Two favorites were finished in July. The "Other 16 Patch" was made with Marcia Derse fabrics, front, back, and binding. On this one I staggered the blocks by using half blocks at top and bottom in every other column. I think I like it better than the first few I made with the blocks in rows both horizontally and vertically. This one is 61" x 79.5".
The floral stars was in a time out for a year and half and then I made final decisions to get the top sewn together. A large percentage of the prints are from the 1990s and I have a huge collection of them in my stash. This is the third quilt this year from that bin. I even had a backing fabric from the same time period. This quilt measures 66" x 78". Both of these quilts were longarm quilted by Robin Diaz.
The Snail's Trail quilt top was fun to make. It is an easy block, in this case cut with a GO die. The blocks are 12" for a top that finished at 60" x 84". I have a backing chosen so it will be next in line to be quilted.
On the right is my Trip Around the World top made with William Morris prints. It is 63" x 77". I have the backing chosen for this one too so it may get finished in August.
I was playing around a bit with my knitting. I used lots of ends of balls of yarn for the 3 coaster size pieces. I decided to use a straight knitting pattern for the pink one instead of the diagonal knit that I usually do. That makes 30 regular size dishcloths for the year so far.
