WILD AND GOOSEY

 This is a Bonnie Hunter pattern that is paper pieced.  So many little pieces!  But I love using them up.  I had the grey and black solids in my stash, so didn't need to purchase anything.  Even had the backing just waiting for the right quilt.  I'ts 69 x 69

APPALACHIAN AUTUMN

Parts of this is foundation pieced, along with lots of half square triangles,  by Bonnie Hunter.  It's 56 x 56.  I didn't do this right away thinking I didn't have much orange in my stash.  But once I started digging, I had more than enough.  I added some veins in the leaves with my quilting.

Tanya's Wall Hanging

Tanya paper-pieced this wall-hanging to give to her daughter.  They always go to visit her during Easter, so it  has a definite Easter theme.  It's 26 x 29.

I did a stitch-in-the-ditch around each block and each element so make them standout, then did a dense fill around each to really make them pop.

Then I added a lot of detail:

pads of the feet of the bunny, and ridges on the carrot

accent lines on the wings and dress of the garden angel

A crack in the egg, ridges on the carrot, and petals for the flower

shingles on the roof, and curtains in the windows :)

I put feathers in the two borders to create some movement around the quilt:

The backing is the same dark blue as the outer border, and really shows off all the quilting:
