Linus Quilts

Here are a couple of quilts I made a few months ago and forgot to add to my blog.Most are made from child like prints and adding borders etc.

Pin Wheel Quilt

I finally finished my Pin Wheel Quilt, with Flying Geese border. The Pin Wheel is fun to work on. I especially like the white on white for background. The quilt is about 79" by 89".
The problem with making this size, is finding a place big enough to assemble it. I finally went to my sisters senior residence. We put three tables together. Even hemming on the binding and tying it was awkward t

o work on. I think I will stick to twin size from now on.

Gramdma's Attic Quilt, & Pin Wheel Quilt

This is the first grandma's  Attic Quilt I have tried. It was very easy to put together. I wanted something  that would work for a man, who liked outdoor sports. It is roughly  60" by 48".  I call  it a nap size quilt/

Linus Quilts

I recently finished a few more quilts for Linus. I had hoped to finish them before Christmas time, but unfortunately, didn't make it .I usually make scrap quilts, or try and use any materials that are child oriented, and build around it using borders etc. I had been working on a large pinwheel quilt, but ran into trouble putting on a flying geese border . I decided to put it aside and  work on these, but still didn't finish the quilts in time to deliver them before Christmas. Just too many things going on.

Charity Quilts

I made up a few crazy quilts, using up a lot of scraps. I found some leftover pieces from one of the first quilts, I made. I put them together to make the middle of a small quilt. Some of the Crazy Quilts are quite bright and crazy mixed up colors. I hope children like them.

The next two quilts, I used leftover 2 -1/2" squares  from my Cathedral Window Quilts. One was done all by hand, including, the border,  but machine stitched the binding. I just thought I would try one, as it was something to do while watching TV, or take while traveling. I actually enjoyed it. It is a nap size quilt, and I am keeping it as it is the first one I tried.

Then with the rest of the squares, I put them together by machine. It makes a good baby size,or child's quilt. It will probably go to Linus Quilts

Crazy Quilts

Every once in a while, I decide to work on some crazy quilts, hoping to use up some of my scraps and leftovers. I decided to make a douple of fairly large  twin size quilts. I need them to cover an extra long twin size bed. I back these on a 13 inch square. I think it makes it stronger and a little warmer. The typical crazy quilt is about 100" x 51", and the other one is about 51 x 88.
