UFO's (Un-Finished Objects)These are projects that at some point I thought was a great idea, but for some reason or another I just haven't finished or maybe just needs some quilting. There are still some pretty pictures that you might enjoy. |

Bricks and
Stepping-Stones! - Great scrap quilt made with 2" and 3.5" strips.
Designed by
Bonnie Hunter,
machine pieced by Betty Baker, in line to be machine quilted on the
longarm. May 2005 Update 3/2007- Now on the Quilting Machine!!

This is a top that is ready to be quilted. It was mostly done on the Quilting cruise that we went on in January 2007. What fun that was! Anyway, this was inspired off of a quilt from quiltville.com. Think I need to add some borders to this one. | |

Haven't got a name for this one yet. It was inspired by a quilt that I remember seeing at Grandma Scarlett when we visited, but was made by one of the Grandma Hatties (Both Great-grandmothers were named Hattie, and both quilted!! I'm pretty sure it was GGma Marsh though). Anyway, I saw two different quilts that were similar to my memory, one an antique top, the other a quilt hanging at Festival. This is the quilt that I developed and pieced in Feb-Mar 2007. Not quilted yet. | |

Savannah Stars - Started
this one at the "Chillin Out" retreat hosted by the Cotton Patch of Tulsa
- Jan 2001. This had about 40 different fabrics. This top is ready
to be quilted. [ha - get in line!]. Designed by Cynthia Regone. Machine pieced by Betty Baker - 2001 (not quilted yet). |

NEW! 2002 This
Flower Garden variation is ready to quilted. All of the flower
petals, stems and leaves are appliquéd with a hand button-hole
stitch.
This one is even basted, and ready to go! (really is hard to get excited about sitting under a quilt when it's been a hundred degrees outside)! Jul 2004 - OK, it's not new anymore! Still not quilted! |
|
 |
This "Pinwheel" variation is a colorful play with fabric. The Pinwheels are actually 'flaps' and attached through the seam allowances. This baby sized top is going to some lucky new niece or nephew! Not quilted yet. | |
 |
This is "Baskets and Stars".
Each basket block has a star incorporated into in some manner. This
is made with flannels. Appliqué with flannels is a lot of fun, but I
was sure glad to get back to my regular cottons for fine needle turn
appliqué. This pattern by "Joined at the Hip".
Hand pieced by Betty Baker in 2001. Not quilted yet.

This traditional pattern, "Pineapple",
is a string-pieced style quilt. The reds and whites are 'scrappy'
with only the corners using the same fabrics. This one could use a
few more blocks, and is not quilted yet.
3/2007 - Finished putting blocks together - NEW Pictures |

This is the one I am working on
now. It's to be a KING sized quilt for Rachael, who is getting
married this August (2001). I have promised to have the top done by
the wedding date. The fabrics are the same colors as in Savannah
Stars, only there are over 75 different fabrics. A king sized quilt
takes 199 of the melons [or footballs]. [5/2001-Those are
all pieced and I'm in process of sewing two melons to X piece].
Jan 2005 - Still not finished piecing, BUT I did take a class from Shar Jorgensen to figure out why I'm having problems finishing it. Seems I'm using "crow bars" (as Shar called my yellow headed pins) to pin those intersections. She gave me some fine point pins, and all of a sudden the intersections work! No more excuses!! |
|
 |
I got sidetracked by the wedding (Aug 2001) and felt the need to finish this one up. This is War and Pieces (See "Civil War Women" by Barbara Brackman). Borders are done, just need to finish assembling the top. Oh, and quilt it! | |
