Yeah, still quilting

I'm going to ride this wave for as long as it lasts. Come Christmas, I'll have most of my list done already!

Here are a couple more (and I have 4 finished tops waiting to be quilted). I am finally getting the hang of the free-motion quilting: my bobbin tension is okay (I slowed down and took smaller stitches on the curves), and I've settled on stippling as *my* style.

These two are scrap quilts.

The pinwheels from this one were assembled from the Tranquility cut-offs and extra jelly roll strips. I had the pinwheels done a long time ago, so putting the rest of the top together took a single afternoon. I just let the pieces line up with random colors, alternating larger and smaller pinwheel blocks. I think it's every bit as cool as any planned quilt.

And this one was put together with all scrap fabrics, using the Dresden Plate template. I think it'll be sandwiched and quilted next.

Whereas many of the quilts have  been strip-pieced, this one took a bit longer, with every single triangle sewn separately. My friend DeeAnn thinks it looks like nautical flags. If so, there are some pirates nearby...

I think it's very retro-looking.

Found Blocks

A couple of weeks ago, I went searching in my fabric stash (what? I have lots of stashes...), looking for a specific accent fabric that I *knew* I had. I didn't find it. But I did find these...

16 big quilt blocks that I had forgotten entirely. I did finally find a reference to them here and here from back in 2009. I have a vague memory of frustration over the arrangement of the blocks (trying to keep matching fabrics away from each other)(which I quickly remembered was impossible, so I finally settled for the centers to be non-matching), and I assume I put them away. Also, right around then, my old sewing machine really and truly started to die.

But I have a new sewing machine now... so....

P.S. I still hesitate to show my free-motion quilting to actual quilters, but I am getting better each time I try it.

P.S.S. It's about 60" square
