Hexie's by Sue
Sue's daughter in law is expecting the first grandchild on Sue's side of the family. How exciting! She hand pieced all of these little hexagons together. They measure just 1.5" across the straight edge. Quilted with an edge to edge design called "Chantilly Lace", and the bias edges were all left intact. Hence the "wiggles" on the outside edges.
Ombre Stars by Kathy Y
This is the first of four quilt that Kathy dropped off. All the prints are an Ombre fabric that fades from dark to light, and all the same fabric line with the gold "drops" across it. Quilted with a stars panto, and a thread that matches the gold in the fabric. Perfect!
Dresden Fans by Laurel
SID down each fan blade, and then daisy and leaf meander in the background. So pretty!
"Quackers" by me
Churn Dash dog quilt by Pam
Clearly, someone in her life is a dog lover, as the entire quilt is made up of several dog prints asthe focal fabric. Then black and white dog paw prints for the cornerstones. Quilted with the "Paw Prints" panto and white thread to complete the look. So sweet!

This is a small wall hanging made by Pat for a friend who served in our military, specifically in Afghanistan. Thank you sir for your service.
Quilted with "Victory Salute" panto
"Make it do" by me
While piecing this and 2 other larger quilt tops from these fabrics, I had a really creative name for the series. That's since been forgotten however. So, this shall be known as "Make it do." Not much of a fan of flannel, but when you make jammies and robes for your family members, you end up with scraps. Too "thrifty" to just throw them away, so I keep them for years first. Finally cut them into 2 different sizes of squares and just started to stitch them together. The blue strip on the right side is because I had made the top, then the next morning found several more squares of blue. As stated above, too thrifty to throw them away so I just added another strip to the side. It's for a police officer to give away.
And since I am so thrifty, the backing and batting are leftovers from a previous quilt of mine, and the binding are all scraps in shades of brown from the "binding bag".
So far, it's taking me longer to find an officer to give it to than it did to make all 3 quilt tops in the collection. Oh well, I"ll find them!

Mer-Man and Quilt Soup by Michael
Michael calls this one "quilt soup:". Another of his scrappy quilts with leftover blocks, like the whale, or sometimes just random pieces of fabric, like the one one the right. The red is a prequilted fabric that he used for tote bags, and then the amazing NY Beauty portion next to it.
