Quilting

[crazy4orcas]

shenshen77 and I have been chatting about quilting recently and she mentioned wanting to see my quilts.  So, I thought I would post some pics of some.  I have a bunch of quilts in various stages of being, and I've only finished a couple of table runners and a couple of wall hangings.  I am about halfway done with the piecing part of one I'm going to use as a bedspread (twin sized) and that's my largest project so far.



Here's a wall hanging that the directions called a Memory Quilt. The buttons in the corners are from my dad's Navy uniform and you can see a pair of his Lieutenant's bars too.



This is another wall hanging, a rag quilt of the American Flag:



Wall hanging or lap quilt I've called "A-BUZZ About Autumn":



Wall hanging or lap quilt that still needs the binding sewn on (it will be black). I'm still trying to come up a clever name for this one, any ideas?:

Amazing. The first one particularly sings to me...

Thanks! I forgot to mention it, but the white side panels on the Memory Quilt came from my mom's wedding dress. I've got buttons from some of the clothes my mom made me as a kid to add to the quilt too.
