2012-Flower Pot

2012-Flower Pot 12 X 12
I decided to challenge myself with this little applique with the complicated border.

2012 Flannel Rags

2012-Flannel Rag 31 X 31

2012-Flannel Rag 44 X 44
Rag quilts, especially those make from flannel, are soft and cozy. Since I had some flannel fabric on my collection, I decided to use it in this way.

2012-Dogs and Cats

2012-Dogs and Cats 58 X 58
This is another applique quilt made from left-over fabric.

2012-Carpenters Star

2012-Carpenters Star 58 X 58
This pattern gave me opportunities to make half-square triangles. The quilting was rather time consuming because I had to change thread colors so many times.

2012-Birds in a Tree

2012-Birds in a Tree 23 X 30
 It was fun to applique this little quilt, but the quilting was the most difficult part.

2012-Around Town

2012-Around Town 50 X 50
This pattern attracted my attention because of its use of scraps, but for some reason, I did not realize how many small pieces it contained until I started making it.

2012 - Jelly Rolls

2012 - Jelly Rolls 51 X 61
I've seen several very attractive jelly roll quilts made by other quilters, but I am not very happy with the way mine turned out.
