    Default April Projects
    I sort of lost my mind and tried a mini star quilt - as soon as I shared the photo a friend, who gave me 10 boxes of fabric, asked for it. She likes it - I was moderately happy with the result. Hated all those tiny squares to make the ribbon looking border.

    The quilt in pinks is a gift for my husband's great niece who turns 1 at the end of May.

    The table runner was supposed to be for Mother's Day for my husband's Mom. . .not sure she will appreciate the colors as much as I do.

    all nicely done... yes, the ribbon border has lots of small pieces, but it always looks great in a quilt

    Well done. Yes, the ribbon border may have been a pain to make, but the result is striking.

    Beautiful projects. I love everything about the first one. Ribbon border really finishes it off nicely.
