I am participating in Katja Marek's "Quilt with me - Blocks on the Go for Quilts on the Grow" It is comprised of Hexies found in her book "The New Hexagon". You make one quiltlet a week and she has an extra block every month. These are my blocks for January and February. I am having a lot of fun with this!!!

A Quilt for my Mom
Prism Pyramid Quilt
Here is my completed Prism Pyramid Quilt. It is not the same as the picture I found...

...instead of the fabrics all sewn together, I decided I liked the way it looked to break them up into 3 columns. I think it gives the quilt more of a stained glass look.

Finished projects!
I have been working on finishing a bunch of my projects so I will have a pretty long post :)
First are some placemats: The red and black placemats are for my daughter, Jessica and the other 2 were samples used in a class I taught at guild.

Now I have 2 tablerunners to show you: The first one is made from leftover pieces from all the 2 1/2" strips I have been using to make quilts lately. I saw this at Barbara's 2013 sew-in. The second one is made from the leftover blocks from two other quilts I made using those same 2 1/2" strips.

Newest Creation
I just came back from a quilt retreat and this quilt is what I made during that wonderful weekend.
The quilt was inspired by a picture in the Keepsake Quilting catalog for a quilt named "Prism Pyramids" and the quilt in the catalog was made from pre-cut 2 1/2" strips of hand dyed fabric. I had just gone through my hand dyed fabric before I saw this quilt and had cut 2 1/2" strips from a lot of the yardage I have. I have been playing with 2 1/2" strips in an attempt to use up some of my stash. So when I saw this quilt, I was inspired to create my own. The black sashing was added after I had sewn together the sets of 60 degree triangles into three columns. I have almost enough scraps left over to make a scrappy border around the whole quilt. After I get it quilted, I will bind it in black fabric to finish off the frame and then it will hang in our bedroom. When you enter our house, you will be able to see most of the quilt as you look down the hallway.
