Tops

TOPS –  a “flimsie”, basically finished, may need another border, not yet quilted

Here is a picture of my “wall of shame” or so many tops which have not been quilted.

Vintage Tablecloth as Quilt

5.  This is an old tablecloth that Mom gave me.  It has holes, stains and was crooked as anything, but it was well used and loved.  I squared it up as well as I could, added some borders and now it awaits some quilting inspiration.

Coffee Disappearing Nine Patch

6.  I had left over fabric from a coffee-themed quilt so I tried a disappearing nine-patch.  This top has been changed – the stark white sashing is gone, so here’s the new look.

Cottage Fractions

7. I saw the fractions quilt at a show and thought it was a neat way to use up some scraps.  This one is done with soft “cottage” fabrics.  There is another one in process with brights.

Four Seasons Through My Attic Window

13.  One of these landscapes was done a long time ago at a retreat.  Did some more and put it in the attic window sashing.  Just needs quilting and binding.

Double Nine Patch

14. Double Nine Patch – I can’t remember when I bought the fat quarters or where I found the pattern, but I did find this top in a WIP box.  I may add another border or two, since I have plenty of fabric leftover.

Holiday Mystery Quilt (January 2009)

16. Christmas Mystery Quilt – For Thanksgiving 2008, I traveled to Seattle to visit my two nieces.  One of them, Lizzie,  is learning to sew and quilt and suggested a mystery quilt class.  So, my sister and I agreed to take the class.   My top is done, but the borders and backing still have to be selected.

A Coffee Shop at Every Corner (Jan 2009)

17. A Coffee Shop on Every Corner – While in Seattle I purchased a jelly roll, additional fabric and a pattern.  The fabric was about coffee.  My sister bought the same pattern (Four Square by Cozy Quilts Designs), but different fabric for herself and Lizzie.
