Twin quilts:

This quilt was a bit of a challenge.  I was told the fabric would not work together, but was determined to prove it could.  The dark maroon fabric was part of the same collection as the florals, but quite dark.  This is an example of a time when the photo is not as fabulous as the actual quilt.  The dark doesn't stand out as much as it seems in the photo.  I was pleased with this modified 1/4 log cabin block quilt!  (Sue P)

#175

This quilt was a way to use up some layer cake blocks I liked in a catalog, but not so much in real life!  I love HSTs so I made giant ones and played with layouts till liked one.  (Sue P)

This quilt uses some of the same fabric collection as the gaint log cabin quilt above.  We kitted a bunch of 8 1/2" squares and (someone) designed the layout. (Sue P)

Back to our 2013 collection

Sometimes a pattern and fabric don't get along quite as well as we hope........

Here's a quilt Lois made using some challenging fabric.  Her idea was that if you mix it up, and then cut it up, it will hide the ugly and become a beautiful quilt.  We've had success with this principle quite often, but not this time.

The pattern used is called 'Disappearing 9 Patch'  The border helped a bit to frame it up and draw your eye away from the wild bold patterns.

Enjoy Lois's creation!

#153

Just to prove the 'Disappearing 9 Patch' would work Sue P whipped one up with fabrics with a little less wild patterns, more solids. 

The truth is Lois's creation is so much more fun and memorable.  

And, really I am not a fan of cutting the blocks apart once they're together anyway.  I always chuckle when people ask why we quilters cut up perfectly good fabric and sew it back together.  In the case of this quilt, I think cutting once is good enough...sew it and then move on!
