One More Completed Top

I spent last Sunday finishing up a black and white floral quilt using my favorite "Fat Quarter Shuffle".  It is going to be a wedding gift for a colleague.

The other quilt top is a donation top made from "Cinnamon Girl" by Robyn Pandolph.  I used "Turning Twenty Again" for this one.

Donation Quilt

The new executive committee for the Austin Modern Quilt Guild just planned and executed our first meeting as a team last night.  A good time was had by all.  We had a jelly roll drawing with jelly roll strips in QuiltCon colors.  This was to hype up the QuiltCon block challenge.  We also had a pouch swap that was loads of fun.  We did it White Elephant style and a couple of popular pouches got stolen the maximum three times.  Of course we had show and tell. It is really nice to see how many talented quilters we have in our group.

Tangerine Picnic Quilt

I spent so much time at my garden plot at Mayfield Preserve the last few weekends, I was thinking spring and flowery.  I took some Robyn Pandolph fabric in tangerine and mixed it up with some solids to make a picnic quilt.  I was not going to use the fabric for anything else.  I am not a big tangerine fan.  I got all the blocks together and am moving them around on the design wall.  I used a pattern called "Bits n' Pieces."

It was a little time consuming to cut but the piecing went fairly quickly.  I only had squares and rectangles.  I am on the road again and headed for Houston next week.  I won't get any more sewing done until next weekend.
