Group mystery quilt

This is the second of one group’s mystery quilts for 2024. I finished quilting the first one on 2 March of this year.

How different these two look simply because of the fabrics used. The first one is all pastels, while this one is bright and bold.

I again used my own motif, the one I doodled for the quilt done on 16 April, but added another little plume and the odd loop to travel to the next area.

Another pillow sham

 Oops! I forgot to post about this one.

This is from the same quilt maker as the previous two shams, and on this one, a simple ribbon edge-to-edge motif was done.

Protea print quilt

I met this quilter the first time just after I hatched a premature chicken whose eggshell was trampled by the hen.  This was early December, and I didn’t know if it would survive the night.

Now she is all grown, very demanding and inquisitive and a very special part of our pet family.

I finished this protea print, a gift to a co-worker of the quilt maker.

Scatter cushion shams… I think

Two smaller tops, I believe the smallest I’ve ever quilted, came my way. I can only imagine these would be used to make shams for scatter cushions. I picked up a little difference in the piecing between the two, but it is not my job to judge, and I always believed a completed project is way better than a perfect project.

Interlocking runner

There, I thought the previous quilt would be my last for a while, and then I received a couple more. I am not complaining, though.

This quilt maker made several quilts throughout her quilting time, but never got them quilted, and she seems to have decided to have them finished now.

The colours and border on this runner would be suitable for a Christmas table.  I, unfortunately, did not ask her what she intended when she made this.
