Rolling Waves

I have been working on Rolling Waves for the past three weeks.  Rolling Waves is a pattern I have wanted to make for a long time.  It is free download from McCalls Quilting, and there are many variations online.   http://www.mccallsquilting.com/free-easy-bed-sized-quilt-patterns  Most people have made it in two colors, and it looks great that way.

The color in my pictures isn't accurate.  My background is not black or gray but a teal/blue/green batik with a swirly pattern on it.  I like the illusion of curves using only squares and rectangles.  All of my blocks are done, but the top isn't sewn together yet.

This pattern is easy, but not particularly fast.  There is a lot of piecing!  The smallest squares finish at 3/4".

Shaggy One Block Wonder, Stash Report

I got my Kaffe Fassett Shaggy yellow one block wonder top together.  I have been playing around with the arrangement of the hexagons for over a month and had intended to add some cubes.  They didn't add much to the design of  the quilt, so they were omitted.  This is my fourth OBW, and my first without cubes.

The colors in my pictures aren't true to the fabric. In person, they are much brighter, more like https://www.fatquartershop.com/kaffe-fassett-collective-yellow-shaggy-yardage

Talkin' Turkey, Quilted and Bound

My Talkin' Turkey quilt is finally finished!  Here it is quilted and bound.

There is only one spot in my entire house I can lay this quilt out on the floor and get a picture of it.

Vicki Johnson of Threads that Bind Us did the longarm quilting.  The top is so busy that you don't even notice notice the quilting except for in  the borders. Vicki suggested a pantograph that mimicked a flower in the backing.  http://www.threadsthatbindusquilting.com/

This quilt was almost 2 1/2 years in the making, and I'm so pleased to have it done!  Next step is a trip to the laundromat to get it washed since it won't fit in my machine.
