Post #100 and Quilt a Day #20

I realized this is post #100, finally! I don't have any cute ideas for a giveaway at this moment, I've been too busy with other things. I will have to think on this one!

My guild tied more quilts today, but didn't have as many people show up today and I had to leave and go do some 4-H judging for awhile. I think for the two days 8 quilts were tied so that was pretty good.

This quilt is called Star Struck and is a Jackie Robinson design. I didn't purchase the kit, but rather my own fabrics in similar colors because I love purple and green together. I don't like green on it's own but teamed with purple it's fabulous! It's very dimensional and weighs a lot and Sally Howard of Seattle did an awesome job on the quilting quilt a few years ago. I just didn't think I could handle the weight in my home machine and it's a very large quilt. It was fun, but time consuming to construct!

I changed the picture on the previous post to the finished quilt instead of the quilt top for the 4-H fundraiser and I found the year was 2006 that I made that quilt. I thought I was posting the finished quilt the first time!

A busy day with work, dentist, yet another blood draw and major grocery shopping.

This quilt was one I had totally forgotten about and I forgot how much I loved it. I donated it to the 4-H program in 2005. Fortunately we were able to stop doing raffles after the next year, because I was really donating a lot and had a hard time saying no! I am a huge believer in volunteering and I still do lead 4-H sewing and quilting projects.I have no clue when I made this delectable mountain quilt, possibly around 2002. It's not a great photo, it was taken at a quilt show. Sally Howard in Seattle machine quilted it for me and did a fabulous job. I had seen it in an old issue of Quilting Today magazine.
