Spin Cycle

MaxNTopeka — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:36:51 GMT

FInally got Spin Cycle quilted and bound! Tried quilting in a spiral for the first time. Learned a lot and will use spiral quilting again. Also tried gluing the binding to keep in in place while machine stitching it. Very happy with the result, and the glue washed right out. Finished size after washing: 43 X 49 inches. The sixteen 5 inch square blocks were improvisational pieced using scraps of solid colors. Additional scraps were used for the border. This lap quilt will be donated to the Alzheimer's Diease Cooperative Study, UCLA-San Diego.

This pattern was shared June 2006 on pattilousquilts blogspot.

Find the Tiger lap quilt

MaxNTopeka — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 23:15:37 GMT

Find the Tiger lap quilt, has just a few tiger-stripe patches in it. Finished at 42 X 42 inches. Batik fabrics used front and back. This was a stack-n-whack that had a few issues, so some patches were switched out for other fabric from a different quilt that was being cut out at the same time.

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.
