May Quilts 2025

I can’t believe I forgot my April Running Doe quilt top.  My favorite of all so far!  I plan to make another.  This is called Sky Diamonds and is a Villa Rosa pattern.

This is my May Running Doe pattern also by Villa Rosa.  It’s called Kaleidoscope.  I used a technique from Maryquilts.com to make the butterflies “flutter”.  See https://maryquilts.com/twisted-9-patch/

This quilt was inspired by a Fabric Cafe 3 yard quilt.  My friend needed a quilt made in an odd size.  I grabbed pen and paper and did some math.  I told her how many yards of each fabric she would need.  She brought her choices to one of our Saturday sews.  I asked her if she wanted me to help her get started.  Within a few hours I completely cut it out and had it mostly sewn together.  She said I should finish it so I did.  This one is languishing on my quilt machine now.

If I could flex my quilting muscle as much as my piecing muscle I’d be in great shape!
