Another Box of Quilt Tops

I'm back to unpacking.  I'm down to the last 6 or 8 boxes and just can't seem to get the uummph to finish.  I know that all but a couple of the boxes are quilts, blocks, and yarn, but I just got my machine back from the repairman and kind of want to do a little machine stitching.  Maybe later........

This quilt is from a round robin I was in about 3 or 4 years ago.  I love the bright, happy colors of this quilt.  The girls in this group really did a great job, especially Nancy Z. making all of those hexagons and leaves for the outside border.  They are all sewn on by hand.

This red work Santa is from an old McCalls magazine.  It will be a small quilt/wall hanging size.  

I'm not sure if you can see it in this photo, but I have started to hand quilt it.  I really need to smooth this one out but can't take it completely apart to iron it unless I take the quilting out.....I don't think I want to do that.

This is my Jane Austen quilt.  It was a lot of fun cutting these diamonds, but this quilt top was finished before my English Paper Piecing days.  You can kind of see those bias edges waving at you from where you're sitting.  I could take that green border off, but I think this one has more problems than just the border.   There are 4 diamonds of the same fabric placed equal distance from the center.  

Remember watercolor quilts?  I made this quilt top when that was all the rage.  This was made before I'd ever heard of the 1" fusible grid that is available on the market now.   This one was pieced together one square at a time.

This two color applique' pattern called Sunflower Fields is available from Pacific Rim Quilt Company.  I have 3 more of their two color applique' patterns in the works to do plus another one that is Halloween.  The hand applique' is all finished on this one; it just needs quilting.

Here is another round robin.  One of my friends thought it was a little boring, so she put a bright pink flange and corners on her round.  I found a batik that is pretty similar so sometime I might add some to the quilt.  I was never quite sure what to do with this one.

That's it for this box.  It's kind of fun taking this part of unpacking slowly so that I can take a good look at the things I haven't seen for several months.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

I hope that you are finding a little time to stitch today.
