Year one was black and white prints, year two was beiges and browns and last year was circles and swirls. Each of 20 friends brought 2 piles of 8" squares of each type. The <a href="http://quiltcrazy-janet.blogspot.com/2015/05/i-love-brown.html">beiges and browns</a> became a king size wedding quilt with additions from my stash. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The black and white top was made with no one in mind and hung in my closet for 3 years. I chose to use the pattern <a href="http://www.mccallsquilting.com/quickquilts/articles/Chop_Stix_Strips_Strip_Pieced_Asian_Themed_Lap_Quilt_Pattern">"Chop Stix Strips"</a> that was shared in our quilt class. My friends and I had already used this pattern for a <a href="http://quiltcrazy-janet.blogspot.com/2014/06/collaborative-quilts.html">retiree's quilt</a>. </span><br />

<span style="text-align: start;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><span style="font-size: large;">The "CIRCLES & SWIRLS" quilt </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">turned out to be very bright and striking. The only guidelines for fabric choices were no poke-a-dots so the color choices were wide open. The challenge was to coordinate the colors in each square. Again I supplemented a few circles and swirls from my stash.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My Grandson at 10 deserved a new, more grown up quilt. What are your favorite colors? Yellow and Blue. </span><span style="font-size: large;">It also needed to be a geometric design since </span><span style="font-size: large;">numbers and shapes are the way he views the world. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I saw this Zigzag pattern in a quilt store and decided it would be easy to duplicate. It turned out to be more complex than the simple block it is based on. The block is a 9 patch with each square a combo of 2 colors cut diagonally. (Basically a "stack & wack", cut at the same angle from 2 rectangles, accounting for the seam allowance.) Each square is turned to create the continuous zigzag. There are two different block arrangements. It was difficult to </span><span style="font-size: large;">keep track of the </span><span style="font-size: large;">placement of the 2 blocks so </span><span style="font-size: large;">the grays & turquoises </span><span style="font-size: large;">matched up.</span></div>

We ended up with 40 6" squares, enough for a small quilt but I had a larger one in mind. I added more light, medium and dark beige/browns from my sash and my sister's to make 145 squares with sashing. This will be another king size wedding quilt for my grandnephew.</span><br />

By doing this corners had extra seams and bulk.

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm a Grandmother for the 4th time and blessed with a perfect little girl. Each son now has 2 kids each, 2 boys for Tim and 2 girls for Andy. Of course I was making her a quilt while we were awaiting her arrival. I left a space to embroider her name, weight and birth day once she came.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I attend a senior class once a week. When someone wants to rid themselves of unwanted scraps or stash fabric, they leave it out for anyone to take. Most of the reproduction flour sack prints in this quilt came from those donations. They were small squares, strips and cut flowers. Using some of the left overs from <a href="http://quiltcrazy-janet.blogspot.com/2011/07/its-girl.html">big sister's quilt</a>, I had enough to make this quilt.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My husband and I travel a lot, many times on a cruise. This last trip lasted for 35 days with more days at sea than in port. I planned to take this project for those restful days. Unable to bring an iron nor wanting to use that technique, I used a glue stick to tack the edges under (<a href="http://fabrictherapy.blogspot.com/2011/04/glue-stick-applique-tutorial-part-one.html">Tutorial</a>). This has been a very successful and easy way to prep my applique in the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=14835453607082973#editor/target=post;postID=3221003370363993142;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=0;src=postname">past</a>. I was able to complete both turning the edges and hand applique before disembarking. The hand quilting was done during the last month while waiting for our newest granddaughter.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After completing a quilt for my <a href="http://quiltcrazy-janet.blogspot.com/2014/09/go-duke.html">younger son</a>, the oldest asked me to make him one. He requested a vintage train theme. I began my search online finding the cost of shipping really adding up so I asked my friends to be on the lookout. They came through. I also searched every shop I visited. Soon I came up with a variety of train fabrics.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I finished hand quilting this wedding quilt for my grand nephew, Jack. He is only 10 but my goal is to make a queen or king quilt for each of my 4 grandchildren and my sister's 7. They range in age from 13 to 2 weeks. I have 3 more to make. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I read online when storing quilts, they should be folded on the basis to avoid permanent creases. They are also stored in fabric bags (never plastic). I use large complementary laundry bags from hotels. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: start;">I was amazed that this quilt top went together so fast. With careful directional pressing, the seams locked together and lined up perfectly.

