Log cabin,9 patch and Bento Box. All great scrap quilts sometimes the 9 patch sections are leaders and enders, so I get 2 quilts done at once.

I like DP9, Lemoyne Star and 10 minute blocks. You can see I go for the easy ones!! Someday I will have to tackle one that takes a lot of time. But usually am in such a hurry to start another quilt that I can't wait to finish the one I'm working on.

I usually gravitate to a new pattern each time, but for some reason I had several requests for this same pattern for several baby quilts. They generally have a diaper bag to match (as seen in one of the pics). Luckily it is a fairly easy pattern that I found in an old magazine (I think it was a McCall's Quilting from a few years back). It's amazing how much difference the choice of fabrics can change the looks. I love making the prairie points and they look harder than they are.

I am new to quilting, just a few months ago started doing it serious. I would start a top and run out of fabric and put it away for sometime years. But the since about 3 months ago I've completed one log cabin queen size quilt, finished just yesterday a wavy log cabin top and almost finished a second wavy log cabin top. Love doing them.

I like to make whatever pops into my head and then I bring it to life!

I have made "yellow brick road" by Atkinson designs many times, usually for baby quilts.

I love the flying geese...in a quilt ,as a border what ever. I've been chipping away at my UFO's....3 done in the last 2months. I will be posting pics after they are quilted.

i pretty such don,t stick to just one i see a pattern i like and test a block if i like it i,ll make it into a quilt .

I don't understand "leaders and enders". I have seen that term more than once in the last few days. Could someone please explain?

I have SO many favorites....and so many on my "to do" list but I love making "trip around the world" and "twisters"

I have the Fab Five by Abbey Lane quilts several times. Love how I can applique, embroidery, and change the size easily. Just a fun quilt for me.

I get a set of wild modern fat quarters once a year (fabric store sale) and I usually make a Turning Twenty to showcase the fabrics. So far I have three done and love them. The fabrics are so unusual that the pattern is really secondary.

I also have made more than one Buggy Barn Angel quilt. It is a great one to give to someone with a health crisis or a special need. Nine angels and a border with our without the words (faith, hope and love) is a perfect larger lap quilt. Or make 12 angels and put it on a bed.

Peggi, Thanks a million for your answer. I have been thinking about this for the last few days, and thought nobody would see my question because it was posted very late in the day, and I didn't think anyone would see it anymore. I don't know my way around this site very well, so I don't know about saving threads, and I don't know where these threads come from. They are obviously somewhere else for a day or two before they get here.

But I knew what leaders and enders were. I could figure that out. We call them "startie-stoppies" or "spiders". But I couldn't figure out what that had to do with 9-patches coming out the end of your quilt. You have been super helpful. I just get such a thrill when I have an Ah-Haaa moment and have learned something new. I love the system of sewing something instead of just putting thread on a scrap.

Now I will see if I can find out how to PM you so you can read this.

I love the Log Cabin, you can do so much with it.

Hi, Leesa. I like the x's and O's and the scrappy jelly roll quilt.
Talk to you soon. Ellie
