Finished my paper airplane FPP #quilt recently and am already well into the next project. Except for the backing which I don't like enough to show it's all thrifted and salvaged fabric. Each plane is ditch stitched on my machine and then the "speed lines" are big hand stitching. #sewing #quilting

Rectangular modern quilt with twelve horizontal rectangular blocks, arranged in two columns and six rows, each featuring a stylized paper airplane pieced from coordinating fabrics, and finished with a narrow blue binding.

The airplanes appear in a range of colors including greens, blues, pinks, yellows, reds, and purples, with each plane made from three related shades to suggest folded paper layers.

Backgrounds behind the planes are highly varied: some are tone‑on‑tone prints in lime or grass green, others are cool blues and teals with abstract patterns, and several are deep red with small scattered motifs like dots or swirls. — Rectangular modern quilt with twelve horizontal rectangular blocks, arranged in two columns and six rows, each featuring a stylized paper airplane pieced from coordinating fabrics, and finished with a narrow blue binding.

Of all the quilts I've ever made, and there's been A LOT over the last 20+ years, this is my favorite. It was made during the first weeks of the COVID pandemic as a way to bring color into the world during that very dark time

Quilt top is complete. Don’t stare too closely at my appliqué ship. I will start hard quilting in a few days. #quilt #quilting #StarTrek #applique

A square quilt top with a wide black border surrounds a modern design made of bright rectangles in yellow, teal, light blue, pink, and dark gray. Thick black sashing separates the colored shapes, giving it a clean, graphic look. In the center is a white rectangle featuring a black appliqué silhouette of the USS Enterprise, shown from the side. The overall style feels bold, balanced, and inspired by classic science-fiction design.

Once I made a king size quilt of silk that had been dyed traditionally using beets, onion skins, etc. I had some little scraps left and couldn't bear to throw them away, so I made this mini throw.
I never had a security blanket as a child, but lately I've found myself reaching for this for the softness.
#quilt

A small quilt of two-inch squares in a semi-random distribution of dark red, pink, orange, and pale sage green. It has a cream colored border with a purple stain. It has a lovely sheen because it's pure silk.

Quilt finish day! This is one of my favorite quilts ever, I think. It's a 5'x5' throw made of shirting fabrics I'd collected. Some came from random fabric sales and others came from a friend who graciously gave me the stash she was too old to use.

Foundation-paper pieced, hand-quilted.

I don't yet have a better name for it than Shirting Pineapple, we'll see. #quilting #quiltsofMastodon #quilt

A pineapple style quilt with alternating diagonals of browns and blues in shirting patterns, mostly stripes and plaids. The middle sections are various white and cream shirtings again with stripes and crosshatching. The center squares and corners for each block are bright red with white cross-hatching. The pineapple effect made up of jagged lines hwich can be seen as forming pineapples but also interlocking circles.

an angled view of the pineapple from closer to the floor. This view highlights the individual fabrics. Some are very densly patterned and some are very light. Each block is broadly symmetrical though cuts may impact the effect.

The quilt is lying on a red coach in a way that really makes a wheel and spoke aspect of it pop out. There's just a corner peaking out of the underside to show that the backing is a pink check.

The quilt is lying, folded, on top of a well-worn pineapple quilt. Its corner is turned back to reveal the pink check on the back. The worn pineapple quilt looks almost like a shadow of the new one.

No sun in the forecast today. Here's one I made many years ago. A baby quilt. The baby is now an adult.
#sun #quilt

An appliqué quilt hanging in a wall. The center is an appliqué sun with a face and blue eyes, over a patchwork of sunbeams radiating out. The frame is different tones of blue, with a yellow appliqué moon, comet, star, and planet in the corners.
