Quilt, quilt, and another quilt

What's better than making one quilt? making 3 quilts, at the same time. I don't think I'll ever do this again, it was a little overwhelming. But I just couldn't help myself. It's like reading a book. I start one, then find another one I like and start that, and soon I find myself with several half-read books.
I thought it would be really cool to make a "twister" quilt for the kids, so I did it. I didn't have any pattern, so I had to sort of create my own. Luckily a twister board is not too complicated. I stippled this one really close together. The kids love it. and after a good game, they can all cuddle up on the couch with it... Then I made a 4th of July quilt. July is usually when we're putting blankets away. But we love to celebrate America all year round. I didn't have a pattern for this one either, but Shawn (my mathematician) helped me figure out a layout with the fabric I had on hand. I used Moda's Zippity Doo Dah. It turned out to be pretty big. I got excited (maybe a little too excited) when I found a jar of these buttons at a thrift store in California for $1.50. They say "United States 1776" How cool is that? Okay, my star isn't perfect and the button isn't exactly in the middle, oh well. Last week I finally finished this quilt for my Mom's birthday. I made it with a Cotton Blossom layer cake by Moda. It's not stippled in these pictures, I did that later.
I think from now on I'll try to stick to one project at a time.
I recently came home from Fabric Depot (the best fabric store in Oregon, maybe the world!) with these Amy Butler fabrics. I can't stop looking at them. You know you have a problem when you sit and drool over fabric and subject your husband to hours of talking about all the things you could make with it. He loves me though, at just acts interested!
