2011 Just Like New Boutique Quilt

Every year I make a quilt from the scraps leftover from cutting the squares to make the catnip pillows.  Somehow, there are always just enough scraps to make one quilt.  I added some solid blue and red scraps to make a Roman Stripe pattern this year.  It will be raffled off to benefit the JLN fund.

California Quilt

In an unusual move, made to keep!  It is in one of my guest rooms.  I used a whole bunch of food oriented fabric, mostly healthy, but added some ice cream and frosted donuts.  I call it the California Quilt--land of the fruits and nuts!

Baby Quilt/Stepping Stones

Yet one more in the Little Feet series.  I used the same stepping stones block that I did on Alex's dorm quilt.

Cowboy Jack

One of Polly's Texas friends was having a baby, and that called for a cowboy boot quilt, with a reproduction of an old Wild West poster to go on the back.

Fourth of July - Pimm's Cup and Pie

In July 2011, Steve and Holly Massey announced that after 20 years of having an annual Fourth of July picnic, they were throwing in the towel (or tablecloth, whichever).  I decided that deserved a quilt, so I string-pieced one out of patriotic fabrics.  The solid red strips were just right for the participants to sign as a remembrance, and I had enough patriotic Hoochy Mama fabric to make an interesting back.

2010 Just Like New Quilt

Isn't it funny how there seem to be just enough scraps leftover from cutting the catnip toy squares to make one quilt?  This is a slightly different arrangement of the string piecing.

Catnip Toy Quilt

There are always some scraps leftover from cutting the squares for the catnip toys, and Jackie Barnett and I starting making quilts from them to sell or raffle off to benefit the Just Like New Fund.  Jackie pieced this one, and I quilted it.
