I got these blocks sewn together into a top too while I was in the basement. I washed a load of flannel for our church preemie project so I was down there babysitting my 38 year old washing machine and kept busy with fabric fun. I also cut fabric for 2 friends and will be able to mail it out on Monday.

Wow you were productive. I like the log cabin quilt top. The applique doesn't even look like you would be interested. I know to promote the cause of quilting. Our tastes change also. Have fun with your finds. Chris
LOL, amazed you have an applique project like that, I don't think I have ever seen an applique from you during the time I have been following you!
I agree, the applique doesn't look like anything you would do. I think we try many things while finding our true style.
Is she a Maytag? I love how the square in a square piece looks like it is shimmering...like it is on the ground beneath a tree with the sun streaming through in places. Very cool!
Oh, yes, our taste in fabric and projects changes! That doesn't look a bit like you now.....
True, your lovely blue and green and quilt is not as exciting as the red, orange, pink and yellow. But I love both quilt tops.
The applique leaves are very nice, but I agree with Gene. Not you.
That leaf quilt sure is a lot of applique, but it's pretty. I still like that blue quilt top.
I love how two of your log cabin blocks have the neutral and the reds reversed. It creates a lot of interest.
I love how you oriented the blocks in your log cabin ... that sure came together quickly!
The applique . . . perhaps it belongs on your other blog where someone new can take it home and finish?
Oh I love your applique quilt (but then I started quilting many years ago because of applique lol). I think you should finish it! The square in a square is beautiful the colors shimmer.
uber-exuberant color i'd say...love the batiks AND the log cabin...stunning!
Will you chop up what is finished and make it into something else?
I like the layout where there are no seams to match! I never thought of that. I always went for symmetrical! I did a leaf quilt top. It is waiting to be quilted. not sure I would do it again!
Another great weekend post ! Am I missing something...? All the seams look matched to me. And it looks wonderful.
And the brilliant colorful blocks is truly a work of art.
And your find of leaves...it has the quaint feel of days gone by and I love it. I am very nostalgic.
I see it is 22 degrees in Sandwich right now and a 'Real Feel' of 9 degrees. (*._,*) How bout a true temp of 9 degrees it has warmed up since early morning of -5.

Love that top quilt...the colours are so fresh and vibrant.
Love both of the first two, the third.......not your usual exciting style at all. I have confidence though that you could turn it into something exceptional if you put your mind to it.
I was reading an article today re whether we should finish all starts or whether some have a Best Before date. I have a few I can't decide on! Maybe the vine piece could be cut in half and made into cushion tops!
This looks like a great carry around project. I have some of those backgrounds and now intend to start one of my own. Thanks for the inspiration.
Oh, I like the leaves quilt. I remember that book but have not seen it for a while.
It is so much fun to find things. On Friday, I found some blocks I made about a year ago, and then put aside. Now I will have a quilt top completed in a couple of days. However, I know I won't find anything from the 70's because I didn't start to quilt until 2000.

While the leaves quilt doesn't look like "you" know, I can see how it would have been at one time.
Oh, my -- I love the reflections on water quilt! And the log cabin is fabulous.
The appliqué project doesn't look like a Wanda quilt at all!
