Liberated and Loving It

I finally finished the quilt I started last year in a class with Gwen Marston on Liberated Log Cabins.

Lib Logs (and Prosper)
31.5 inches square

This was so fun to make, and I love the way it came out.  I had a few blocks from the class and made more.  Then I saw that Gwen was coming out with a new book on Liberated Medallion quilts, so I decided to put the blocks into a medallion setting.  Well, a liberated medallion, as it's not really symmetrical. I was truly improvisational on this quilt, and I can't wait to do more!

To see more, go to my blog.  

Happy quilting!

Stretching the Scraps

Earlier, I showed a picture of the scrappy purple blocks in progress.  Tonight the borders went on.  A plain border would have been boring, but it was kind of a challenge to put any kind of border together with what I had left.  ALL of the purples used were already on hand and I was not about to start cutting new fabric at this point in the process.  (I would have had a little more to work with if I hadn't taken that side trip to piece the "purple haze" letters - still in progress.)

  

More Purple

Tonya!  Just look what happened last night after I got the little purple blocks finished!

ha ha ha ha .....

(Purple) Work in Progress

Wow, this is fun!  I zig-zagged squares on top of squares.  

I whacked them up, mixed up the pieces and sewed everything back together.

I was just playing around when I made these six blocks, but I like them so well that I'm working on six more.  That will make enough for a nice sized lap quilt.  Not like me at all.  Raw edges!!!
