Fly Away

Created for Project Quilting 11.4 Birds in the Air Challenge.

I knew I was short of time for this challenge, so a table topper seemed to be the thing.  I made three birds in the air blocks, then added some extra half square triangles and called it a day.

Basketball Love

Created for Project Quilting 11.3 Put a Heart on It challenge.

I saw this challenge and thought the pillow I made for my granddaughter Cedi's birthday last November would have been perfect. She loves basketball and I made her a pillow with a heart shaped basketball on it. Well, my second granddaughter, Capri, also loves basketball and her birthday is coming up later this month. So I made a pillow case for her. I changed the heart up a bit since every granddaughter is a little different. The fabric I wanted for the background had been cut into fat quarters, so I cut it into squares and sewed it back together then lined it and quilted the layers together to protect the seams inside.
