Guild Quilt

My guild quilt is back from my long arm quilter, Juliet, and hanging in my hall.  She did an excellent job and I just love it. 

Guild blocks from May 2001.  Finished quilt August 2014.

Bottom half of the guild quilt.  Overall measures 6 foot square.

This quilt may have taken me 13 years to get it together, but in the end it was well worth the wait. 

 

As you can see I am not the type that has to finish a project before moving on to the next.  I have a couple more UFO's in my pile and would ideally like to finish them by the end of the year. 

 

Some ideas I come up with can be pushed out in a few hours.  Like this one.

Sliding Puzzle Quilt



 

Remember those sliding picture or number puzzles when you were a kid?  I had small end cuts of decorator fabrics in these large funky patterns.  So, I thought why not cut them into squares and move them just far enough away from each other so the mind tells you, "hey these should move closer to make a single picture".  That's how this quilt was born.  It measures 19" square.   

 

I'm off to scour my UFO basket and see what my mind is ready to conquer today.  ;o)
