| Confetti Squares |
I made this little quilt in Alaska when I visited Scott, Dalena and Freya, and Torrin was born while I was there. I used the last of the triangle squares from the Tree Cover quilt and some blue fabric that I bought in Homer. It is backed with a remnant of super soft fleecy fabric that we found at an outdoor clothing manufacturer in Homer. The star in the middle is dark blue with yellow stars on it and the center dark square looks a little bit like the Big Dipper. It doesn't have a label other than words and date written in permanent marker on the front.

There is no batting in this quilt, but I had to secure the fleece back to the front. I stitched in the ditch.

| Bear Paw |
Bear Paw is a doll quilt I made in Homer with scraps I brought from home, more half-square triangle units, and bordered with fabric I purchased in Homer.

Windy 9-Patch is the first doll quilt I made in Alaska. It was made from little 9-patches left over from Jamie's Desert Rock Star quilt.
I sewed and quilted these quilts using Scott's little Singer Featherweight, sitting at the kitchen counter with my feet and the foot pedal propped on a cardboard box. My granddaughter Freya helped.
