Appliqué in the front party at the back


These lovely ladies are Sandy and Patty my friends,

from my Sew day at the grange, 

They are modeling the In the Garden Appliqué Quilt so I can get a better picture of it

I'm thinking of Giving this one to my Grandson



And Here are my trouble children, the Pink and Blue birds Crazy Quilts

The 14" Squares were sewn by a guild member and I can see why she gave up on them!
She used some double knit fabric, that was probably from old clothing and whilst its not so bad, (unless you have to wear it!) for that,

The maroon, dark green and yellow interspersed with quilting cotton makes for a wonky square.

 it's a disaster in a crazy quilt! as it stretches 4 ways from Sunday

Double knit squirms more than a three year old trying to avoid being cleaned!

 more than velvet, almost more than velvet sewn to satin! 

and honestly doesn't look half good IMHO 

But I persevered and got it more or less square But that cut it down to 10.5"squares

To make them cuteish I found some old bird panels, we will probably see the smaller blocks from those again

I finished the pink one off with stripey 14.5" blocks from the pile to make them both roughly 47x60

These two make 15 Orphan Block quilts from the pile.
