I decided to celebrate the back to school season with a few new books, purchased at Copperfield Books a local discount/online store that specializes in quilting books. Their website listed Gwen Marston's Liberated Quiltmaking, which lured me to their store, as well as her Classic Four-Block Applique quilts. But they didn't have LQ in stock, so I consoled myself with looking through what was on the shelves.
The Wells gardening/quilt book spoke to me because I found both Gwen and Freddy Moran in it. here's a peeck at Gwen's quiltand here's Freddy's contributions from the Wells book and the machine quilting book. I can't/don't know how to machine quilt (yet), so I thought some instruction was in order.
Here's a peek at my fungly blocks. I've lost count, but I'm guessing around 110 blocks. I made a second set using those brights from Quilt Pixie pictured in the post below, and then sewed the remaining squares into fungly nine patches. I'm hoping for to make two funglies out of the batch -- one 60 by 80 donation quilt for refugees, and a smaller one from the brights for the local children's hospital.

thought you might have fun with those scraps :-)
I haven't been down to copperfields in ages -- way too tempting once I'm in the door. Looks like you were very restrained
Oh, oh. Another bookstore that I'll just have to visit. My son, the computer guru has bought lots of books there but for some reason I've never been there. I'll remedy that first chance I get.
Just love the fungly blocks.
Good luck with your search for LQ. I really hope you find it. I can't machien quilt either. That's why everything takes soooo long to finish!
Love your funglies. Bright and cheerful
Very fun fungly!
