Split Rail in a larger version, I've seen it called other things.... from my stash of blues, using up some leftovers, a nice addition to my living room. This pattern was a tablecloth for a round table I saw in a magazine and adapted it to use as a lap quilt.

Tall Tails or Braid, I've seen many names for this one. I actually "invented" my own way to create this look which was much easier than the directions in the book "Laps from Fats". These are whimsical kid prints collected from scraps and donations. A great way to use up strips or even split rail blocks left over from other quilts.

This quilt was made for a new baby boy of a customer of ours. They weren't able to have kids so adopted a sweet little girl from China.....who also got a quilt.....and then....as those things happen....they have had a lovely boy. It all needed celebrating for sure!

Not sure why the top photo has a yellow cast, this one is more true to color.

Chasing the Winter blues! I just had to do something to bring some sunshine into my livingroom so I pulled out the tulip remnant and flipped through my collection of magazines to find this pattern..Sunny Days. (go to quiltmag.com to find the pattern!) I'm still working on quilting it by hand. In the meantime, it's doing it's job of brightening the corner of my livingroom!

This pillow is made from a couple of leftover squares that I sent off to my friend to do the same for her.

Molly loves her quilt! It was a late present for turning 5 and getting her own bed after sharing.

I had worked on this one by laying it out on the guest bed. Molly went up to check out her quilt spread on the bed and didn't come down.....and this is why. She loved it so much she curled up and fell asleep.

. It's a Trip around the World pattern. The border and backing fabric are on the bed next to her.

Large Flannel squares and rectrangles, this fabric was given to me by the Fabric Fairy so I made it up and donated it to the fundraiser for the adoption expenses for Wisley.

The photo at left is a closeup of the quilting done by a lady in Bethel. Wish I could afford to get all of my quilts done!

Snails Tail is the name of this pattern. I saw it on the website Aboutquilts.com in beige and brown but thought that any contrast would be good and I think it is! This one is for our latest grandbaby Eliot who delights us like all the rest!

This one is a bit tricky because of the odd measurements of triangles but it wasn't too tedious. I decided to do the borders to flow into the swirls rather than box it in.

Crows Fence....renamed One in Every Crowd. This one is from the book named "Laps from Fats" officially called Crows Fence but it named itself One in Every Crowd because of the different corners. This was a graduation gift for my nephew, not sure if he ever got one of Aunties Quilts so now he does.

Notice the corners don't match, hence the name.
