Quilts In Progress

 My quilt "Nebula" is almost completed. 

Here is a close up picture of the quilting in "Nebula".


 Here I am saftey pin basting a quilt I finished piecing of Terry's (husband) great, great aunt.  The pieces of this quilt were cut out and placed in a box and later sold at a family auction.  Terry's cousin bought the box of pieces and years latter saw she would never finish the quilt.   She gave it to us hoping some day it would get finished. Now it is pieced and I am ready to hand quilt it.

I need a name for this quilt that I just put the binding on.
  Any suggestions?

    The traveling diamonds look like Jet Trails to me. Beautiful quilts, beautifully done.

    Just off the top of my head, I'm thinking "Meteor Shower".
    I really like your Nebula and the Dresden Plates as well.

    Nebula quilt is just perfect. The last picture seems to be deep in sea and sea creatures make patches in it. I love it both.

    Your quilt could be called Out of this World Irish Stars. It is kind of like an Irish chain meets a star quilt.

    My mother has a Dresden Plate quilt that was pieced by her grandmother. Her grandmother wasn't able to do the quilting on it before she passed away, so when my mom inherited the top, she had it quilted. Mom was never much for sewing, even though she comes from a family of sew-ers. She claims that the quilting gene skipped a few generations and ended up with me!

    Your quilts are beautiful and the stitching on Nebula is fantastic. All of the little diamond shapes in the stars remind me of lights, so I think Starlite might be a good name.

    "Congratulations!" "Thank you" for showing us the close up of your lovely
    quilt Nebula. "Star Zingers" immediatly came to me for your unnamed quilt.
    I so enjoyed becoming acquainted with you and your family, your heritage
    quilt and your Mother's beautiful painting.

    All I can say is you always inspire me so much and since I've had to be out of blog land for awhile I have a lot of catching up to do on your blog! I'm not going back to read everyone's but yours is not negotiable. :)
