Scrappy quilts




I have two more quilts to send to my quilter Glen in Oklahoma. The Bear Trails in blue and white. The was made with the help of my Justquilting friends, they sent me blues so I could make it scrappy. Those are 12 inch blocks. I can't recall the border size, maybe 6".




The other one, the scrappy one, those are 4patch-9patch blocks I won in the Block of the Month we do each month at Justquilting. I really like how it turned out.




I discovered that I like control scrappy. LOL, there are several great patterns on http://www.quiltville.com/ Bonnie Hunters site.

The Passage to Manhood-The Kappa Alpha Brotherhood at VA TECH


As some of you know, my son Adam attends VA TECH, but he is also a member of the Kappa Alpha Order. They are not called a fraternity. Anyway, I've been wanting to make him a quilt to combine the two and I finally came up with a design that I am very happy with. It measures 83 inches by 83 inches. The center is the KA cross, I used VT fabric, orange and crimson in the 32 blocks. A thin border of the same old gold in the cross, the VT fabric and it will be bound off in black.
It will cover a queen size mattress boys! And hopefully snuggle you in my love and prayers.


His Big Brother was and absolute God send for me, Patrick. So, I made him one also. I have to send them off to Glen to be quilted yet. Adam was disappointed that I would not be quilting it.


I sure hope Adam and Patrick like it! Made with a lot of love.
