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

A small quilt made from 36 squares, arranged in a 6x6 square; colors are black-and-white, with some pastels yellow and blue, and a purple border.; one corner is turned over to reveal a backing fabric in a different purple, with a black-and-white border.

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.

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.

A birthday gift for a young friend; all fabrics from my stash, most of them scraps from a neighbor, via Buy Nothing.

This is the fifth quilt I have ever made. A neighbor gave me all the front fabric here--and most of the squares were already cut, which was a nice bonus. The backing fabric was from a rescued bolt of old bridal material; that also came to me for free.

Made another smallish quilt, probably for gifting; shades of Turquoise, fabrics mostly from a neighbor's scraps, some of our discarded clothes, and one vintage sheet I bout around 2010. Handsewing with thread from my grandmother's stash.

It's not perfect, it's not big, but it's my first quilt and I like how it turned out. All the fabric was already in my house; most of it was from a bag of scraps a neighbor gave me. All prints feature animals.

Made for a group project with a "Hands" theme--it was quick and fun to make with my daughter
