Spromgtime Mosaic Pinwheel


I saw this pattern on About.com and decided to try it. The pattern plainly gave directions for an 8 inch block, and a 24 inch block, but for some reason, in my mind I thought , I was cutting out a 12 inch block.  I was going to use 12, 12 inch blocks, so I thought.  Imagine my surprise when I started putting it together. A 24 inch block is a bigggg block. I ended up making two  twin size quilts of  six blocks each, plus layers between blocks and a couple of borders. The quilts really worked up quickly.

Ships at Sea


I have made the Ships at Sea before, but, recently two nieces , each had a boy, and  a cousin of mine,had a grandson. Most boys probably like boats. I figured this would be the quickest. Each quilt is just a little  different, by different color of boat, borders, and backing. I delivered one to my cousin today, and will mail another soon. The third one, I am waiting for a new address. Her husband is returning from Afghanastan, and is moving to where he will be stationed.

Linus Quilts

I finally got working on a few Linus Quilts. Just using any material,. that a  child would be interested in and adding a few borders
