Strip piecer show and tell

Last Monday, my guild The Strip Piecers, met for the last time until fall, and we had some fun show and tell. First up, everyone brought their quilt as you go ticker tape squares (inspired by Crazy Mom Quilts) for me. Here's 22 of them. I'm going to sash it with b/w prints in that double-sided qayg method, and then this baby is done. One person forgot her  blocks and I'm probably going to make one more to have 25 for a big throw (60 by 60). The size of the  raw edged bits and pieced sewn on the blocks  varies considerably, but it has a nice overall mosaic effect.

I provided the backing fabric for the blocks, so here's a look at the back, which is made from blues, greens, and aqua prints.

Here's Bonnie with two tops from the blocks she asked us for in September. After much thought, she sashed nine in purple and the pinker ones in a bright green. They're both lovely.

Stephanie  (far right) brought this queen-sized quilt she made for her mother Karen (left) as a gift from her and her sisters. They paid for the fabric, and Stephanie made all those card trick blocks. The letters are paper-pieced, and the whole quilt is tied, and backed with flannel. Both mother and daughter are part of our guild.

Laura brought the bright green, blue and purple blocks for a quilt she's making for her teenaged daughter, inspired by the Kaffe Fassett quilt on the front cover of one of his books (Glorious Patchwork I think).

The last quilt to show  you is  a much loved crib blanket made by Audrey's grandmother 30 years ago for Audrey's first child. The squares are liquid embroidery (anyone remember that stuff) on polycotton, sashed in yellow. Audrey says the front is rippling because the flannel on the back shrank. All her children slept under this.
