Project Quilting -- Snowball

I've had my block done for over a week; it just needed binding. This afternoon, I put binding on a quilt for my granddaughter and then attached the binding to this challenge block. About halfway through, it suddenly hit me: Today is the last day!!  Yikes--I got busy. 

My block is done. I actually worked on this shortly after the disaster in Paris. I was so sad about what had happened that it was easy to choose the colors to go with the blue. I had to use red and white, the colors of their flag. The pattern is called "Round the Twist."  I'm calling my quilt simply "For France."

Quincy Crazy Quilters 2016 Raffle Quilt

Quincy Crazy Quilters sent their 2016 raffle quilt to me a few months ago. I had so many ideas for this one, but then realized that not much would show up. Also, since it truly is a "gender-neutral" quilt, many of my ideas, which included feathers, weren't going to work if I wanted it to stay that way.

Its big, its bright, and it would look equally as good on a man's bed as a woman's. With that in mind, I decided to do the whole thing with geometrics and straight lines.

The geometric design was in the border and the center purple block--the only consistent fabric in the whole quilt!! The outside triangles got an outline.

A shot of the back...just a hodge-podge of lines!! (If you click on the pic, it will show more detail)
