Placemats for the Springtime

It's a crazy time in the world, but at least nothing is stopping me from quilting!  This set of 8 placemats is made specially for my sister!  They are cheery and bright, just right for the soul!

Purim means Springtime is not far behind

Winter never really came to Jerusalem this year.  There was lots of rain, but not really cold, wintry days.  And now with the corona virus turning our lives upside down, things seem so very out of place.  It's funny that when springtime comes you usually want to get out of the house!  But instead I am feeling that I want to stay home and hibernate.  So, right away I turned to my quilting projects and I finished this twin bed quilt as a gift for a friend's daughter. 

It is made in the "scrappy" style, combining purples, green and gold   The scrappy style is actually a version of the classical 9-patch.  If you look closely, you can see that each square is made up of 9 pieces, albeit cut in various directions.

Here it is!!
