'Backgammon Diamonds' was a way to use a very orange focal fabric while incorporating string quilting and large shapes. This one spent several years in an unfinished state. I like that it doesn't have a traditional block-based design.
'Modern Bones' is an experiment in using solids and limiting the number of fabrics used. I quilted pebbles and trilobites on 'Modern Bones' because it reminded me of skeletal remains.
The back of 'Modern Bones' has some nice color-blocking.
I designed the block in 'Circuit Boards' several years ago; I was short two blocks so it spent a long time as a stack of pieced blocks under my sewing table. I decided to design a new block rather than make extras of the existing blocks.

The 'McCord Vine' quilt turned out awesome.
All those hours of hand applique were worth it. The wool batting made the leaves puff up nicely.
This quilt was begun in 2015 or 2016 as part of my efforts to use up some of my fabric scraps. I sorted out pieces that were about 2 inches or smaller. Then I sorted the small scraps by color and randomly sewed them into blocks.

I am still working on piecing a quilt top from the neutral scraps that I didn't include in the '< 2-inch Scraps' quilt. It is on my design wall but I haven't made a lot of progress in the past few weeks. I am also midway through machine-quilting a blue and white UFO that I should have completed a year ago.
