As promised here’s another quilt by Marty. For this we decided on an E2E design I call Nouveau Feather meander combined with a hook! I love the texture change with this stitching.

I’ve been busy quilting customer quilts and not posting them! So here’s Marty’s Big Camping quilt. It’s much bigger than my hanging space! Even though it’s a big one, I was able to turn the quilt for stitching the borders, but just barely. The borders have separate designs and the center is quilted with two different motifs to change the texture of the quilt along the camping blocks.
The batting is Quilter’s Dream Blend and the thread is Superior Threads So Fine 50. I used a color that matched so well that I couldn’t see it sometimes!
And the back is always fun to look at! For the narrow green border I switched to a dark green thread in the needle and bobbin.
Marty did another big quilt which I will feature in the next post!

Here’s the after washing and drying picture of my homespun Stacked Squares quilt. Yes, I have made several of these quilts. I believe this is the 12th one! Every time I start one of these for myself, I end up giving it away! So, I’ll be starting another one for me. 13 is a lucky number in our house, so I’ll keep that one for me! Maybe!!
Here’s a view before washing and drying. I love how the homespun shrinks up and gets all cuddly and wrinkly. I’m using Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton select batting.
I’m linking up to Such a Sew and Sew: A Stitch in Time… for another March finish. My first finish was a little potholder.

Spoiler Alert to my sister, Patty!
I’m still working on my Trash to Treasure Pineapple quilt but I got sidetracked this week with my sister’s T-shirt quilt. This is one of those projects that keeps getting set aside but now I’m determined to finish this “Loose End”! Patty helped me out this week by eliminating some of the t-shirts and they may end up in a second quilt!
So, I’m off and sewing! Because the t-shirt panels are various sizes, I’m making 4 vertical rows and building the smaller motifs to fit the row width. I love it!!

My design wall is sparse but it’s the beginning of a Trash To Treasure quilt! I’m using the Pineapple Tool by Gyleen X. Fitzgerald and I have the book, too. I’m making the scrappiest version that starts with a red center and every strip is different. I like it! My next blocks will be faster now that I’ve got the “system” figured out and organized by strips! I need about 3 pounds of strips so I’ll be cutting more!
It’s a good thing that Quilting Gallery’s blog hop is going on all week, I still have several letters of the alphabet to complete! Thanks to all those who have visited my blog and entered my giveaway! It’s fun isn’t it?! Some of the commentators have blogs and it’s fun to check them out, too.
Keep hopping and stitchin’ !
