Saw this pattern last night called Wonky Tiles in Fons and Porter's Winter 2013 Easy Quilts. Designed by Christine Stainbrook. Her pattern was appliquéd blocks on a solid background and done in Cuddle fabrics. However , I "saw" my happy giraffes and I had just enough fabric to piece the giraffe blocks with sashing.
So this is the beginning of a Happy Giraffe No. 3.

See the folded fabric that makes the flying geese. Gives them dimension if you do not top stitch them down.
My neighbor brought her pattern from Blank Quilting over and we played on the design wall to get her Desert Dwellers quilt started.
This was our test of the piecing instructions for the flying geese. I had seen the process demonstrated before but had never seen a pattern with the instructions. So neat.
Now of course I want to use some flying geese in something.

Here is my first baby quilt for 2014. Disappearing Nine-Patch pattern.
Love the blues and other bright colors in this approximately 38" square baby quilt. All cotton fabrics, binding, batting, and threads.
Made in my non-smoking home.
All ready for a baby to snuggle in or lay on the floor and play on.

Paisley and orange twin size quilt top nearing completion. The middle is nearly done. Now to add the connecting sashing and borders. Then to figure out how to quilt on this smaller machine. The pattern is Five and Dime from Mountainpeak Creations. Becoming a favorite pattern.
I have purchased a Craftsy Class on quilting on a small machine. It should give me ideas and some practice before I try these two quilts.
Baby boy quilt blocks in process. The pattern is called Disappearing Nine Patch. I cut the 5 inch squares using my Accu-quilt cutter. I forget how easy and accurate this tool is. I had 81 squares cut in no time and the best part is they are accurate. Much easier to cut in the camper than using the rotary cutter on the dinette.
Anyway two projects off and running. I think I can pretty easily quilt the baby quilt. We will see. They tell me the machine has a hoop that I should be able to load an embroidery design and it will quilt it. Gotta learn how that one works. Signed up for some classes on the machine.
And here she is again. Asleep on the job. :o)
