I have been working on several quilt tops recently.  Here are a few pictures of what I have been up to.  This pattern is a rail fence and I have decided to make the rail 3 1/2" x 1 1/2".  What was I thinking when I started this.  Crazy I know but it is getting done.




And here is another project I have started.  It is a 15 1/2" square which makes into this beautiful creation. 





And after all of that I sit down in my recliner and start working on these.  They are English Paper Pieced or EPP for short.  This one is for my daughter whenever I manage to get it finished.  This one is going to take a while. 
So that is what I have been up to.

Well it has been a while since I posted anything on the blog.  I have been very busy starting a lot of UFO's....LOL!!!! But here is my latest finish for my second cousins new addition. 
Here is a close up of the block.
She is an Ohio State Fan.  So the fabric is Ohio State.  It turned out very well I think.

After about 28 years I finally got a picture of the very first quilt I ever made.  I gave it to my mother-in-law and hadn't seen it in years.  But here it is in all it's glory.  A large Bow-Tie, made from double-knit that I had inherited from my grandmother, Rosy Lee Caudill Trusty. 
My mother-in-law like it so I gave it to her.  It is a one of a kind and is about full-sized.

Been busy here with the Holidays.  But finally took the time to finish this quilt top.  I thought I would never get the top to completion but today, Jan 1, 2018 it is finished.  Now to quilt it.  Not sure exactly how I want to quilt it as of yet.  Thinking on that one.  I will hand quilt this one, and not machine quilt it. 
It is massive.  The measurements are 120" x 136".  Big enough to fit my king size bed with comfort.  That is what the hubby wanted.  It is made up of 42 - 12 1/2" grandmother's fan blocks and 1168 squares cut at 3 1/2".  Will get quilted this year but not sure when as so many other's are taking a priority.
