Pattern is called Casablanca by Allison Bergquist.  So many little pieces but very fun to make.  I like the woven look of the red and gold and the tiny purple triangles. This was a good challenge for me.............

Made this baby quilt for grand daughter's preschool teacher who is expecting her first child. My daughter helped the preschool children hand dye this fabric.   They pressed real flowers onto the outer border strips.

Here are some more table toppers.  Taking a block and adding side triangles.  The binding must be narrow and cut on the bias.  I really enjoyed these smaller projects.  Idea from Julie Cefalu........the Crafty Quilter.

Another left over block .............add the side triangles to make a table topper.  I am getting great machine quilting practice on these smaller projects.  

101 MAPLE STREET.  Very sad when I finished this.  Love all the handwork.  Applique and embroidery.
