They didn't stand a chance! I do more scrap quilts than any other kind. It's kinda weird how many scrap quilts I make. I wonder why I don't have more quilts that have a full pattern. Ah well, I don't wonder very long.
Here's a quick one I made for the fun of it. I saw the style in a magazine and made a quick lap quilt out of it.
I shall name it ... uh .... Pinwheels and Diamonds? Sure, sounds good. Can't see the pinwheels for the diamonds? Well, they're there. Can't see the diamonds for the pinwheels? Well, they're there. Can't see the forest for the trees? Can't help you there.
I then got to quilt it on a long arm quilting machine that I sometimes have access to. Shout out to BR! What what! So here's the back.
I used a pantograph called Cotton Candy that was super fast. On and off the machine in about three hours. Now if only all my crafting saw results that quickly!
An outlet for people to see the pretty things I can do. And often I do them at the expense of all other things I should be doing. But they're so cute, who can blame me!

Second post - Quilt
I've been obsessed with quilts these days. So much so that I have to put two, count them two, alarms on my phone to tell me it's time to put down the rotary cutter and go to BED! And even that doesn't work sometimes. Maybe I need three....
Anyway, that's not important. What is important is the finished product!
I give you a beautiful quilt I designed and my quilt club was able to help me realize the dream.
This brings up a point. I was thinking of naming my quilts... Perhaps I'll name this one Tic Tac 9 Patch. Has a fun ring to it.
The quilting is basically just stitch in the ditch, except when I missed and wasn't quite in the ditch. Sometimes my straight lines have a lot of personality. Let's say drunken personality.
All in all, it was a fun one to make!
