The time has come for me to part with many of my completed tops. So today I passed three on to our Devo and Sew group to be finished as comfort quilts. These are some of my favorites; I don't remember exactly when they were made.
The first one is Granny's Stars, a pattern by Nancy Mahoney. According to my paperwork, the pattern appeared in a 2009 issue of Fons and Porter magazine. I took this class with her in 2016. I call it Baik Beauty. I finished the top at our February Loucon retreat in 2023.
Next is a Cynthia Brunz pattern she calls Geese Migration. I saw it in a magazine and simply HAD to make it. I love the progression of value in the blocks, though I was not completely successful in all of them.
And, finally, this is another one I saw in a magazine. I thought it was called Tumbling Triangles, but I can't find any documentation to support that. What looks like black is a really dark green and I used all my pastel florals for the strips.
I don't mind parting with my tops when I know they will go to a good cause. To me, the pleasure is in the making!
Oof I need to do the same thing. I am so jealous of your Geese Migration finish! You did a lovely job, it looks beautiful. I have several blocks and need to get more done. I just love that pattern.
ReplyDeleteLike Linda and you, I could stand to do the same thing. In recent years, I seem to like making blocks and quilt tops more than the actual finishing part! You've got three beautiful tops there, Libby - they'll make great quilts for someone!
ReplyDeleteAll three are beautiful quilt tops! Someone will love each of those as a comfort quilt. I have a few finished quilts that have never found a home that I'm going to donate to the guild charities, hopefully before the end of the year.
