Here's a pinwheel quilt that I did for charity. It too is made from scraps. It is machine quilted.

Fishes and Loaves

Linda — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 18:22:44 GMT

Also known as 2-1/2 x 4-1/2. I just cut and cut and cut. I guess that's why it's called Fishes and Loaves. You never run out of pieces, no matter how hard you try! You can lay the blocks out in so many different ways and no 2 quilts look the same. You can make the quilts any size you want. Good use of scraps. I've machine quilted and I've tied. Children and grown-ups alike love these quilts. They look at all the different fabrics and always can pick out something that reminds them of something else. It's cool to see their eyes light up.

Lil' Cowboys

Here is another quilt I had the priviledge to make for our Women in Missions convention. It was also donated to the local pregnancy crisis center at the end of the convention. It is machine quilted. The blocks are 9 patch and snowball.

Moose on the Loose

Linda — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 17:53:52 GMT

I made this quilt for one of my brothers after my accident when I got home from rehab. It is made from homespuns and a whole lot of men's shirts. Since I didn't have the recommended triangle ruler, I made a template from the one printed in the magazine. By the time I finished this quilt, I thought I'd never do another triangle again!! The reason I called it "Moose on the Loose" is because the fabric on the back is a plaid with a moose in the center of each square. I cut one moose out and sewed on the front of the quilt. If you look real close, you might find him. Since then I have done several quilts that have triangles in them, but I have a ruler or two now.

Sheila's Girls

Linda — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 17:09:05 GMT

This is a special quilt for a special friend. I had traced the hand prints of my friend's daughter and granddaughters and finally had to ask her for her hand print. I told her to ask no questions, but she would find out later. This quilt was the result. At the base of each hand print is a heart with their name and birthdate in machine embroidery. On the back, the label is my hand print. The quilt is machine applique and machine quilted. The fabrics reflects some of my friend's hobbies...fossils, collecting geckos, and her favorite colors.

OSU Buckeyes

My son wanted an OSU Buckeyes quilt for his 3rd son, so I created this quilt. There is machine applique as well as machine embroidery. The quilt is machine quilted. I've also made this as a wall hanging for a friend.

Scrappy Oopsie Daisy

Linda — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 16:11:35 GMT

This is an excellent pattern for using up scraps. I hand quilted this quilt. If I ever make it again, I will machine quilt. My fingers are still healing! I must say, however, I love the quilt!

Ohio Star Wall Hanging

Linda — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 15:44:17 GMT

Another Fons and Porter pattern called Ohio Star. This one I made for my best friend while I stayed at her home for a summer before moving back from Arizona. We matched the fabrics to the furniture in her family room. It is machine pieced, but I hand quilted. That summer I got my friend hooked on quilting. I created a monster!!!

Fun Quilts for Kids (Summer 2007) pattern that was featured in the magazine with pirate fabric. However, grandson Noel likes Spiderman. It has a lot of rotary cut pieces that are chain pieced. The quilt is machine quilted. And Noel loves his quilt!

Mila's Fishes and Loaves

Linda — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 15:04:14 GMT

This pattern is known as Fishes and Loaves (also as 2-1/2 x 4-1/2). It a great pattern for using up scraps. It's one of my favorites for charity quilts. For this particular quilt I had four fabrics and just couldn't think of of another quilt pattern to use. Besides I needed to make it quick. And there are so many ways you can lay out the blocks. Mila is one of my youngest grand-daughters and is a little cutie.

Fall Sunflowers

Linda — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 14:50:35 GMT

This wall quilt hangs in my dining room. It is made from a jelly roll. The sunflowers are made from muslin and are just machine stitched on. The leaves are a leaf print also machine stitched on. The quilt is machine quilted with the exception of the outer border, which is hand quilted using a leaf vine stencil stitched in red.

Cobblestones

Linda — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 11:12:01 GMT

The pattern is called Cobblestones and is very easy to make. It is all rotary cutting and chain piecing. If you need a quilt fast, this is the pattern to use. I quilted this on the machine using stitch in the ditch method and it was done in no time.
