I Usually Make Symmetrical Quilts

Most of my quilts fit into the symmetrical category. 

This month I dug into my orphan blocks and parts and made a few asymmetrical tops just for fun. 

There may be more but for now it is back to my regularly scheduled symmetrical quilts.

Out Of The Orphanage And Into A Quilt

 

Crumby Hourglasses

The Hourglass prompt prompted me to try out some Crumby Hourglass blocks. 

They are about 11 inches unfinished. 

They will be made with crumbs of one color and a complementary solid. 

Will make 24 for a small donation quilt.

I have some other Hourglass quilts in the works. 

Another "Red Is A Neutral"

Here's another quilt where I used red as a neutral. 

Don't Set Sail On Someone Else's Star

72 x 90

(Snow kind of blew all over the quilt while I was taking photos that day.) 

Some of the stars were September 2013 Block Lotto winnings. I made the rest of the blocks and decided on a layout. 

Quilt was finished February 2014. 

February 2014 blog post at Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilting.

This was the first time I added words to a quilt.  I thought the African proverb "Don't set sail on someone else's star"  was a good one for a high school graduate so put the quilt in the hope chest for a graduation gift for a grandchild.

Red is Neutral

Confetti Waves

48 x 64

Started December 2015

Finished October 2018

I finished this quilt last year that used red as neutral and waste triangles in an Ocean Waves layout.

It is in my donation pile now. 

Blog post

I also have another WIP inspired by vintage blocks that uses red for neutral. I'll post more on that later when I finish it.   I continue to work on a couple of quilts for the mapping challenge.
