Mom made this quilt top. She purchased the kit at Road to CA in 2015. I backed the quilt in light blue furry minkie. I did a stipple in the quilt center except for the panels which I outlined the animals. In the outer border I did Leah Day's Whirlpools, on the inner border I did swirls.

Road to CA 2016
Mom, Karen and I had a great time and once again purchased too much. I got two projects, Forest Friends which is normally a block of the month buy Karen and I are going to make it together. I'm doing the warm colors for both of us and she is doing the cool colors. The plan is to have our 1/2 completed by Road to CA next year. We purchased the back ground fabric at M&L Discount fabrics.
The 2nd project is a paper piece project by Sassafras Lane called Empire Place. I got the color solids at Road to CA show and the black, grays and white at M&L Discount Fabrics. I plan not to start this one until I complete Arcadia Avenue which I'm not even half way done.
Mom got several kits. I get much of my quilt thrills through the tops she does because I get to help her start most and see them progress over time. Some of the kits are: Matrix, flannel wolf; flannel forest animals (woman who we purchased the kit from was very pushy about buying the backing fabric from her ... almost didn't buy kit at all). A red, white and black ribbon quilt, couple of kid quilts with bugs.
We didn't want to buy anymore stuff on Saturday (after going to M&L) so we went to the movies and saw the new Star Wars movie. Great movie.

Pirate's Treasure
Jan 18, 2016
I made this quilt top many years ago. I think it was a sweet treat from Pincushion Boutique. The pattern was Mystery Sampler in the Fat Quarter Quilts by M'Liss Rae Hawley (pg 50). I like this pattern because you design your own quilt but there is still structure. Great for newer quilters wanting to stretch beyond the pattern.
I quilted the center with 5 large X with a meander connection between. I then echoed around the X s and meander lines. In the black boarder I used Leah Day's Spiral Tree and the outside boarder was quilted with a stipple.
Size: 63 x 81
