My Medallion Quilt Top.....

Finally....the "giant" is done. 

It measures 99" x 83" (about 250 cm. x 210 cm.) and it is VERY BIG for my liking...
(I don't want to think about the quilting..... I'm a bit worried!!!).

But it is a sweet and pretty quilt top and I love it.

...and now...go ahead with another adventure

CELTIC SOLSTICE TOP - WIP

Missing a final border....

Where am I?

Ehi! I'm here too!!

All together!

NEW CLASS, NEW TOP....and 100th POST

Three weeks ago, I have had a new class: FREE STRIPES QUILT.

With the  help of my teacher Nichi, I have learned an easy method to make "Free Stripes blocks". A very interesting lesson....so I have wanted to realized a top. I used an eight quarter bundle that I bought last year in Paris. I used also white kona fabric for the contrast.
And this is the top:

The measures are 120 x 140 cm...........just right for a lucky child!

Now I have to begin with the handquilting!

Oh! I forgot..........this is

ROXY QUILT 100th post !!!!!!

I want to thank all my dear followers and all Blogland! I'm happy for this adventure!

After a break......

....I can show you my new work!

Kaffe Fasset HST top

This has been my first work with Kaffe Fasset  (Paperweight Collection) so I have decided for a simple block to bring out the colors and the design of the fabrics.

I made 224 HST (12.5 cm finished) using also three gray shades: a good choise to balance so many colors.

But when I finished all the blocks I had to lay out them to see the result and decide for the colors position. OK.....where?

Not on my design wall: too small!

Of course on the floor! (Our friend floor: I think that the floor is a great instrument for the quilters!)

With the help of my hub (!?!) I created my personal "design floor" : a grid with string and adhesive tape. A perfect grid with the quilt measures (about 2,00 cm x 2,20 CM)

Little by little, I composed my top, checking the colors and the measures.

I have to say...this grill has been a big trick!

I made a little squares border and now I'm working on the back of the top ......and I can say that it'll be a surprise.

T.I.T........

.....Totally Ikea Top

Last month, I had bought three cuttings of Ikea fabric.  It isn't really the same cotton like American fabric but it is 100% cotton, a bit heavier than American cotton.

Of course I prewashed all pieces.

But I had only three patterns: one solid, stripes and little cheched so........I have played with the blocks!

Squares, HST, Log Cabin, Stripes, Scraps........

I think that I will make the back with soft fleece, without internal batting, then a simple machine quilting, may be straight lines!

A new top!

I finished this top that I made during the "Second Class of Patchwork" with my teacher Nicoletta.
I learned stars, regular or improvisational, circles, mitred corners and some kind of tips.
 I'm quite happy for this work but I have understand a thing: work blocks with different measures is very difficult....at least for me!

I named it

"STARS IN THE NIGHT" Quilt Top

 Indeed.......a "bombastic" name........but I love it!!!
