I haven't had many posts lately. I have one quilt completed and given away as an 80th birthday present a few weeks ago. This is a double Irish Chain made out of my blue "scraps" and stash. It is quilted with a Celtic Knot in the open spaces by my friend, Beth. The back has lighthouses on it-which my Irish friend Mary collects.
She was so thrilled. She told me she would cherish it the rest of her life-that's the nicest comment I have received when I have given a quilt away.
My actual design wall contains an almost finished mystery quilt from the MysteryQuilts4Military yahoo group. This is the third mystery I have made with this group. This on is called Glint. It is the most complex one I have made with them so far. I will be working on the pieced border later today and hope to finish the top.
The red is a constant and a new fabric that I acquired for backing. It is 108" wide and I had a 40% off coupon and it was an additional 20% off because it was the end of a bolt. It was a great buy. All the background and blue fabrics are from my stash/scraps. Some of the blue squares I used for the HST's were 3" millennium swap squares that I purchased earlier this year on Quilters Flea Market.
Check out the other design walls At Patchwork Times.
Merry Christmas to you all.
