Scrambled Eggs Lap Quilt

MaxNTopeka — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 19:50:58 GMT

Scrambled Eggs started out being named Easter Eggs....but an 'oops!' occurred and the name changed. Lap quilt finished at 49 X 57 inches. Used irregularly spaced wavey lines to quilt.

July Scrappy Lap Quilt

MaxNTopeka — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 19:43:22 GMT

Finished quilt 49 X 49 inches. Inspired by Nana's July 2012 Scrappy Quilt Project. I was so happy with the looks at the end of the first step I quit and sewed the blocks together. Used a diamond pattern to quilt, using purple variated thread.

Second June Scrappy Lap Quilt Back

MaxNTopeka — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 08:34:36 GMT

Finished the second lap quilt made for Nana's June 2012 Scrappy Quilt Project. Instead of paper-pieced hearts, I inserted three wonky stars into the top. For the borders I used some of the same fabrics that were in the top. The binding was also pieced together from left-over scraps. Used a fabric with old pickup trucks on the back, and bordered it using the colors from the trucks. Quilted with a simple diagonal straight-line pattern. Finished at 52 inches square. Will be donated, along with the other scrapply lap quilt made in June, to the Alzheimer's Research Project.

Baby Dragon Eyes

MaxNTopeka — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:22:01 GMT

This is a second lap top quilt made from extra blocks left over from making Dragon Eyes. The colors are lighter and brighter than many of the colors used in Dragon Eyes, so I've named this one Baby Dragon Eyes. The top finished at 48 X 38 inches. This will also be a donation quilt.

Dragon Eyes Lap Quilt

MaxNTopeka — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:15:38 GMT

This is a lap quilt I named Dragon Eyes. Finished top size (without binding) is 42 X 42. First time I've used cornerstones in a border. Kind of like the effect and will probably use it again. This will be a donation quilt tagged for a male alzheimers patient. Planning on using a black/red swirling pattern called Fingerpaints for the backing.

Crosses lap quilt

MaxNTopeka — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 05:51:27 GMT

A small lap quilt, about 40 X 40 inches, in a pattern called Crosses. This one used up lots of scraps! And I had to keep track of what I was doing when sewing rows together. I will probably do this pattern again since I like the way it turned out. Will be a donation quilt for a man in a health care center.
