Finish #4 for August 2024

This quilt is tricky to photograph.  If I use auto adjust in my editing program, it gives the pinks a blue cast so I didn't use it.

I don't feel the necessity to name every quilt but I have to have something to call it when I refer to it.  This one has just been Hearts and 4 Patches so far.  It has Hobbs 80/20 batting in it and it is 59" x 76".

I bought a couple big yardage pieces of pink prints for backings at a good sale price and this butterfly print is one of them.  The binding is an Alexander Henry deep pink stripe.

After I finished the binding and photography on that quilt I looked through some project boxes for inspiration.  I overcut...a lot of 6" triangles of Kaffe collective fabrics when I made my pink/green and pink/blue quilt tops.

I looked through the Kaffe "spot" fabrics and pulled this gray and white dots. It isn't as dark as it looks here.  This reminded me of the big pink/gray fad of 1956 when I was in high school.  I could make a zig zag quilt with these, or just an all triangle squares quilt.  It could be named 1956.

The next box has over three hundred 4.5" finished 9 patch blocks, 3 of each combination.  They were made this spring when I made this quilt top.  I closed this box quickly and put it back on the shelf.

The third box has die cut pieces that I paid someone to cut for me because I didn't have a die cutter yet.  There are enough pieces for 16 blocks.  Here is the post the last time I opened this box and the quilt top that I made with 30 sets of pieces.  I still haven't decided if I want to sew more of these blocks so this box went back on the shelf too.

I have done really well so far this year emptying project boxes and making/finishing quilt tops.  In fact probably half of the tops made were from started projects.  I might have to make a collage photo of them for my own reference.
