Anyway, all the fabrics are from my stash and my students sewed them together. We decided that we will add two rows and then the top will be won at a lottery by one of the students.
That way, I can get rid of some of my older fabrics (and have a excuse to buy some more!).
The second quilt is an older quilt I started at a retreat where we were supposed to sew something free cut. The retreat was a lot of fun (sorry no picture there as it was way before digital camera time!) and I tried some new to me colour combinations. The top came very fast together but the quilting lasted a bit longer!
I am especially happy about the purple as it brings some warmth although it is not my sort of colour at all!
The quilt hangs now in our staircase.
I could not help starting on a new pair of socks, this time for my DH with a new method from the toe up. The first one has a few mistakes. The explanations were in english (or should I say english abbreviations!) which I have some problems to understand and a lot of stitches were new to me too. But I think the second one will turn better. Pictures next week!
I wish you a restful creative week-end!

What a great idea. Which ever student wins that quilt will surely carry those memories with them for a long time. It is very pretty.

That is such fun block and alternate gives a really cool design. i saw it on someone's blog also, but don't know who. Maybe they will come visit! Good luck with your class--it looks like a fun project!

Wow, Love your Liberated log cabin! I love the fan quilting and fun to see your stitches!!
I always wanted to try "Liberated" method and Your quilt pushed me a inch closer to do it! :-D
I love the quilt you did with your students - really nice effect. One for The List, I think.
ooh, love that liberated quilt, and gorgeous fan quilting too.
Love the quilt you are making with your students. Whoever wins it will be very lucky.
