Anniversary gift

I put together this small gift as an anniversary present to my parents. I used one FQ of each color, and the finished quilt measured about 24″ square. The picture doesn’t show it, but it was finished with a chocolate-brown binding.

Bright Boxes

This was my first foray into the world of paper-piecing, and I think it turned out very well! Having lots of scraps made the fabric-selection process easier than it could have been!

The pattern, “stacked boxes,” came from eQuilt Patterns. I really like the site because you can buy PDF files of the patterns and print them straight onto foundation paper, which makes the piecing go much faster!

Irish Chain

This was my first project after leaving for graduate school. With my then-fiancé (now-husband) a thousand miles away while he finished his BS, I had plenty of spare time to occupy myself behind the sewing machine!
