Black and white challenge





I have designed a black and white quilt with a hint of red for my daughters college days.
It is in the to be quilted pile.
I have started working on some accessories like these four throw pillow covers.
I am in need of a pattern for some pillow shams. I had one but for the life of me I cannot find it so if anyone knows of a tutorial please let me know.
These blocks were the ones I requested from a recent block swap.
I am so pleased with them. I had enough to even make her a runner.
I have to make a few blocks myself because she needs a topper for her end table so I have already started making some which gives me piecing practice.

Annie's Choice

I've had 12 black, white and red Annie's Choice blocks in my closet for over a year. I finally decided on a layout and have started stitching. I still need to find the right red for this quilt. I'll post pictures of the block columns once they are pieced.

I'm looking forward to having an old UFO finished!

Cutting It Out

Just finished cutting out my "lights". Starting on the "darks" after dinner. I may actually be able to get this thing pieced before summer time!

Trellis Roses




I finally finished one of my challenge quilts that I've had in mind for several months. I named the quilt, which measures 54" x 74" without borders at this time, "Trellis Roses." There were two designs that I couldn't decide on so some of my blogger friends helped my out. See my blog to get the low-down. I'm really pleased with this quilt and plan on making one more before it's all said and done.
