Mystery Quilt In Progress

A Mystery Quilt In Progress - joined a group of my friends - to follow directions and complete a quilt, one step at a time, that will be made with Civil War or 1800's fabrics.  
Here's step number one... LOADS of little blocks!  Thirty six a mixture of different reds and different beige backgrounds.

The border of this section was a left over piece of fabric from the Underground Railroad Quilt I made for a library display.  The blocks weren't difficult but squaring up the blocks seemed to take forever. This step is 15"X 15".

STEP # 2 COMPLETED

The next step in the mystery quilt was made of nine patches! Each square in the nine patch is 1.5" square.  After stretching my brain, directions confused me,  I decided it would work easily if I cut 3 dark pieces 1.5" X 5.5" and three light pieces 1.5" X 5.5"  After sewing dark/light/dark and light/dark/light I would cut each section into 1.5" strips.   Forty nine patches each measuring  3.5". 

Here's the second step!  Yeah!    Of course all my friends are on step five, Yikes! But I'm at an advantage.   I see all the steps that they have completed.  There really is a method to my madness!

I already know what's next HA!  Watch for the next step.

Kitten Quilt

This pink, scrap quilt is for a new kitten "Khaleesi",  owned by my daughter.  I searched for the bag of pink left overs to make the disappearing nine patch small quilt.  Amazing that there are so many shades of pink.     

I did the free motion quilting with light pink thread.  I stitched hearts and some have echoed hearts.  Linda loves pink and hearts.  Can't wait to see that cute kitten sitting on the quilt.

Here she is, just too cute!

Prayer Quilts

Two completed Prayer Quilts that will be tied and delivered in the coming week!
This crayon colored quilt is for Aidan. He was born 9/16/2005. Aidan was diagnosed with a terminal tumor on his spine in Sept. They did radiation and now started Chemotherapy. He is now paralyzed.

The quilt is made with 2.5" squares, all of which were found in the scrap drawer.  The back is just so boy!  It's a solar system type print. The black borders make the colored squares pop!

The second quilt, is for a Fred who is wheelchair bound with MS.  Fred is such a faithful Christian who struggles with this illness but has a wonderful attitude.

This quilt is a nine patch that has been skewed after the nine patch was sewn together.  The saw tooth border enhances the quilt.  The corners came out without planning.  Sometimes good things happen!

Praying for both Aidan and Fred!
