I recently finished a baby quilt for a niece or nephew due in March. I found the pattern in a magazine, but I'm not really happy with the fabrics I chose. I ended up outline quilting each horse to try to make it stand out. Before that, the design looked like sailboats from a distance!!
And, at a qult show last year I purchased the L'il Twister template. As an experiment, I tried it out on a package of charm squares I'd won somewhere. It looks OK, but I learned that I should have put contrasting colors next to each other....I think that way the pinwheel shapes will show up more.
I also just finished a scrappy quilt which hangs over our fireplace...not above it, over the actual opening and glass doors. We get such a draft, I was trying to block it. Of course, it's a little hard to tell if it's working when it's almost 70 degrees! But, I'm not complaining!
The first two can be seen on page 10 in my Webshots. I haven't taken a photo of the fireplace cover yet.
