A finish: Double 4 patch quilt

 Good day and welcome to my blog!

I have a finish to show, a quilt started last year.  The stashbuster block for 2020 found here:

https://media.rainpos.com/5177/the_stash_buster_challenge_2020_block_instructions_v2.pdf

is the pattern I used.  One has to plan which two colors to go together in the block, but then it works up quickly.  I used Civil War reproduction fabric.  I sure have a lot of it and I am trying to get the volume down.  My quilt ended up to be about 70 by 85 inches, but the picture I took of the whole quilt on my phone won't upload to my email.  Curious.

Anyhow, here is a shot of the corner:

And a view of the quilting, seen on the back:

Pardon the shadows!  The quilting was done by a local lady who has a long arm business.  She does a fantastic job.  I just dropped off two more quilts to her.

This one I hope to give away to a family member.

Mini quilt for a swap and other progress

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.

I have a project in progress to share.  I signed up for Lori's Humble mini-quilt swap, and I am partly along in the machine quilting of this little one:

The broken dishes pattern, and note that pinwheels appear when you set the blocks side by side.  The mini or doll quilts are supposed to look as if they time traveled from the past.  I am imagining a woman in 1890, using leftover squares and bits from a recent quilt project, making a doll quilt for her daughter.

Other progress:  Three at a time quilt project is now a top.  This is a picture showing more progress:

And growing up odd is now a top:
