Blue hexagons

And here's the second from the blue period. This one is based on 60 degree pyramids arranged like a kalaidoscope quilt.

It's got bits of byed-blue lace, a large crocheted doily and a small tatted one.  I crocheted the big one, Luanne made the tatted one.  They were stitched to the surface with invisible thread before quilting. 

Blue and yellow star quilt

This Lone Star quilt was made by my friend Nickey.  She asked me to quilt it because she was about to undergo open heart surgery.  I hand quilted all of the white spaces with feathers.  I haven't done a quilt with quite so much feathery stuff before and I was surprised that it didn't take as long as I thought it would.  The whole thing took about 40 hours to quilt.  The back is dark blue and the white quilting shows up and looks really cool.  L.
