I just can't let 1-11-11 go by without posting. This was my first completed quilt.

I made this for my son who rode barebacks at rodeo's all around the country.  I had always wanted to do a lone star.  This one quickly cured me of that.  Oh my, it was not easy and in fact Claudia finished this star for me.  It was a fun quilt to do other than that.  Sorry the colors are bad but it is a grey day today.

I used the flash on this one but don't know if it better or worse.  This is the same pattern but in a different size as the boots on Dianne's quilt from yesterday.

Tomorrow night is sew night and I can hardly wait.  I don't know what project I will take but I can tell you one thing for sure there are plenty of UFO's to choose from.  I have been dutifully putting the fat quarter BOM in a safe place to work on when I have the inspiration to do the cutting.  It is such a cute pattern and the Kate Spain fabric is really great but I just can't seem to get going.

I hope you are all able to stay warm and sew. 

Enjoy!

Do you all remember these? Finishes

Dianne took the feathered star class at the QuiltWalk last summer.  It is awesome piecing.  She made it into a baby quilt.  Notice the boots in each corner.  I love the color scheme and what a great idea for a little boy.  This little boy came early so she was glad to have the quilt done.  It has minki on the back and is so soft. 

This cute baseball quilt has baseballs quilted into each corner.  There is minki on the back of this one too. 

 Obviously I don't know how to move the pictures around.  This should have been the first one.

She  has this quilt finished.  The baby has it now.  It turned out great.

this is it before binding but oh my, is it a total little boy--the name of the pattern is "rough and tumble"  it just fits.

We are all getting anxious for Wednesday, we have not had sew night since November and it is time to get back to it. 

Enjoy!

Posting to tell you about another blog.

Remember my dil holly who makes those amazing mini albums? Mini album and more and a paper bag album.  Well she has started her own blog.  She is so talented and can do just about anything she puts her mind to. I can't wait to see what she will do next.  Give her a visit if you get a minute.  I think she may be teaching a class at the Quilt Walk this year. 

Becky sent me some pictures of the projects she did over the holidays.  She was fast and did some way cute quilts and gifts. She even quilted them herself.  Way to go Becky. I have been working on getting them resized. 

Enjoy!

Ok I really wanted a post on 1-1-11. I am adding to my list.

Today I was reviewing the year on Sherri's blog and found more that have been on my list for a while.  I love Sherri's blog as she seems to use colors and patterns that speak to me.  It is incredible.  This quilt is by a fig tree quilt called "paper roses."

Here is another version of the Modernday diamonds quilt I told you was on my list yesterday.

this pattern called ""al a mode" is by  Camille  I think.  This  has been on the list since I first saw it on Sherri 's blog last year. 

I am going to have to quit reviewing the blogs now or I will surely fail with my 2011 list.  These quilts were made by Sherri.

Good luck to you all.

Enjoy!
