Disappearing Four patch quilt

 The cold weather is perfect for quilting and hand sewing. My oldest daughter wanted to make a quilt for her grandmother. She made this Disappearing Nine patch in 1930's reproduction fabric. The picture below on the left side is my quilt (more picture over here and here) and on the right side is her quilt. I cut her four patch blocks in bigger strips. We used the same quilting pattern on both quilts.
Below is more pictures of my daughter's quilt. I am sure my mom is going to love her quilt.
 Pink backing with a blue and pink binding.
Another picture with my washed quilt on the left and her unwashed quilt on the right. I love my quilts washed and wrinkled.
 I love my 1930's reproduction fabric. I have this one quilted and need to do the binding.
I am working on my zig-zag quilt's binding. I used some purple left over backing for the binding.
Thanks for stopping by and happy quilting. Do you have a special quilt project you are working on? I am currently working on a pink, purple, and green string quilt.

String Quilts again

I am done with the quilting on my enormous king size red, white, and blue string quilt. The binding will keep me busy for a very long time.
 The next two quilts I quilted were pieced by Kim for her first granddaughter.
 
Blue soft minkee fabric for the backing.
This is the second baby quilt with her initial "L".

I quilted this circle quilt for Angie. I like the random hand sewn circles on the quilt.


 Marinell's red and white quilt.
The red and white backing is perfect for this quilt.
Another quilt I quilted. It is a modern twist on a traditional pattern.

 I finished the binding on the blue string quilt and the 1930's Disappearing Four Patch.
 I have the blue string quilt at the bottom of my bed.
 A Roman Stripe String quilt is on my bed.
 String quilt is soft and crinkled after the first wash.
 Washed 1930's quilt.

 Three yo-yo's in the corner to cover up a mistake. 
I cut into the border while squaring up the quilt up. Oops!
 Happy Quilting,
Millie
