Orange Crush

I have taken my time about getting this post up for a few reasons......

I was hoping to have orange crush in a box ready to mail, but that is not the case, it still sits there waiting while the box is on the other side of the room, also waiting.

I have been busy with a preschool class...it was about an hour away and took up two full days. But that is done now. The next class is in August.

I wanted to make sure I could spell "marguerita" correctly.

The first quilt up is Orange Crush. It needs to be mailed to Maddie's older sister. She likes orange....

After finishing this quilt, I decided I like orange too....it is now one of my favorite colors. The pattern comes from Bonnie Hunter........ http://quiltville.com/orangecrush1.shtml/

It was a mystery, I had no idea what I would end up with. I did change the blue areas to purple. I didn't have that much extra blue at the time and I like purple. I did wimp out on the border. It could have been bigger but I was using what I had.

I fell in love with this pattern. While it is many small pieces, it still goes fairly fast to sew it all together. My middle son (who would like to be called Cornelious) is the recipient of the second quilt. He likes lime green and that is how the next quilt came to be....

I called it Marguerita 'cause of the green and I see my little dog Ozzy is in this picture (that is his real name, he didn't care if used it).....now I need to go check on the correct spelling of Cornelious, it doesn't look quite right.
