Well, I have certainly let this blog fall to the wayside, but I am still quilting ! Last year I got involved in helping finish quilts that my Church makes for rehab graduates. I do alot of the bindings, and I really enjoy being a part of this ministry.
But every now and then I squeeze in a personal quilt.
This past January I experimented with using some fabric that was donated to me. This VOILE was intended for making shawls, but I doubled it as the back for a small lap quilt, or baby quilt. I have to say that it turned out marvelously. I used an older charm pack for the print squares in the top, along with scraps of a muslin-type of fabric that was leftover from trimming some of the donation quilts.
But the back of this quilt is the STAR ! I used a polyester batting, and the back of this quilt is every bit as soft-feeling as a minky fabric, but won't pick up pet hair like that fabric does !

And, this past week I got a hankering to try piecing some diamonds, thinking I would like an entire quilt top made from them........but, I'm now thinking...uh, NO, don't think I want to go there (bias edges !) BUT I do love the table topper that I made from my trial piece !
One more little make.........this birthday banner was finished this month as well.
*****Side note.......I am no longer dating Adrian .*****
