

This is a fun quilt that I just haven't figured out what to do with. It is a one-block wonder from a "hot sauce bottle" design. (Used Maxine Rosenthal's book)

I haven't quilted this one yet since I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it.


This purple quilt was a mystery quilt that my sister thought would work very well at her nursing home that was in the midst of being re-done. I need to get there and see it hanging and get a better picture than this one.

I long-arm quilted this on a Gammill Vision Long-Arm machine.

This is a Block of the Month quilt that I did with a fun quilt store in Eagan (MN). Quilt Cove is a quilter's dream because they are very "kit-focused" as well having one of the best monthly quilter's club called the "Quarter Inch Club." Sue (the owner) shows the newest fabrics, patterns, kits, and always has a demo of a new product.

I haven't quilted it yet as I'm contemplating doing it by hand.

(Full disclosure: this is a picture of the sample and not my finished quilt because it's too big for me to get a decent photo)

Bought this kit from Calico Hutch (Hayward, MN). The pattern is called Confetti and it's from the book Super Simple Fat Quarter Quilts by Lynda Milligan & Nancy Smith.
This another quilt that I've pieced but haven't quilted yet. I have orange minky fabric for the backing.

Wow, I've had this one sitting around for a long time! And here's a surprise - it's not quilted yet.

These last three un-quilted quilts are all small enough to do on my regular machine, so why haven't a managed to get them done.

This is a great log cabin quilt with one of my favorite color combinations - blue & yellow.

 This is one of my very early quilts! I think I made it in the early 1990s for my nephew Aaron.  My plan was to make a quilt for each of my 9 nieces and nephews. They were allowed to pick out the pattern and the colors.  I only managed to make 5 of the 9 quilts in the 90's before my life went into another direction and I left quilting behind (gasp!)

Aaron's middle name is Thomas, so I think he liked the "T" pattern.

It's interesting to look at this quilt now and realize how much easier it would be make it because of the skills I have learned in the last couple of years.
