Quilt no 33: All My Hearts Are Rainbows
10.5" square
I got a scrap bag full of hand dyed fabrics from Ricky Tims & couldn't resist the rainbow colors.
First I made the rainbow strata, then sliced it & turned those narrow pieces in the opposite direction. When I realized that the green would make a solid stripe across, I decided to stagger the seams a bit. A big PLUS in doing that - no seams to match up! I drew the concentric hearts for the quilting onto printer paper & pinned it to the quilt, then stitched right through it. I've enjoyed looking at it sitting here in my house - almost decided to keep it for myself!

Quilt no 32: Feeling Blue
14" square
The quilt has a pieced background of multiple blue fabrics, overlaid with snippets of blue/orange ribbon & blue/turquoise synthetic yarns and covered with a medium blue rayon.
Cotton batting & backing. Hanging pockets on the back.
Still more to come!
Just wanted to say, I have at least 5 more quilts to post (maybe another one coming in, or who knows, several - after all, the 11th isn't over in some parts of the world!) - so don't rush to make a list just yet. Although my toothache is much better today (a big thank you to those who wished me well) it's still late and although I'm a night owl by nature, I really do need to get some sleep, as I have to work tomorrow... Hope to get the rest of the photos up tomorrow night, and then instructions about What To Do Next.
