I got some quilts back from the machinist a few weeks ago and rather rapidly got the binding on (we were re-watching Season 5 of Better Call Saul in anticipation of Season 6 to begin soon). But the weather has been uncooperative and unpredictable and we didn't have the right opportunity for photographs until today.
The pattern for this first one is Kristy Daum's "Mazed," and it is a pattern I've made over and over and over, from baby-size to queen-size. And, of course, it is different every time.
I'm prolly not done making Mazed quilts.
This little baby quilt started when I unearthed a whole bunch of Nines that Ruth had made and apparently didn't know what to do with and so she gave them to Bonnie or maybe to Helen and it turned out that Bonnie/Helen didn't know what to do with them and somehow they ended up with me. I'd forgotten I had them until I did an inspection of my orphanage and there they were.
I had a whole lot of that purple left over from the backing for a charity quilt last summer and I thought it would do nicely for an alternate to the Nines. I was right.
And this here's Wensleydale One (yup, there will be a second because I bought a pad of paper-piecing templates), which I hand pieced in front of the Netflix back in the autumn. I know I posted my progress as I went along, but today I got to photograph the whole quilt.
My friend Sharon came to visit in March and she liked it so much that she wanted to buy it. I'm not ready to part with it (yet), so I gave her all of the left-over fabrics (there were pretty many) and taught her my method of paper piecing so she can make her own. I wonder how that's going . . . .
Here are close-ups of some of the more, erm, "interesting" blocks:

I have a son and DIL who would love the skeleton and arsenic fabrics and they're old enough that I suspect they'll never outgrow it.
Hugs!
