Fabrics for Cross and Key quilt

I received additional fabrics for Cross and Key quilt. Now to add accent fabrics, I think I may use batiks to create a stained glass border around medallion. Check back for updates. Vacation this week, going to San Diego for grandson's graduation from USMC bootcamp. We are very excited, my husband, Once a Marine - Always a Marine is looking forward to walking those hallowed grounds again. Way back in 1966 his family and girlfriend (me) were not able to travel from Oklahoma to California for graduation. So this is a once in a lifetime trip. We are so proud of him following in his granddads footsteps.

USMC quilt

I made the Marine Corps quilt for my husband Dale who served 1966 - 1970. This quilt will be used as covering on the seat of his 1951 Ford truck. I will post pics from the car show he is going to. Large squares and lots of borders. I will have to make bound splits for the seat belts to be used. Cotton corduroy is the backing.

New project Lizzie Mae's Medallion

Today I started the applique for Lizzie Mae's Medallion, all adhered and ready to machine applique. It has been over a week since I did any sewing, my youngest daughter was home for a visit and the whole family had a wonderful week! All went home this weekend, so I started a new quilt today, Lizzie Mae's Medallion. I decided to do the applique by machine. I have been collecting the fabrics for several months, my plan is to make it by the pattern ( I have never made a quilt by a pattern before) but will add my own touches to personalize the design with additional pieced borders. Since I usually draw my design layouts and work out the kinks as I go along, I hope this will go quickly. Wish me luck!
Happy Quilting,
Colleen
