Time sure flies! I forgot to post my Scrap Squad quilt. Click the link and you will see my blog post about the process of making it. There is a lot of piecing in this quilt but I love the purple! I named it Violets.
I have been working on many small projects, trying to tidy up some leftover blocks and pieces for doll quilts for charity. I got borders on my Christmas quilt, cut out more Itty Bitty blocks and started plotting for a quilt retreat in November. I went to a quilt show Oct. 17th in Spokane, WA. It was awesome and very inspiring. I hope to do a blog post on that soon.
These are two doll quilt tops I made from pieces of Scrap Squad projects. The green and white one is from a trial of adding green squares into the above quilt. The one on the right is from leftover Fairy Frost fabrics from my Gemstones quilt I showed in this post. Now if I could learn to take straight photos...

| doll quilt tops for charity |
We went on a road trip to Utah last week. 1300 miles and 2 nights at our daughter's in Boise and 2 nights at our daughter's in Utah (and visiting our amazing grandkids in Utah) was a quick but fun trip. I had started this project quite some time ago and at the Spokane quilt show I found the Pacific Rim Quilts booth. It reminded me of this quilt and I went to a friend's to sew one afternoon and took this project. It is now completely appliqued since my husband did most of the driving on our trip. I can't wait to quilt it... someday...

Dragonflies
|
In July I was in McCall, ID and purchased some lovely fabric from the Jingle line at Huckleberry Patches quilt shop. I love the aqua and red! I was there in September and bought background and border along with a pattern I found pictured below. I added a couple pieces from the Daysail line in the stash too.
Snippets pattern I found that fit the fabrics perfectly! I love the classic look of this, although I may get tired of triangles! It will be a perfect retreat project in November.

Lovely shares today. The dragonflies are stunning, and I approve of the fabric and pattern choice you've got going with those holiday colors. Good luck with all those triangles!
I like your Violets! The green mini and fairy frost are cute too. What charity did you make the doll quilts for? Have fun with the snippets pattern. Nice Christmas fabrics. Congrats on getting your applique done on the Road Trip.
I love your Violets and am making my own version right now :)
It's a fun pattern to sew for sure!
