Quilt of the day.....

Whew!!  Trying to get back into the swing of things.  Life just gets way too busy sometimes.  So a short post for today to share this great quilt.

Edith is my quilter of the day, this wonderful quilt made it's way to me from the great state of Washington!   Those west coast ladies sure know how to put some great quilts together.  Here's a shot of Edith's quilt....


Don't  you just love the circles, and the oriental print is fantastic!!






I used a great design by Anne Bright, she is my all time favorite designer.  This pattern is called Syringa Paradise and I think it matches the print perfectly!





 The moment I saw the fabric I knew this was the design to use! I absolute love this one, the colors are just right for me, love the blues!!

that's it for today,
thanks for checking on me,

Quilter of the day...

These two great quilts come all the way from the state of Washington!!  

Dorothy did a great job with this green log cabin with the rose centers.  Definitely some fussy cutting for this little quilt!  Looks great! 


Stitched out a simple swirl design on this one....


Got scraps?  Here's a fantastic way to use them up!  This is one of my favorite 
way to use them!  

 
We used a wonderful design from Anne Bright, it's called Cypress.  
Here's a close up....


Well, that's it for today,

Quilter of the day...

Our quilt today was made by Chris, and it's another one of those wrap me up in a soft snuggly quilt.  The colors add to the warmth of this quilt.  Chris threw in a couple of fun little blocks to add a just a little extra color.  Here's the quilt....


q I believe this was a quick and easy quilt using 4" x 6" rectangles to construct a simple 12" block.  Could be a great weekend project if you are looking for one!


Use Anne Bright edge to edge Leaves, which is a perfect design for 
a manly quilt.


That's it for today, hope you are having a wonderful day filled with lots of springtime weather!
