No Scrap Left Behind Inspiration

As soon as AmandaJean Nyberg's new book came out, I had to read it.  Her quilt "Slopes" spoke to me.

So here is my version. I Quilted it with matchstick quilting with lots of the colors of thread that are represented in the design. 

This quilt will hang in my entryway to announce that a quilter lives here!

Linking up to Crazy Mom Quilts Finish it up Friday.

Christmas Lassie

Christmas Lassie finished in December 2016.  This is just the top, I'll get more photos now that I've figured out how to get photos from my devices to this blogger format. Hooray, I'm back in blogging business.

This is like my Bonnie Lassies quilt, with Christmas colors and a few Christmas prints. All the light colors are the same. I think I like the original one better. The more fabrics the richer the quilt. . . .

Baby Girl Quilt

My brother has a new great granddaughter!  So she gets a quilt. I've been wanting to make an Irish chain, and it's so simple and quick that here is my chance. 

After I finished it, as I was sewing on the binding, I realized that the colors were similar to a quilt that my paternal grandmother made for me in the 1950's.  That quilt went with me to college, was on my bed for a long while, and welcomed my granddaughter when she moved from the east coast to the Pacific Northwest.  Lots of history here in these two. 

The baby quilt is made of prints, my original pink quilt is solid.  So, here is represented six generations:  From my grandmother to my great, great grand niece!  Makes me smile.
