Renata has been asking what I've been up to, and I finally gathered some photos!
The purple one and the cream/red/blue are both from a BOM that was a free on-line, only I only finished 3 of the months (2 blocks of each month) for 6 blocks. Oops. So I turned them into interesting settings with things/fabric from my stash -- lap quilts for my mom and sister, which they got for Christmas this past year.
My mom's (the cream/red/blue) I did a cross setting, as she collects crosses, and quilted it sort of I guess echo quilting, framing out the cross so the lines go 90* angles along the same lines as the cross.
My sister's (the purples) I did zig zag stitch in straight lines with "spoons" quilted in (oversized spoons in the background space leading up to each pieced block), because of a poem/story she likes. She has Chiari Malformation, and has very low energy at times. There's a story around about how these various silent illnesses (things like fibromyalgia, MS, etc....) use up your energy, and how energy = spoons, and the person never knows how many spoons she will have that day, and how many spoons any one activity will take from her.
Then the last here is one I dubbed "Underwater Trip" and is a throw sized quilt for our couch, to commemorate my husband & oldest son becoming certified Scuba divers. I found an on-line tutorial for a strip-pieced Trip Around the World quilt (very fast and easy; I'll likely repeat this in other colors) and so used assorted underwater themed fabrics I'd found. I quilted it in concentric circles, using my walking foot. I love how it turned out!

thanks, guys! The 2 lap quilts were done back in November/December, and then the Underwater quilt was done over a weekend in March; that one was *really* fast to put together, thanks to the tutorial/strip piecing.
I am having fun on this journey, that's for sure!
