Quilt 1 of 4 - Finished!

I think I mentioned that I caught the quilting bug.  I'm still going strong on the quilting front and I'm having lots of fun! 

Here are the lastest quilts I've made:

The first is a baby quilt for sale (at a local shop - MOTHER GOOSE, in Northfield, MN).  The fabrics are from Urban Chicks "Dream On" Collection.  This quilt used 2 charm packs to make (minus 3 squares). 

The colors look awfully bright in the photos but the quilt in person is more muted in color (like the first photo).  It's bound in Kona Canary and the backing is a fabric from Anna Maria Horner's Chocolate Lollipop Collection. 

It was very fun to play with the half square triangles and if you look very closely - you can see that I put them in "warm" and "cool" square sets.

Geese in Ring Quilt Bee Blocks - DONE!

I'm finally finished with my Geese in Ring Blocks!  Here they are!

 Plums and Purples block.  This one was the hardest for me as I don't have many purples or plum fabrics.

 This one is for Valkryie.  She said we could do whatever we wanted.  It's a semi-rainbow.

 

This one is yellows, blues and greens.  I found that almost all of my blues are light blue or turquoise.  I suppose that's something to work on stash-wise!

 This is another rainbow block!

 This block is orange, yellow and green.  She wanted repeating colors if I remember correctly.  I hope everyone likes their blocks!!

 This was my test block but I'm sending it in as a rainbow block.  I don't know if I should pick who gets which rainbow block or let them pick their blocks on flickr.  

 

This is the last block.  Another rainbow.  They're pretty when you put them all together.  I never have any idea where to place the pinks and browns.  

I had a fun time making these blocks and I'm excited to have them all done.  I like to think that a piece of my handiwork will be in quilts across the world!  Thanks to all the other ladies who participated in the swap also.  I'll be making a nice lap quilt with a rainbow sashing (that's the plan so far).
