New Quilt square


This is the newest project I am working on. It uses local fabric from Nigeria. The fabric is called "crack" or "crackle" fabric. Let's just get it out there. Its fun to say that I'm using my crack fabric. Anyways. I LOVE the way these fabrics work together. These smaller squares will be sewn together then put on point with sashing and cornerstones. I'll keep the finished quilt a surprise for later. But isn't it just yummy so far!

First Completed Quilt


Hello to all.


Here is my first completed quilt titled "Doris' Roman Squares" after my Grandmother. She had these Roman square blocks in her stash when she passed away. So, I took them out and put them together and then added the piano key border from some other scraps she had. I finally finished it in October 2007 and I think it turned our fabulous. More to come.
