I have been quilting since 1999 and have decided to keep an online journal of my quilts. In this way, I can document their history and preserve their memory for my family and future generations. Most of my quilts are made as gifts; and with few exceptions, I have taken pictures of my quilts with their recipient. I have also made many charity quilts for Project Linus, Wrapped in Hope and Quilts for Kids.

Please join me for my quilt parade!

My Quilt #113 ~ RWB Star & Hourglass Quilt Top 2006

2553313710052745537NAedXc_fs

Unfinished Quilt Top 58 x 58 ~ Sold on eBay $34.96

This quilt is made of 5-inch-square scraps from my stash.  It consists of 16 Star blocks and 40 Hourglass sashing units.  It uses a block setting of 4 x 4. 

Although I used a large variety of reds, blues and creams to make this patriotic top, it can easily be used throughout the year.  I was frustrated with it because it does not lie flat, which you can see in the picture.  I hope once it’s quilted and washed that it’ll work out.

Pattern is from the More Nickel Quilts book by Pat Speth.  I sold it in January 2007.
