Recent quilt stuff I have been working on......

Well.....I haven't accomplished a lot lately, but I did finally finish a few little projects.

These two tops are to donate to our quilt guild for service projects....wherever they want to donate them.  Someone else will sandwich them and quilt them, and other volunteers with bind the edges.   

The blue one still needs a border, but I didn't have anything in my stash that looked good.  Someone else is going to add a border to it.  I have been making the 4-patches from a stack of 6" squares that I cut up out of my stash and scraps to make scrappy quilts of one type or another.  I like doing scrappy projects.  I have enough of these 4-patches to either make two more small quilts or one large one. 

 I finally finished my little wall hanging that I call "My Happy Hexie Scrap Garden".  I was trying to take a photo of it outside without much real success.  The light was all wrong.   Just nowhere good to pose it at the moment.  Those orange lilies are about all I have blooming and I was having trouble getting my "assistant" to understand how I wanted it posed :-)

 Close-ups of some of the hexie flowers.  I had a lot of fun with this.....using scraps from other quilts I have made and doing a bit of hand sewing and embellishment on some of them.  I like handwork of this sort and making the hexies (English paper-piecing method) is relaxing while I watch baseball on TV or anything else that doesn't require my complete concentration.

Occasionally I tried to fussy cut a center hexie....bear, butterflies, rabbit, Mad Hatter's hat, etc. 

This is NOT where this will end up hanging, but I was having trouble finding somewhere to photograph it, so I stuck it on two of the nails that hold our Christmas stockings! 

 It will hang in our bedroom where I can see the colorful flowers when I wake up and smile at them.  I like colorful quilts as you can tell from most of my work. 

 I just love looking at all the beautiful fabrics that are available to make stuff from, and projects like this lets me indulge my desire to see a lot of favorite fabrics in one quilted piece.
