String quilt:
I'm assembling the latest string quilt, this one done in autumnal colors.
Whirligig quilt:
It's slowly coming along. I did assemble a couple of blocks with all the company, but it was much more fun chatting and doing field trips with them.
And then, because I need a new project like a hole in the head, I have forced myself to make another exploding block quilt. I made one of these as an I Spy quilt for little Benjamin (who is now 4 and not so little and never stops talking). I'm using 2 different layer cakes plus some odd and end charm squares, and I'm using Civil War-ish colors, not my usual at all. I generally eschew reproduction prints; I like bright and lively, but last year I fell in love with some fabric lines and bought a few layer cakes (all on sale, of course). I'm thinking this might be a perfect winter quilt. At any rate, I'm enjoying stepping out of my usual fabric choices.

your quilts are all coming nicely! I find it so hard to piece and quilt when others are around - it is too distracting, most times it gets put aside while the visiting is going on.
Oh I love string quilts too..I usually do mine on muslin squares for a lighter throw or lap quilt...love your colors in this one...hugs, Julierose
The Civil War-ish repro fabrics work nicely with your quilt.. and so many colors and prints keep it lively. I certainly don't need more fabric but seeing these repros tempts me.
