Potato Chips Blocks

 This is a new top for Sleep In Heavenly Peace. I have made all the 30- 12 inches blocks and now the fun begin. To sew them all in a top.

BOM 2025 so far

Just trying to figure out a different applique block for this quilt using a bird in place of the flowers designed by the pattern designer. 

May 2025 BOM baskets

The month of May assignment for The Quilt Show BOM is completed. I made all 20 baskets. Now I need to work on the February blocks. The 6 ones shown here are part of it. I have cut all pieces and now I have to finish to hand applique them to the background and finally trim to size. 

MFA QUILTS ON DISPLAY

The Houston Fine Arts Museum always have a beautiful quilt on display. This one is outstanding like all the others.

It never gets old.

 It is such a privilege to walk these historic sites. 

It represents the best of our history.

The Raven Blocks

 Blackbird Designs has reprinted the book with the patterns for "The Raven" Quilt. I always loved this quilt and since the book is again available I could not resist another "start".

I am using fabrics from my collection so far. But I will add some more blacks since I don't have enough. These blocks are 20 inches, so the birds are big fellows. 

What a shame, I have to buy fabrics. LOL.

I will prepare a few more blocks for my needle turn applique. I will wait to decide on some of the colors for things like berries, stars, etc.

Bellow are blocks 1 and 2 with possible pieces just pinned on the background.
