Big and small finishes

I've got two Friday finishes to celebrate this week.

This colour-blocked one was pieced by my mother

based on the Turning Twenty pattern by Tricia Cribbs.

I added various free motion designs

in coordinating colours in each of the blocks.

My goal was to add lots of texture and interest to this quilt

and I'm happy with how it turned out.

My mom put it in her local show last week

and she reports lots of good comments.

Turns out she made two 60 by 80 inch tops

with hand dyed fabrics and batiks

and I quilted both of them.

I'm just binding the other one

and I'm putting it in a local show at the end of the month.

This 42 inch square baby quilt has been on the finishing pile for months.

I pieced it from the leftover parts of this Grecian Cross quilt

made for my niece last year.

Since I cut up scraps for this one,

I had HSTs and strips left

so I put them together in this heart quilt.

Unlike the bigger quilt, this one has lots of fmq.

I put in feathers and fleur-de-lis in the borders and background

and pumpkin seed quilting in the heart.

I used up all of this Kaffe floating flower print

with an insert of purple Kona to get it big enough.
