Quilt Finishes While Computer is Down

I have been disconnected from the computer world for the past week. My computer crashed on May 4 while I was on line talking to a friend on line. Thanks to my daughter sharing her laptop with me throughout the week, I was able to keep limited contact with my on-line friends. Thanks to the computer talents of my son, my computer is now back up and running and I have rejoined the blogging world and I am back "connected" to all of you.

While I did not have my computer, I did manage to make good use of my time and finished off some quilts.
This is my dryer sheet diamond quilt. This quilt was completed to the flimsy stage on May 27, 2007 and was long arm machine quilted using the Baptist Fan template on January 6, 2008.


This is my Hibiscus Convergence quilt. We made this quilt on a FAB Saturday in March. Although it is hard to see in this picture, this quilt was long arm machine quilted with the clam sheet template.


This quilt is the product of a couple of challenges and a FAB Saturday. LindaJ's quilting group challenged themselves to use the feature fabric in this quilt, the merrkittys in a quilt. Pam challenged the FABs to use the yellow star fabric in a quilt using the 9 Patch Pizzazz pattern. The FABs are donating their finished 9PP quilts to Pam's M2M project. Tada...presenting IIWII (It Is What It Is), my Merkitty 9 Patch for Mexico quilt! Now don't say that three times in a row! LOL

  2. I love how this turned out--good way to focus those merkitties and incorporate that yellow from Pam.

    I passed out some more challenge fabric to the group today--green with all kinds of critters on it. We have till years' end to come up with a pattern for it.

    I love those Baptist Fans!

  3. All lovely! My favorite is the dryer diamonds - right now I am really drawn to string quilts and all the different variations! Great quilting too! Amazing what we can get done when "unplugged"!

    Cheers!

  4. Congrats on your many finishes. Computers are wonderful (when they're working!!) but they do have a tendency to EAT UP TIME :)
