More Favorite Color wallhangings

leftover strips from log cabin. quilted throw size

I found the strip quilt made from leftovers of the log cabin quilt (I cut and cut and cut for that one). I thought I donated it, but there it was in my linen closet with the other 200 and some quilts (mostly wallhangings). I also found a LOT of other projects in similar colors. Yes, definitely my favorites! I know there are more hanging around if I look. The guest bed quilt is a blue and purple and green bear paw quilt. It's fun to look at some of my projects from over the years. I was in a LOT of Round Robins between 2000 and 2007. Back in those days it wasn't as expensive to mail a box of fabric!

Favorite Colors

Apparently I have some favorite colors as I have several quilt tops using these colors! These are my go to colors! I looked at a collection of fabrics I have sitting there to make "Fire Island Hostas" and yes, they are pretty much the same colors! I have one quilt that isn't shown. I quilted it and donated it last year without taking a picture! It was leftover strips from the Log Cabin pictured below.
