A Burst of Activity

I have been working away on a number of quilts, just a little bit here and a bit there, depending on what moves me. Then I got motivated and put together three quilts in the last few days. They are so pretty. This first one is an old pattern called crossroads. It is basically two different blocks (one is a 16 patch and the other is an x-block) Together they look wonderful. I am really beginning to appreciate the way two different blocks can play off of each other. I am working on a couple of more quilts with this two block play, I will show them later.

This quilt is a Full size (70 x 88).

The second quilt I finished is the one I copied from a local fabric store sample. There are no unique additions, I liked the original so much that I really just made it the same. Or at least the same as I remember it being. I backed it with a nice solid yellow. I would have loved to use one of the front fabrics but I do live on a budget! :)

Completed it is smaller than I would usually make only 64x76inches. A twin or large throw size I guess. I just followed the pattern and purchased only the fabric the pattern called for. But I am really pleased with the final result!

I haven't had a chance to photo the third I finished--my favorite--because we spent all of our daylight (and beyond) up at the river. Yeah for family fun!
