Silk River
Flamingo FancyMelaine Anderson
Machine pieced, appliqued, quilted Participating in the Challenge is always fun. It’s always great to see all the different interpretations given the same instructions and fabric. Design Source – Original Design
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)

Machine pieced and quilted. Traditional pattern done in watercolor style. Will be a present for my granddaughter who loves purple.
AutumnGeorgia Baker
Machine pieced, leaves needle turn applique. Machine quilted. Think crisp fall days crowned with brilliant leaves but also the sun late to rise, early to bed. The dark side of the equinox.
