A whole year

Ha!  It's been a YEAR since my last post.  I vow to post more - really because it helps me focus on what I'm doing and document my decision-making.  This is what I've been doing...

At our holiday party in December, we had another quilt block race! We made this philanthropy quilt top in less than an hour!
  

The last Mickey class of the year     A workshop with David Taylor
         

In summer, several of us went on a road trip to a wonderful modern quilt shop in Temecula.  I got lots of fabric and the kit to make this table topper.
   

Our friendship group made this butterfly quilt to be auctioned at the guild show last summer.
I entered this spring flowers quilt in the show also.



Our group made friendship quilts using blocks we exchanged with our name and a quilty quote.


I've been focused on emptying my orphan blocks box.

I made these 16-patches from Wanda Hanson's blog post a few years ago.  Mickey suggested alternating the blocks with plain blocks and setting them on point.  Here is a mockup on my design wall:


These hand-appliqued blocks were made as part Mickey's class many years ago.  I didn't finish all the blocks for the quilt and didn't know what to do with these.  I like them for a table runner, and I'll sash and border it with the speckled fabric.



These two blocks were part of a Becky Goldsmith quilt class.  I didn't finish the rest of the blocks, so I sashed these and made a small hanging.


The 3D flowers were made in Mickey's class.  I found the perfect fabric for binding - I hope there is enough!


and here is our neighborhood egret!  I love the shadow!


Hopefully I will continue to post...
