Stack & Whack Blocks-Quilt
Had so much fun making this, I made two twin size quilts! The background is hand dyed blue, sashed with black borders and binding. Used the left overs on the back.

Another Baby Quilt Top
After I've collected a stash of happy fabrics, I'll mix them all together and make a batch of tops.
Made 3 baby quilt tops with enough fabric left over to make a roomy twin.

Baby Quilts
These baby quilts are super easy to make. A mix of squares and rectangles using fat quarters. Collecting fabric and then throwing it together makes the mix interesting.

A few stars
To start the creative flow. It's Sunday and I've got the day to myself. Too cold for a walk, too lazy for the gym...maybe a nice soup and a low fire. (Quilt- Evening Star- all in flannels)
