Batik Quilt Done at Last

I have at last got my Twin Size Batik quilt done (ok, it was done 2 weeks ago), but I made this top almost a year ago.  Because of the size it sat for a long time without a back and then when that was done.  It again sat for a long time as Tanya worked up her desire to baste it.  Above it is pictured on my sons Bunk Bed.

Trying out the new quilt rack that was found at thrift store.  This quilt is made with dark and light grey batik material and then 10 inch blocks at a diagonal of random batik fabrics out of 2 1/2 inch squares.

A close up of  one of the square blocks.  Each of blocks is quilted in the square design.  It took a long time to quilt them as I quilted down each side, spiraling in and I underestimated the effort of turning the quilt in circles.

It cover the top of a queen size bed.

The back is a combination of the light and dark batiks.

Ghastlies

This quilt was finished a while back.  We just never got pictures and a post done.

Here is a close up of one of the blocks.

It is a difficult quilt to get pictures of.   Each of the wonky blocks has slightly different quilting.

It has been added to our etsy store. We also working on finishing some table runners and wall hangings out of Ghastlies.  We haven't decided if the one we our keeping will go on wall or table, decisions?

Oh no, up she goes!

Yes, can you believe this kid can climb a ladder all by her self.  The second I saw here do this (OK after I took pictures) I took the ladder down and let Jared know he will have to climb up the side, the ladder is gone until his little sister is a little older. 

When not climbing, she likes to hang out, on the shelve under "mom's sewing desk" playing with scraps.

Strips of minky make great scarves. She is now officially 18 months old

Richard's Star Quilt

Well my long last desire of a quilt for my own bed is getting a little closer.  I now have the center block of the quilt done.  The above block is 40 inches by 40 inches (yes, this is yet again another one of my stars)

Here are a couple shots of the main star with a few of the 20 inch brown and turquoise blocks around it.

Well, no time to yack I have a million 2 1/2 inch blocks to still sew.
