Machine pieced and free motion quilted. This is our guild’s 30th Quilt-In Anniversary Quilt. All of the signatures of participants are on the back, nestled in X’s. The song X’s and O’s was on the radio a lot while I was quilting it.

Silk River ReduxMelanie Anderson
Machine pieced and quilted, made from leftovers of ‘Silk River’. I love using up every last bit of fabric – hence I make small quilts out of leftovers from big quilts. Design Source – Original.
Aussie WonderMelanie Anderson
Machine pieced and quilted. This is a technique called one block wonder. All of the hexagons (except the cubes) come from one piece of fabric. I love the surprise each rendition brings.
Four Sheets to the WindMelanie Anderson
Fusing, machine piecing, beading and free motion quilting. I always love (and sometimes hate) a challenge. Wrestling other people’s fabric choices into something I can love is an embraceable challenge once a year.
Cubed SashMelanie Anderson
I cannot let a scrap go to waste. This quilt is the use of sashing for another quilt that I ended up re-sizing the sashing for. Hundreds of one-inch strips? Voila! (Machine pieced, boro stitched.)
With Thanks to GustavMelanie Anderson
One Block Wonder uses a single fabric, cut into 6 repeats, to create hexagons. I enjoy the surprise element of working through a one block wonder. (One Block Wonder)
