Bulldog quilts

Had some black and white bone print fabric, and since my school colors are blue and black, I thought these would make nice gifts. For somebody, at some point! Two different borders.

Rows


snowball nine patch

Again, the pink and purple fabric from a friend. I was one block short of the flowered fabric, hence the striped!

Streak of Lightning

This used up a lot of 2" squares, and the white fabric has little pink cats on it.

Baker's dozen

This was a quilt that my daughter looked at and said "That doesn't look like your work!" It's all too matchy, she said! I liked the fabric with "Organic" and "recycle" on it, but it was such a large print that I couldn't cut it up much. There are 4" blocks and 2" sashing.

Monkey Wrench

It's true that better quality fabric goes together more easily. These triangles are some of the most precise I have done.

Garden trellis

Ended up liking this one a lot. I had bought about three yards of the dandelion fabric twenty years ago, but this is about the last of it. The border was fabric I had gotten to make pillowcases, but never did.


Cupcakes and chocolate


Pinwheels

This fabric was so busy that a simple pattern seemed best. I had a friend who gave me a lot of pink and purple fabrics, which I don't use much in quilts, so I've been trying to make a lot of crib quilts with them.

The squares are 6".
