Pandemic quilting: The Fabric of Time and Space

I worked on this quilt on the patio at Gallifrey One, a Doctor Who fan convention in Los Angeles. I assembled the 36 squares and sashing at home and pin-basted it to the backing and batting. Then I just sat and sewed by hand, all the quilting, and the binding. It was very pleasant to work on, and fun to sit with other crafters and chat. The prints were gathered from various sources, I only bought two of the fabrics for this quilt, the rest were from thrifted clothing, friends' stashes, my own scrap bags. Very happy with the result.

Pandemic quilting: Color for Chloe

Made another small quilt, this one for a cousin; she requested "something colorful". Some of the fabric and thread is from our shared ancestral stash, including the vintage 70s print border. I bought nothing for this quilt; even the batting was free, from a neighbor via BuyNothing.

Pandemic quilting: Blues for Hannah

A simple quilt I made for a niece. Lots of handstitching. She requested blues and greens. The lace in the center belonged to one of her ancestors (and might have been made by that ancestor too). I didn't buy anything to make this quilt--all the fabric and thread was already in my house.

I made myself a Star Wars quilt, because I had a lot of Star Wars print scraps.
