Pineapple Quilt

As most of you don't know, I love the TV show Psych. To say that it's amazing would be an understatement and to say it's the best show on TV would be silly but it's among the top 5- still impressive. Anywho, we were watching it last night and I noticed a beauty. This beauty only got two seconds of air time but thanks to wonderful technology and fandom, a still was created:

Garden Quilt Top

 Hey y'all! Another quilt top finished - hurray! This one I'd like to give to my mother once it's done. When I was a wee lass we would plant flowers together in her flower garden, it had a weeping cherry tree at the center and looked so lovely with flowers in bloom under its umbrella-shaped branches. I was really fortunate and grew up on a gorgeous sect of land with woods as my neighbors and generous, loving parents. They inspire me everyday, with quilting and everything else.

Hey there! My computer pretty much broke and I only bought a new one just last week. No worries! I haven't stopped quilting, of course. And I've also started using starch on my fabrics but more on that at a later date.

Sunshine and Ocean Waves

Bonjour! Earlier this year I made a quilt by McCall's titled Sunshine and Marmalade. I love it and my significant other loves it because I made it but also mentioned that it's "really pink". Now, I don't think the pink overpowers the quilt but the point is that it's feminine. So I decided that a masculine counter quilt should be made, opposite colors but same pattern. Using this color chart maybe: 

Super Duper Update

Well hello blog readers! I have been away for a while and that's sort of an understatement. I completely changed my mind about the design - I wanted to do something different than the typical sampler style quilt and found a pattern on Pinterest that sparked my interest:
