My new quilt, Pirates at Sea



I got the top of the quilt all done. Just need to take a picture of it. Anyway here's the design and some cut out pieces. 120" x 120"

Got another blue ribbon at the fair







My arrowhead hunter quilt. Quite possibly the most difficult quilt I ever made.

New quilt in the making

Time for my next project to begin. I'm making a pirate quilt. I found some real cool water-looking fabric and s pirate themed fat quarter collection. For the design I've chosen to do it with the Storm at Sea block. I found all the fabric I need except for one more yard of a black fabric with little skeletons all over it. I fussy cut jolly rogers out of another fabric I found. I needed 44 of them cut 4 1/2 by 4 1/2. I barely got what I needed out of the fabric I had. For a 120 inch by 120 inch there'll be over a thousand pieces.
