Paisley Quilt Blocks Done

 I am in color Heaven, I love it ! !  

I took a traditional pattern, change the piecing up and then added color.

There is no complicated piecing here.

The color adds the complication.

Piecing Paisley

I'm in the sewing room and working with the paisley fabric. Fabric picks

I've always thought about doing a contest piece and I think this will be a try ?

I use the "How to method"  - HERE

There will be a traditional pattern, but the rest, it's going to be me, not for a book, not for sell, not for anyone BUT me !

I need an all about me project, it's been a very long time.

Please notice, that NONE of these patterns, colors are textbook, but they work. ! !

It will be machine pieced, hand appliqued and hand quilted. It will not be done tomorrow and that's alright, I need to start taking me time.... again!

Quilts Pattern used in Stain Glass Windows

 Thank you all for asking about the stain glass.  These are on the windows in our
family room/guest room. I did three of them.

Window One

I've taken stain glass classes and I love the idea of it, but the doing the whole hot thing, is not for me. I designed the patterns, cut the glass, and on purchased frames I laid out the pieces, glued them all down (glass glue) and grouted them with gray grout.

Window Two

Window Three

Each frame measures 32' x 32' and they are very heavy.
They are hung with screws through the frame, so they can't fall.

The natural light comes through them all day and all are on the same light switch for night, making them glow.

One of my favorite blocks, the glass is wonderful.

You can do so much with quilt blocks.
