Zig zag quilts are ready for gifting

Good day and welcome to my blog.
Quilts I started this summer are done done and ready for gifting!  And in time too.

I worked with a pattern from this book:

And made two zig zag quilts one in blue, and one in red.
The blue quilt:

With thin blue binding.  And a peek of the back:

And now the red quilt:

And a peek of the back:

Both are quilted by a local longarmer in the pattern "Baptist Clams".  Both are being gifted this weekend to family members, who I hope will love them.

Red and white log cabin start

I saw a picture of a red and white log cabin quilt on Facebook, and was so inspired.  I started my own.  Logs finish at 1 inch.  Each block finishes at 10 inches square.  Here are my first blocks, laid out on the floor.

This is the arrangement in my inspiration quilt.  I have plenty of white shirting fabric, but I 'had' to buy more red fabric!  This will keep me busy during the holiday season.

Crayon Box quilt finished

It's Wednesday, so it must be time to blog!
Hello and welcome.
I have a finish to report.  It's of a top I made in 2018, as part of a challenge to use up a slew of 2 inch strips of 30's reproduction fabrics.  It is the crayon box pattern by Bonnie Hunter, found on her blog under free patterns.  Her directions are for 2.5 inch strips, so I resized it for 2 inch strips.
I sent it off to a local long arm quilter to have it quilted - it's a pretty hefty size and I did not look forward to shoving it under my old but trusty Kenmore.
Quilted and laid out on the design floor:

And a close up of the border, using very vintage yardage, an early Aunt Grace fabric:

Bound with the same border fabric.  No home for this one, yet.

Idaho Square Dance top is finished

Finally some progress!  I worked hard on this over the weekend.  Lots of navy blue in my stash.  I held back some one yard pieces for borders.  Pieced to get the length needed of course but that is all right.
Final size with borders:  about 72 by 92 inches, so a good twin size.

And I dropped it off with the long arm quilter yesterday.  She is going to get it done before Christmas!  I have plans to give it to a family member.
