Then I took all the bits I cut off to make the star and sewed a string quilt, using a few light green strips to unify it. I handquilted it with freehand fans. I haven't figured out a name for it yet -- maybe something like Fractured memories.
I've just returned from my closing reception for my quilt display in a college library. I brought the AAQI quilts, as well as Ecumenical Squares, below, the quilt that's on my bed.
And the librarian loves my Advice from Home, which is still a flimsy, but we hung it up for the afternoon anyway.
I've got all my quilts back and I'm happy to see them at home again. Next project: quilting my Words Fail Me top.

That must have been an awesome quilt showing. I love the 'Advice' quilt too.
I'm glad they made it home safe.
I love the pastels. Are you going to make a quilt for yourself from the same fabrics?
I'm sorry we weren't able to make it to your show. We couldn't even get out of the yard for most of the week. Great use of the pastel scraps.
fun to see the leftovers become quilts and then those leftovers also get used. great quilts
I love coming here to see what you have done. I really like the blks you have made for the alzheimer's projects, they just are so...... true to their meaning.
And I am considering doing a word hanging..... you are an insperation!! And I would have loved to have seen your quilts when they were in the library!! Loved that! But I am glad they are home again.
What a good idea, using the cut-aways. I like the star very much, as I'm so inclined to use bright colors.
love the two little quilts - the hand quilting really makes them sing. so glad the reception was a success, but too bad there was too much snow. What a relief to have the quilts safely home.
