Four Strip Twist quilts done for Christmas gifts. The Grand daughters get a quilt for each birthday. But I have not done the significant others in their families. Four quilts to make in less than 2 weeks. (that is when the idea hit me).
I did it!!!
Well...the black/red/white one (that I finished minutes ago) still needs to be quilted but I can knock that out in one day.
I made two green quilts. I made 20 blocks each. The quilts finished at 60 X 76.
I only made one blue one. It also is 60 X 76.
These three quilts were made with 2 1/2" strips per Bonnie's pattern.
This black/white/red quilt was made with 2" strips and I made 24 blocks. I also controlled the fabrics. Meaning I used only four fabrics.
I finally used up this white RocLon muslin. 50 yards!!!
Where did they all go?
I have not used white -white in any quilts for eons.
I am thinking I must have used this for many backings in the very beginning of my quilting journey.
Bess is so hard to get a photo of. She is so dark that she blends into everywhere she lands. I lucked out today she was sitting in the sunshine.
Lucky Lucy is getting bigger every day. And taking more naps. So I am able to run the sewing machine a bit longer before she comes to "help" me.
I am also cranking out these baby afghans. 30" square. Made from Bernat Baby Sport yarns. No homes for these yet as the next great grand baby is another boy.

I love your four strip twist quilts! I might have to find that pattern!
Good to "hear" from you! I always love when there is a new post from you as the quilts are always so lovely and inspiring!

they are fabulous! And adorable kitties, too. Happy Holidays.
Was wondering where you were...Love the Strip twist pattern too..... I have one all kitted up in CW fabrics..All your cats are just beautiful, love seeing pics of them..
You've really been busy! I had better add Bonnie's strip twist quilt to my list of quilts to make. I have a great niece and a great nephew coming in the new year that I have to make a quilt for. I guess I'd better get started on them!
Beautiful quilts! Your family is very lucky to receive such treasures.
