I was going through some older magazines and came across this pattern. I had been wanting to try a curved log cabin, so decided to make this. I gave it to my sister.

Fire and Ice Bargello
Bargello patterns have always looked too complicated to me, and I'm not sure how I came across this one, but the pattern is a free one from Fons & Porter. It uses 20 different fabrics, which I pulled completely from my stash and was fun to make.
Scrappy Stars Around the Corner
The 2016 Scrapitude Mystery by Charlotte Hawkes is now in progress. Here are my fabrics:
I chose a black tone-on-tone for my background fabric and love the way all my colors "pop" against it.
Here's the completed top. I decided to add a Seminole border. It has been quilted and is on a guest room bed.

Youth Quilts
I am way behind on updating my blog. I am still doing quilts for the Foster Teens at King's Home. Here is a sampling of the ones I have done since my last post.
Paths to Faith
My ex-sister-in-law, whom I love dearly, was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I have been thinking for a long time about giving her one of my quilts and when I heard this news, I decided now was the time, but could not decide what I wanted to do. I saw a picture of a similar quilt using the Wings of Prayer panel on a Facebook page and as soon as I saw it, I knew it was the one for Barbara. I was able to track down the pattern called Paths of Faith and the panel. All done except for quilting and hemming. I know she will be very surprised and will love it!
En Provence Mystery
This is Bonnie Hunter's most recent mystery. I have mine finished except for a couple of borders I plan to add. I made a couple of changes in mine to make it a little different and less "busy" and to add more color. The centers of the blocks were supposed to be a neutral. I made mine purple. The centers of the magenta stars sashing was also supposed to be a neutral. I made mine the same magenta. Much happier with it this way. I will add a narrow yellow border and a wider magenta border.
Trickling Boxes Mystery
This is a mystery that was done through a group I'm following on Facebook called Just Us Quilters. We received a clue a month. Chose all fabrics from my stash. Completed and will be donated as a charity quilt.
