Canyonlands and Spools

There is some noticeable quilt lag as I finished these earlier in the year, but I need a sidekick for more photos of my most recent work and haven't gotten to photographing it yet.

The red spools quilt is finished. It is very, very red. Maybe even a little too red.

These spool blocks were really fun to make. I am tempted to make one of these in blue or green. Something a little easier to live with than the red.

I love the way this Canyonlands quilt turned out. The scrap triangles contrast with the curves and their colors add just the right amount of lift to the autumn colors of the curved arch blocks. It works. It is hanging on the wall in my office.

I have been doing a lot of machine quilting, and I have 3 quilts in the binding process. Lots of hand-stitching in my future. I am swearing off starting any new projects for a bit. I want to finish machine quilting 3 charity quilts by the end of the year, and complete some other projects that are already under construction.
