  • Nuclei Quilt Revisited

    Nuclei Quilt Revisited

    WOW! This quilt was made by Sue in the Friday class from the green swap we did in March. The pattern is called Nuclei and this version is fabulous. Look at the border fabric and how it has many shades of green. It is the perfect border for a swap quilt with lots of green fabrics. The multiple values in the border compliment all the different values of the swap fabrics. And all that white lets each fabric shine as part of a wonderful whole.

    Tisket Tasket Basket: A Swap/Scrap Quilt

    Yellow can be a difficult color to work with. It can take over the whole design but this quilt incorporates lots of yellow and is going to really shine!

    Little Boys’ Toys Doll Quilt / Table Runner / Wall Hanging

    I suppose it is the hubbub leading up to the commemoration of the hundredth anniversary of sinking of RMS Titanic that brought about this fun little quilt design.

    The Ventura 100 Doll Quilt

    This is just FUN!
    We had a roaring good time when we raced up to Ventura for our quilting retreat. I saw this antique quilt in a vignette at Roxanne’s Quilt Shop in Carpinteria and thought what a cute doll quilt it would make.

  • Rockin Roll Jelly Roll Complete Quilt

    Rockin Roll Jelly Roll Complete Quilt

     

    We began 2012 with this easy Rail Fence Variation quilt that can be made easily and with a Jelly Roll or Bali Pop.
    The contrasting rail adds an extra design element and using the precut strips eliminates a lot of work.  This is a perfect pattern for a novice quilter.

  • Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas

     

    We love to do Fabric Swaps in our NOCCCS-SCE-OAP classes.  We choose a theme then a square size and a date.  For these swaps in 2010 and 2011, we swapped 40 each 10″ squares.  These patterns are all based on a fabric collection like that.
