This one’s called Many Trips Around the World, because that’s the name of the pattern. The fabric I started with is the one that looks light gray in the photo, but the bird fabric is the one that jumps out. Oh, well.
36″x48″, hand quilted, just cross-hatching.

I’m calling this donation quilt the leaf quilt, because a) the pattern is stylized leaves, and b) the colored fabrics all have leaves of one kind or another in them. I hadn’t realized how many leaf fabrics I’d collected over the years till I went looking to see if I had enough to make this quilt.
36″ x 54″, hand quilted in a simple crosshatch. And yes, some of the blocks are turned a quarter randomly on purpose, to imitate falling leaves.
That’s the eighth donation quilt I’ve finished this year. Three already given away, five so far in a stack waiting for the next quilt show that takes them (in March).

Or at least that’s what I’m calling this one, because the fabrics in the center squares of the alternating stars are a Russian folktale themed fabric, fussy cut so that I didn’t chop anyone’s head off. Another to add to the stack of donation quilts I’ll take to the Monroe show in March.
This was a fun pattern to do.
So you can see the novelty fabric, and the mostly-diagonal quilting with a bit of echo quilting in the light squares.

I just finished another lap quilt (36″x48″), pieced last summer from a bunch of bits of novelty fabrics (everything from marbles to frogs to slices of fruit) I had lying around, mostly, with a few reads-as-solids to keep it from being too busy, and hand-quilted (just diagonal lines, so it went fast) it and finished it this month. I don’t remember the name of the block. I’m calling it a misfit quilt, because of the fabrics, but I like the concept and may do it again, just for the heck of it.
