Borders and pieces and parts, day 5

I really am working on the border for the blue/purple crazy pieced quilt. I made a few more crazy blocks. And I made some more strip piecing.
I sliced them into 4.25" wide segments and started playing with them on the design wall. I need to make more crazy blocks to finish up.
These diamonds are leftover from the church banner which ended up being all green. I had originally thought I might make the top more like sky and then changed my mind. They will be sky in another quilt.
I had a lot of leftovers from the dotted quilt with 168 different dotted fabrics. I played around with the scraps but haven't gone back to it.
These blocks are left from the Northwind quilt that I made.
More strip piecing from dark to light. I think I just wanted to see if I could do it successfully in black and white. I'm not sure I ever had a project in mind.
And now back to the last minute cleaning for my company......

    What a treat! These have been so much fun to look at. I'm a little sorry that we've reached Day 5 and the parts show is over. Maybe you'll do it again some time.

    How do you cut your diamonds?

    When is your company arriving?

    It's better every time I come. I really love this (except the fact that it's purple). Sorry, it's just not my color.

    Your batik quilt is coming along great. Are you happier with it? I love it! And I'm also enjoying seeing all your parts and pieces. It's fun to see what other people have done. I love your dots!

    I absolutely love the blueberry sundae quilt (thats how I think of it -- a blueberry sundae!) It is utterly fantastic!!
    The dotted quilt blocks are so much fun -- might make for an interesting centre of a table runner.

    Your black and white strip example hints of an Escher drawing. Very nice.

    So much to like... the blue/purple has become AMAZING! Love the black intersecting strips in the polka dot fabrics...

    Hi Wanda
    Do you have a picture posted of the Northwinds quilt ( the dots with the black strips in it) I love it - I think it would be fun to make and wondered what the whole quilt looked like.
    You have such great leftovers- the sea of batiks and the florals are just my thing.
    Your purple quilt is a beauty.
    Regards,
    Anna
