Linoleum Plus from Sew Preeti Quilts

Here is my first finish of 2020. I am calling it Linoleum.

First Finish!!!

Try saying "a roll of linoleum" fast if you can :-D
How did it go?

Once upon time, a long time ago I wrote this tutorial. Some of the resulting blocks became a part of Have a Minty Day quilt. And yet others waited patiently to become something.

When I saw the Cross Plus Block, I had an idea. What if the colors are reversed?
Then my leftover tutorial blocks can be made into this!!!

All I had to do was find coordinating print fabrics. Mystic ...

A Quilt for Eva from Sew Preeti Quilts

I met Eva for the first time about two years ago. She is married to Bill who started out as a co-worker but ended up being a friend. Since his retirement, they live in New Jersey.

On the Design Wall

Eva and I connected over our love of spicy food and gold jewelry. When I showed her the first of the International Sister Quilt Blocks, her response was immediate. She loved them.

Setting Triangles

This was the first year I participated in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and the International Sister Quilt Block was a perfect block for the purpose.

Piecing ...

Rough & Tumble from Sew Preeti Quilts

In summer I was working on a scrap vortex quilt.

Scrappy Goodness

Green chair fabric came from Mell

Wonkiness Galore

Finished Flimsy

Pieced Backing

Turquoise Binding

Here is the finished quilt. I named it - "Rough & Tumble"

Bright & Happy

Does it have a story?

Hmmm... it has poem :-)

I dived into my pile of scraps - old and new

long strips, odd shapes and pieces askew

There were some cute scraps from Mell

I chased after them as they tried to escape and fell

Some fabrics scream and others just mumble

But they all fit happily in this Rough & Tumble

Kinda Brave from Sew Preeti Quilts

What is an appropriate gift for a young woman who is celebrating her high school graduation, her 18th birthday and is on her way to a prestigious college?

Kinda Brave

A quilt, of course.

Pieced Backing

Did I mention that she did all this while she was fighting a debilitating disease with multiple doctor visits and hospital stays? And she also wrote a book about her experiences and published it too.

Kinda Chronic by Ashni Sethi

Meet Ashni. Better still read about her book here.

Ashni's Mom is my friend, Manveen.
I conspired with Ashni's parents in making ...
