No pattern / own design. Rail fence technique baby/pet quilt / chair quilt. 2 x jelly roll (I used 1/2 of the colours and was able to make the same print travel per chevron), bumped up the white with yardage. Border added to 43 inch width - so I can fit on 1 length of yardage (quilting cotton is 44 inch). Moda jellyroll an older collection was 1/2 the price as they are now! Binding is 5 x polkadot strips. Ochre gingham border. Sunflower print backing Benartex. Batting: Hobbs poly down, this quilt is quite thick, sometimes this batting is very thin. Serpentine stitch rectangle grid 2 by 4 inch, I usually do 2 inch grid, but actually this is fine. *Photos in May.
Vintage embroidered placemats made into a quilt. I had 12 but used 2 for pockets in a tote bag. Then I added fabric scraps I had on stash and yardage on stash, one of the blue-grey florals is 2nd hand yardage. Own design, no pattern.

No pattern / own design. 50 by 51 inch small throw, picnic or babyquilt. This is the remainder if the Love Lily Moda jelly roll (I donated the pink and purple).

I had only blue and red, and added another 2 strips of red from stash.
