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.

Crown of Thorns - top pieced in Sept. 2014 at a retreat sponsored by Quilt Taffy.  Pattern by Judy Niemeyer.


Stars and Scraps.  Pieced in 2013 and 2014.  Currently almost finished quilting and it will be a gift.

Quilt a day #28

This morning I dug into that bin of strips I showed yesterday and sorted them into paper bags by type. I think I can make string quilts for forever! I do have one grouping of purple, that one will be for me! This afternoon I ran to Lewiston with Doug, first time I have ever been to town and not needed to go to a store! I was able to get the two baby quilts I pieced yesterday quilted and just have to stitch down the bindings so I will show them tomorrow.

These are two round robins I did. The first one was my center and others added the other borders around it. I love blue and white as you can tell from the second photo. It was a row robin and my original row is the second one from the bottom. One over achiever of the group did the applique in the center depicting the scene on blue willow dishes. It's fabulous! I happen to have two blue willow plates. I have these two quilts in my dining room. The row robin is draped over a chair.
