My Cozy Collection

 Each month I try to feature a 

different Queen sized quilt on my bed. 

The goal is to have a collection of 12 that 

I can rotate throughout the year.  The halfway point was 

reached but like a good recipe,

 my quilts get shared

 so my cozy collection is very variable!

Here is my collection so far:

 I am a holiday lover and this quilt

was in the making for quite a few years.

It started out in a magic tiles class. Then it sat. The magic tiles

 technique calls for a set of nine colors 

 used to a make the blocks.

 I ran out of a few colors and 

it was not the season to get shiny holiday fabrics

 

so it had to wait even  longer. Life got in the way and

 

it fell into the UFO singularity.

Then I stumbled onto a tutorial by Missouri Star 

for a tile like block and voila!  I finished this off with 

a braided border. I used the long braid created

 

by Missouri Star instructions for each big border and

only cut off a few tile blocks to finish off the corners.

This quilt actually sneaks onto my bed in mid November. 

We really enjoy the winter holiday season!  

Winter Strings was a Pando (covid) project.

It has a double batting in it to keep us

nice and comfy during the winter months.

I had made a lightweight one to 

use during the summer because I liked

 the look of it and it really cut down on my string piles. 

Alas, there was an auntie in a neighboring province 

who was quiltless, and off it went.

This alien quilt, reminiscent of the sliding doors 

on the Starship Enterprise,

was one of my favorites.

This favorite is now appropriately

residing in California's silicon valley with two big brains!

This one was picked for a wedding quilt

as soon as the binding was on.

It will definitely be remade because it's a beautiful finish

and I have strings of plenty.

I've managed to hold on to this one. 

It had some construction issues so it's a bit delicate.

It won't ever be offered up for gifts or rehoming.

This lives in a new home in Leduc.

The First Born scooped this one up for 

a house warming gift for a lifelong friend's new home. 

 They are delighted with it so 

it is being well used and well loved.

Big Red , Pineapple and Scrap Stars 

are safely guarded in the closet behind 

the good china while the floors are being redone. 

Along with one of my first quilts,

they are safe at home for now. 

Keep working on more cozy quilts.

Stay safe and Sew on!
