I am really trying to finish up a few old projects in between starting new ones.  I don’t ever seem to be at a loss for something to sew.

I finished up this quilt for a graduation gift for our good friends daughter who was graduating from highschool  She said she wanted a teal color and this is what I came up with.  The pattern is Mellow from Natalia Bonner and Kathleen Whiting’s book, Modern One-Block quilts.  

These are pretty big blocks and they sewed up quicker than you would think.

This is a duffle bag I made out of fabrics from the Michael Miller Modern Quilt Guild challenge.  I started with a Simplicity pattern and then added a shoulder strap, the zipper pocket and a few other pockets.  It really was a fun project to do with the quilt as you go style.  I was able to incorporate all the fabrics.

This was a journal cover I made entirely from scraps.  It was a challenge at our modern quilt guild to take some scraps and make something of them for the next meeting.  We all then swapped our creative treasures.  I belong to the Detroit Area Modern (DAM) Quilt Guild.

Here is another journal cover i just finished.  I am really liking these small pieced figures and then the small channel quilting to set it off.

I love this little apple!  And that is the latest finished little quilty things.
