Circle Quilt and more

 I started this Circle quilt a while ago and finally got it quilted. It is such a simple quilt and I love it. 
 Pink and purple fabric from my stash to frame the circle blocks.
 Scrappy backing.
 Beginning of a scrappy  Disappearing Nine Patch quilt.
 I like to make another Disappearing Four patch quilt, but first I have to get these disappearing nine patches finished.
 Here is another blue, green and yellow Disappearing Nine Patch I am working on.
 I have been quilting beautiful customer tops and like to share a few.
Michelle's yellow baby quilt.
 Pat's Hugs and Kisses quilt.
Cute scrappy backing and label. 
 Sally's Red and Black Moroccan quilt.
The black fabric feels like velvet. 
Happy Quilting until next time,
Millie

Bargello Quilt and a few UFO's

 
I have been working on a few UFO's. I started this scrappy Bargello quilt a couple of years ago. I had a few more strips to cut and piece together, but lost interest in finishing the top.
Not only did I finish the piecing, but the quilting too
I started the next few small projects with one yard of cupcake fabric and three coordinating pieces.  I am making four small quilts for my breakfast room/pantry.
This is the first small quilt I made, the pattern is called Top Hat.
 
I used the red dot fabric for the binding.
 
From the leftover 3" Top Hat strips I made a simple Four Patch quilt.
I used 1" peach strips from my stash for the sashings.
 
I am getting close to using up the last few scraps from these four one yard pieces of fabric. The Rail Fence quilt needs two more white borders. I am not sure how I am going to use the Disappearing Four Patch blocks.
The last project I quilted was a simple baby panel.
I love to buy panels for baby quilts. It is so fast to make and it is a cute gift for any Mommy and her baby/toddler.
Hope you all stay warm and happy quilting,
Millie

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
