There will be random thoughts about dyeing, marbling and quilting. Hopefully there will be some information that is new to people. Nature is my inspiration and because of that, I reserve the right to publish lots and lots of pictures of animals, birds, butterflies and plants!

Still Making Comfort Quilts!
Trying to use up the bags of miscellaneous strips that I brought from NC and I am absolutely sick of looking at them and the pile never gets smaller! I may do the unforgiveable and just heave them!
I had a couple of huge bags of purple 45 degree triangles left over from a quilt I made in 1998!! So I decided that I would make a purple version of the "blue bagel" quilt I made a couple of years ago. I did have to cut up the light colored background pieces though as well as some of the corners. This is a closeup of the block so I will remember it the next time I make this quilt!!
I decided to do something a little different with this one. I get bored easily!! So I added yellow in two corners so I would end up with flowers of a sort! I had to hold myself back from adding light green in as I do love the purple/green/yellow combination.
And here it is -- the finished top! I do like the combination and may do this again.
I didn't even touch the lighter purples in the previous quilt but thought they would be nice for a baby quilt. This is using the medium purples. I intended to put it together like the previous one but accidentally twisted tthe upper left hand corner and decided I liked the look so twisted all the corners. It then gave me an idea for yet another variation which I will try some day. Surroundind the four inner bagels is somewhat of another circle in white. I am thinking I will vary either that color or the pieces in the center of the four bagels!
