Car Quilt

Tanya and I made this car quilt for a family at church who recently had a baby.  This is the 3rd quilt we have made with this material it is a interesting print from I believe Australia or  at least made for there as some of the signs show kangaroo crossings.

Each quilt we made used basically the same designs.  I like but don't like the material at the same time.  It is cute but because of the size of the prints its hard to figure out what to make of the material but all in all I think it turned out well.

Purple Owl Quilt

Tanya has been up to her old tricks again making cute rag quilts here is a cute purple owl quilt.  She also took the time recently to sit down and take pictures of many of our quilts that we have not yet posted and those that did not have great pictures I think she did a fantastic job.

For this quilt she had 2 alternating squares on the front with the purple flannel on the back.

Working on Rag Quilts and other projects!

Trying to get back into things after the busy last 3 weeks, Tanya and I decided to do some of the many rag quilts we have been putting off.  For my part, I chopped up all of the fabrics and stacked them in piles and spare boxes we had in the front room.

Tanya picked fronts and backs and started to sew X's on them

As you can see from the various pictures we have stuff for at least 6-8 rag quilts.

The 2 below boxes were given to me from Tanya to sew into quilts.  I cut the fabric, she sewed the X's, I sewed the quilts together and she will cut them.  Each of us doing the parts that we were fast at.

Below is one of the 4 quilts that I finished sewing the 2 above and the green turtles too. 

All in all its a wide variety of materials and colors.  Tanya does a great job picking colors and putting them together.

Lastly tonight I started quilting my orange diagonal quilt.  When I sat down to make this post, I found this picture in my email. This was created by one of my blog followers that got a free diagonal quilt pattern from me.  I love how this quilt turned out and am a fan of the red/black/grays together.
