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.

Moose on the Loose

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.

Scrappy Oopsie Daisy

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!

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!
