Rag quilt

I made this this past winter but forgot to get a photo.  It was donated to our guild's charity, and I finally managed to track it down and get a photo.  It's a rag quilt - blocks are quilted before assembly, the seams are snipped every 1/4 inch.  Fabrics are the same on both sides.  Then the whole thing goes through the washer and dryer which frays the edges to make it soft.  It's 36 x 48.

String quilt for charity

 This is a quilt I made for the charity that my guild supports - CASA - comfort quilts for children taken from their homes for various reasons.  It is Bonnie Hunter's String-X pattern, found here.  I used up tons of strings, and it seems like I hardly made a dent in my bin!  The entire quilt was made from stash - the backing is a donation from a friend's mom.  I quilted a floral/hook pattern in the open spaces, and lines or hooks in the string sections.  It's 52 x 66.

Maddisen's T-shirts

Theses are Maddisen's high school memories.  The sashings and border are black with white dots.  the cornerstones and backing are purple with swirls.  So I quilted it with swirls using black thread in the sashings, and a simple meander in the shirts using white thread.  It's 77 x 91.

Molly's Pillowcase

I made this quilt for Molly in 2009.  She's decided that she needs to have a "study pillow" to take to college with her.  She has some extra shirts.  So I used fleece to match the quilt, put two shirts on each side and a zipper on the end.  She can put a king size pillow in it and use it to lean against while studying.  Totally her idea!!  It's 23 x 41.
