Carol Doak's 2013-2014 BOM

Carol Doak Yahoo Group Block: One Sunny Day

I am posting this as a reminder to myself to finish this mini quilt.  It is paper pieced and measures about 16" square with the border.  I plan to cut the border down to 1" and to add a more interesting fabric as a second border.  I figure that will be easier than unstitching it!   Then I will quilt it in Free Motion and finish it as a wall hanging. 

Carol Doak Royal Mini Quilt Challenge

This was a mini quilt challenge on Carol's Yahoo Group.  I cheated on this one ; it was supposed to finish at around 12" square, but I doubled the pattern size.  It makes a very nice table topper in my living room.  

It is paper pieced from batik scraps, and I quilted it in Free Motion on my Janome Horizon 7700.

Carol Doak Mystery BOM 2012 - "What's Black & White & Read All Over?"

This was Carol Doak's Mystery BOM in 2012-2013.   The patterns were shown in red and white, but I had been wanting to do a red, black and white quilt for a while, so that is what I did. The red tone on tone flowers and white (small polka dots) are mostly the same fabric throughout, but I used many different "black" fabrics.  For the back, I did some intuitive piecing to use up some of the scraps, which I learned from Angela Walters.  I quilted it in free motion with my Janome Horizon 7700 and bound it with a leopard black and white print.  I named the quilt "What's Black & White, and Read All Over?"  like the bubble gum riddle.

50 Fabulous Paper Pieced Stars Quilt with Border

I have added a 6" border in QAYG.   The quilting is a sampler, with the design changing every 12" or so.  I will post some close ups of that.
