Personal goals for RWB coins.

I'm trying a new template color, as I thought the rose sides didn't go with the RWB theme of this blog. I hope you like it.



This picture is of the stacks of coins sent by HeartStringers. I've made some personal goals about creating quilts with these strips. Remember, I'm also a Stashbuster, so that is part of my goals.

1. Create as many different quilts out of these coins as my little brain can think up.


2. Use up as much as possible of this bin - the "Americana" bin, including the blocks and panels that are kept in here.










3. If I remove any fabric from the "stacks", I have to use it all - or cut it into strips for the scrap bins.


4. Nothing is to be returned to the stacks. I don't think I'll miss them.

I'm enjoying watching your creativity with these coins, and got a special thrill when I spotted one that I had sent in your picture. Keep up the good work!

Loved seeing your goals for how to work with the coins. The new top looks great and I'm looking forward to seeing what else you come up with :)

Help with Layout , please

I'm not sure how blogger will put these, but let's call the far left one - A, then b, c, d, as they go down. I could use some help deciding on a layout for these blocks. They are happy blocks with train fabric in the middle, and the border fabric is also trains. There is a border for the bottom, I just couldn't reach it very well. It's a donation quilt for the V&T symposium - a group trying to rebuild the Virgina and Truckee Railroad, but they also are friends of the Nevada State Railroad Museum. We go in a couple of weeks, so I need to get this one finished. I can't decide on a layout. If you would leave a comment on which one you like best, I would appreciate it. It is easier to see now that they are in small pictures, so I would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks. Happy Quilting, Becky Email me

A Christmas wall hanging

This is the first fusible project I made. It was about 1994, and I didn't know to be concerned about how it turned out. The fused clouds are really heavy, and of course quilting didn't do anything for them as they are so stiff. I hand quilted the upper sky, trying to give definition. It was "birthed" rather that bound, so the edges remain puffy. Even with all that, I love this angel. My DIL's friend fell in love with it, and wanted one so badly, that for the next Christmas I made her one in teals. She loved it. Please enjoy the other Christmas quilts by clinking the link to SewCalGal or entering the following in your browser http://sewcalgal.blogspot.com/2010/11/christmas-quilt-show-2010.html Blogger doesn't want to make a clickable link right how. I hope you enjoy the show. Happy Quilting, Becky

Glacier Star with extension, or 488 geese later. . . .

The top is finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It needs a good pressing, then ?? I don’t know if I want to try to quilt it myself. I keep thinking of quilting designs, but I’m not sure I have the skill to carry them out. I don’t want to mess it up after 488 flying geese! If you look at the picture closely, it looks like the left side is brighter, almost like stained glass. It’s because of where it is placed in the living room, the only place large enough for the picture. Here’s the un-cropped photo. The DGK’s had moved all the furniture to the walls so they could build a fort. Works for me!    Happy Quilting, Becky
