The Mini-Mavens challenge for 2019 is Embellishment. I had done the fish years ago when learning thread painting. I had the yarns saved over the years for underwater scene. The shells were purchased at Legacy and I wanted to try some beads so those are the air bubbles.
This bird fabric was free. I wanted to try this pattern. July 2019.
Several of us made ourselves a challenge of making Elizabeth Hartman's Awesome Ocean. I had bought the border fabric a year ago in Grass Valley and really wanted to use it on this project so selected purple and olive as the color ways of the animals. I used a variegated (aqua to blue) background. That required more planning on cutting out the background for each animal. It was a bit difficult. I also modified the seaweed from the original pattern. Finished quilt top in July 2019.
Mom and I took this Elizabeth Hartman class at Sister in 2017. I had not read the pattern/instruction well and did not bring background fabric. We did have this black fabric in the car so it became the background. Even Elizabeth like the night look of this quilt. Mom and I got one flamingo done in class. I completed the second and quilt top in early August of 2019. Sold the quilt top at the August fabric sale.
I bought this Maui based fabric while in Maui last December and made this Puzzle Box blocks with Hawaii appliqued in the center in September. I want to give this to a good friend as a Healing Quilt by this December. Got to get it quilted quickly.
I wanted to make a quick quilt and this pattern seemed perfect to use this butterfly panel. I started this while at the Hen House retreat in September.
I've wanted to try this pattern and our guild had a instructor teach it using the Sew Kind of Wonderful ruler and pattern. I borrowed the ruler as I wasn't sure I was going to like it. The I used some of my many 5 inch square scraps. I was not happy with the results. Finished top in October.
I bought this Lattic Pattern while on our Oregon road trip in June. I also bought the multi color background fabric on that trip as it is a companion to the dog panel I already had. I worked on this while at the Hen House retreat and completed the quilt top in October. Sold the top in October.
This is Kathryn Kerr's 365 Block Challenge. I started this on Jan 1, 2019 in efforts to keep me quilting even while my personal life was in major upheaval. I used scraps. Most blocks are 3 1/2 or 6 1/2 inches. I have donated the quilt top to my guild in November.
The center was a pattern called Split Charm and I used some fabric I had bought in Grass Valley in May of this year. The border is based on the Mini Wonderful Curve ruler and the book. Finished quilt top in Nov.

This was Quilt Club's 2017 block of the months. Blocks with US state names in the title of the block. I made from scraps. I was stuck for several months on what to do for borders. I finally just went with flanges and different width to make the top into a rectangle instead of a square. I finished the top in December.
I started this top last month. I wanted to become more proficient with the Mini Wonderful Curves ruler and use the book I had purchased. The astrological pattern seemed perfect for the Lanterns and I had a fat quarter bundle that went perfectly with the panel. (December)
This was one of Mom's unfinished quilt tops, tha I completed. It was a block of the month called Sweet Tooth.
I bought a bundle of 7 panels of this horse at the Quilt Expo in Sacramento in January as there was sample of a Stack-n-whack with the panel in a vendor booth. I should have taken a picture as when I got to laying it out I could remember how the panel was incorporated in with the hexagons. The picture is of the quilt pinned and ready to quilt.