<span style="font-size: large;">I gathered scraps, asked friends and went through my stash.

<span style="font-size: large;">I could sew one block at a time and still have the second layout in place to refer to. The decision to cut 2 turned out to be a great accident.

<span style="font-size: large;"> I had already purchased (on sale) these coordinating fabrics with stripes, repetitive prints and large focus designs. It took larger amounts of fabric because they needed to be fussy cut. The finishing touch that tied it all together were the triangles, an idea that came from <a href="http://www.quiltinaday.com/shoponline/book/51423">Eleanor Burns</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am working on quilts for my sister's 7 and my 3 grandchildren. I've been making them now while my health is good and my hands still work. They are stored in breathable bags and marked with each child's name. Each one is meant to be an heirloom therefore I have chosen traditional designs. I know they will be appreciated because each of these children have received multiple quilts from me and they are used, loved and new ones requested as they have grown into their next stage of childhood.</span><br />

She has been part of our teacher quilter's group from the beginning and has helped make all the retiree quilts. We will miss her since she will also be moving to Prescott, Arizona but we are already planning a gals quilting retreat to her new home.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Autumn, my grandniece, will be the recipient of this quilt. She is only 12, so it is stored in a cloth bag for now with a label telling her that it was made with love by her Aunt Janet.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This had been on my to do list for years. I found this different adaptation using multiple prints of light and dark instead of the traditional 2 color design. The original quilt size is 54" x 66" but I added extra blocks to make it king size. I started by collecting scraps from various sources, cutting no more than 12 of each shape from both light and dark prints. Part way into the cutting I realized that the pattern called for more light scraps than dark. I wasn't going to discard the extras so I made the outer squares the reverse of light and dark. You may notice the difference or not. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I chose to hand piece the curves because of their size but also because I was laid up with foot surgery. The blocks were machine pieced.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">In planning the layout, I used 12'x12' scrapbook paper to arrange the small squares. I rolled masking tape and fixed them in place on the paper until ready to sew each block. By laying out all the squares first I achieved a balanced design. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I had foot surgery last week. All is going well but it does restrict my independence. I'm using a walker and hopping on my good foot. All should be mended in 6 weeks and another 6 weeks of being careful.</span> </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In the mean time I have finished embroidering the countries we have visited onto the border of the quilt, <a href="http://quiltcrazy-janet.blogspot.com/2013/04/around-world.html">"AROUND THE WORLD"</a>. With my quilting friends here today, I managed to sew on the border. Now to decide on the backing. I have a <a href="http://quiltcrazy-janet.blogspot.com/2012/03/love-of-travel.html">panel</a> of vintage cruise ships and luggage tags to incorporate. The designing should be fun.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This quilt is for my grandniece, Vanessa for her wedding day. She is only 12, so I'm planning ahead. Who knows if I can still make these king size quilts when the time comes.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoLeyP8wujRpDntQ8BjABi1gLPFLuH7_9B3UQWQH8z5xg9jZ4JnME4uusUJNWMhsLpOyl_XpRwAd_Sl-W4WiNTfezTuPR8Cv0SDD0XrEVfCF8zH4SBB7u_zSb3byqiAaP-p6usqlFa/s1600/DSC06717.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoLeyP8wujRpDntQ8BjABi1gLPFLuH7_9B3UQWQH8z5xg9jZ4JnME4uusUJNWMhsLpOyl_XpRwAd_Sl-W4WiNTfezTuPR8Cv0SDD0XrEVfCF8zH4SBB7u_zSb3byqiAaP-p6usqlFa/s640/DSC06717.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I have put a tutorial together to help those who would like to attempt this. On the first side I was tacking each fold before stitching down the binding. By the second side I had mastered the fold as I was stitching the binding but it was still difficult. By the third and fourth sides I had figured out how to pin each fold with small embroidery pins. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">HINT: I cut my bias binding 2" wide, planning a quarter inch seam. I also basted the binding on the seam line prior to machine sewing.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We discovered this hummingbird nest earlier this week. She sits on her 2 eggs right outside our window, hence the glare in the photo.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The mother periodically leaves the nest to feed. We have observed her feeding them just once. It's so amazing and fun to watch.</span></div>
