Quilt projects

Ok, I've tried 4 times to get all the photos to post, but they won't, so I guess just these two will have to. I'll try the others another day. :)

I just thought I would share some of my quilt projects that I've been working on lately. The first quilt is a "Bug Jar" quilt. You take fabrics that have all different kinds of bugs, and then piece them to look like jars sitting on a shelf. Its really fun to make. I'm planning one now that is food jars, so I'm gathering fabrics that have food on them so it will look like a pantry of "canned" food.

The next picture if just my cat sitting on a quilt that I was working on. It is a triangle quilt, called 1000 pyramids, or confetti.

The blue and grey quilt is one that I made for charity, to give to foster kids. I finished it up the other day at a church humanitarian work day.

The other quilt, on the bed is my quilt that I started when I was 16. Mom finished up the hand sewing work for me on the back side while I was on my mission last year. It's on my bed now.

I really enjoy making "scrappy" quilts, its fun to look through the fabric we have, or to pick up bits and pieces at the store and see what I can make with them. So you can see a little bit of what I've been quilting. The project I'm getting ready to finish is called "bits and pieces" and it has a black background with really bright fabrics with it. I've got the top of it done, all I need to do it get the batting and backing, and quilt it. What I'd dearly love to get is a long arm quilting machine, so that it would be a lot easier to do my quilting, but that is probably a long way in the future. It's in my plans though. :) Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the pictures! We love you. Alicia
