Finished EPP top...and in-progress one!

So I finally finished piecing the rainbow stars and text print quilt top.  Actually, it was done at Christmas but I didn't have a chance to photo it....it measures 48" x 54".  It will be a wall hanging in my classroom as soon as I quilt it...


And an up-close shot...The text prints were purchased mostly from my LQS Quiltique and some from online shops--Etsy, most likely.  The diamonds and hexagons are all 2"--purchased from PaperPieces.com


And the next one, an in-progress quilt top...all 2" diamonds and Kaffe fabrics....


I really need to figure out a good way to take pics in the backyard.  Or maybe I need to go to the park down the street??  The reality of this shoot was a clothesline strung between a ladder and a palm tree.  LOL....I've never even seen a live clothesline before!!  It sags....??  Darn it, still working on the photography....



Happy Quilting!

  2. Yummy Kaffe quilt! So fun with the polka dots. And for photography...maybe time to invest in a stand?!?

  4. I am delighted to have found your amazing blog. That quilt is gorgeous. I've never seen that pattern. It looks hard, but I find that even if something looks hard when you break it down into small steps it always turns out fine. Of course you being a math teacher you are not at all intimidated by all of those angles :) I love the happy colors and the newsprint . . . they are so suited to one another. I started quilting around a year and a half ago . . . once you have been bit by the quilting bug there's is no turning back.
