Thelma's Red and White Quilt!

Thelma of the Cupcakes and Daisies blog made this fabulous red and white quilt a while back, but I just saw the photo for the first time and want to show you in case you missed it too. She was inspired by the exhibit in New York City a few years ago: Infinite Variety. This is a sampler quilt of sorts. The quilts overlap, except for the tree in the middle. I love this quilt! Beautiful work, Thelma!

*** You can now see the Infinite Variety exhibit on YouTube! ***

Selvage Flower Table Runner

This selvage flower table runner is the creation of Elena of CarolinaSquirrell on Etsy. She lives in Texas and offers a big selection of very beautiful selvage items, hooked rugs, punchneedle, and patterns. 

I really like these leaves/petals. Selvages look so good with black and white prints, don't they?

Carol's Word Quilt and Giveaway!

Carol E. is making a word quilt. She has a few more words to go, then she's going to arrange them. Carol's blog is Giraffe Dreams. She has lots of good quilt photos there, and some book reviews as well.

"Sleep" is a good word for a bed quilt, right?

Queen Size Scrap Hexie Quilt!

Made by Karen Million of Nicholasville, KY, and SewMillionStitches on Etsy, this quilt measures 83" x 99!" The hexagons are 2" in diameter. It's hand pieced and hand quilted. The back is orange.

I've been wondering how a big scrap hexie quilt would look, and here's the answer!

Nice work, Karen!

Hexagons and Diamonds by Twoems

This hexagon print was made by Melanie Mikecz of San Francisco, CA. Her Etsy shop is:  twoems. She's also a dog-lover and a wannabe ballerina.

Wouldn't this make a gorgeous quilt? I think Melanie might love quilt-making too if she gave it a try.

I like this one too. Melanie calls it "Funky Diamonds."
