A Little Rag Quilt

Hi there
Sorry I ddin't post over the weekend, I've been suffering from the dreaded toothache.
I consoled myself by making a little rag quilt.  I'd always wanted to make one of these so now I can score it off my to do list.
I started with a pile of these :

6.5" squares, sandwiched with layer of wadding (batting) and a backing square.
I sewed diagonal lines to anchor the layers together.

Most of the work is in cutting out the squares but once that is done is sews together quickly.  I made this in a day then spent the evening snipping the seams.  I just couldn't wait to wash it and get it in the tumble dryer.

Love how it turned out and I will give this to my Mum - perfect timing as it's beginning to get very cold here in Scotland.  A girl can never have too many quilts can they?

Now, what can I work on next ?  No doubt I'll find something!
Thanks for visiting. Til next time
Happy Stitchin'

Fruit Salad - Applique Quilt with flowers and feathers

This weekend I finished my Fruit Salad quilt.  I've called it that because the colours remind me of a chewy sweetie of the same name.
This is one of these quilts that just happened.  I was quilting flowers and feathers and I just wanted to try the design as an applique.
It measures 60" x 72" and I used Soft and Bright polyester wadding.  The applique is raw edge and it was all quilted on my domestic on the table top.
Here is the quilt in pictures:

This quilt will be part of my display next year.  click this link to see details.
