solids on prints: classics: churn dash, shoo-fly, framed nine-patch

Churn dash, 2015

Churn dash, detail, block finishes 9 inches

Shoofly, 2016

Shoofly, block finishes 7 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches

Framed Nine-patch, 2016

Framed Nine-patch detail, block finishes 7 1/2 inches

I group these three early in the series quilts as Classic blocks. Churn dash was the second and Shoofly the third. Framed Nine-patch was a few later.
Shoofly is not made in the traditional way, rather with a float method using flipped corners.

Patience Corner Sampler, 2020

Tememcula Quilts had a sew-a-long in 2018:

Her delightful quilt lead to this one. I followed along for a few blocks then started making whatever came to mind. The little blocks finish at 4 inches.

I explain my patience corner set here:

I plan to hang it in my sewing nook once I can convince anyone to climb a ladder.

solids on prints: stars: friendship star, evening star

Star, 2018

Star, detail, block finishes 9 inches

Evening Star, 2019

Evening Star, detail, block finishes 12 inches

I kept the centers of these stars open to have a lighter feel to the blocks.
We don't see many stars in the city, something I miss from growing up on the farm.

solids on prints: objects: ship, barn, basket

Seth helped me figure out a good space to photograph my finished quilts. This will be an ongoing project. I am grouping by how I organize them in my head.

This first batch is of objects and starts with ...and All Ships at Sea, the first quilt in this series. It was made along with the delightful cspoonquilts sew-a-long based on a vintage quilt that Barbara Brackman posted.

Second is Barn, designed to commemorate the barns on our farm.

Basket celebrates my mother's flower and vegetable gardens and orchards.
