And these are the quilt tops  I completed in October.

      Here are the quilt tops I made in August and September. I worked on these while visiting the Piece Keepers Retreat.      

    This one was inspired by a design called Second Floor WalkUp by Susan Guzman  in the March-April issue of McCalls Quilting.         Carolina Crossroads from Scraps and Shirttails by Bonnie K.Hunter

  Here are the quilt tops I finished in February 2014.    I did not make the blocks in the first three; they were a group project of DQG workshop nights.  I just assembled them.   I really enjoyed making the one below.  It was a challenge.  I was given the fireman fabric in many pieces.  I tried to assemble it into a quilt top.  We always need more quilts that are oriented for little boys. The fabric for this last one came all the way from my friend Betsy in Chicago.  I added the conversation prints in the center of each block.

Here are a couple of quilt tops from January; both for the guild's Covers for Kids:     This is the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt -- Celtic Solstice         And this is from a great book of scrap quilts I found by Kim Brackett:

Haven't worked on my quilts for awhile - relocated. Here are a few from December: this was from the Bonnie Hunter workshop in September - Virginia Bound   and here are a couple more that I finally completed     This was just a compilation of 2 1/2 inch squares: and over Christmas I used some red and green strips to make one more log cabin top
