A day with Ruby....

Today is the day I decided I was ready to quilt for a Friend that gave me two baby quilts to be quilted. I have one done and the second one started.
These quilts are flannel front and back. I used a star and loop pantograph. Next on the machine will be a Quilt of Valor since I can use the same stars and loop pantograph.
Here is a new picture of Scotty in my zipper box, his favorite place to sleep.

Finished, quilted and Inspected...

Chipper was kind enough to inspect my table runner, so I could get pictures taken to show you.
 This is the finished table runner. I like it so much that I am going to enter it in our Guild's Quilt Show in November.
 I just did a continuous straight line on either side of the seams with my regular sewing machine.
Here is a picture of the pattern. You also need to have a 10 degree ruler for cutting the wedges.

Played with Hexagons...

I had some free time today and decided to play with a hexagon layout. Don't think I want to do it in these colors. Maybe it would be better in black and white with bright hexagons? The hexagons are 
3 1/2" because I have a template, but if I decide to make a quilt of hexagons I may try to get a GO! cutter. I printed out some graph paper and plan to color some ideas to see what color combinations and layouts I like. Tomorrow I need to quilt two baby quilts for a friend. Then I can play some more.
