I just completed a mystery quilt that was run online via Facebook page Gyleen’s Bricks, Cobblestones and Pebbles hosted by Gyleen Fitzgerald.  It was a wonderful pattern using all scraps.  The quilt was pieced in rounds about a center area – lots of fun and everyone is posting their quilts which all look so different!  I used mostly all reproduction fabric scraps for mine.  I finished quilting and binding it over the weekend and now have it on my couch – ready to watch the Oscars tonite!

Bricks Cobblestones and Pebbles Quilt

I recently joined the Vermont Modern Quilt Guild and have very much enjoyed their meetings and meeting quilters in the group.  Modern quilts are very different in design from what I historically have worked on for my quilts so it is challenging to break some of my old habits from a design perspective.

This month the challenge was do do some “minimalist” work.  I ended up using 4 colors including the background and trying to do a simple design – it looks simple but took a while!

I quilted the sample and made it into a pillow.  I needed new pillows for my couch so also made another pillow with the same fabrics.  The challenge project is the front pillow….  can’t wait to see what the challenge is for next month!
