This Shabby Chic 9-Patch Used 9-patches found at the Stone House-Cabin Branch Show 2010 in Manassas. Libby said it came out cockeyed but it was fun.

California State Capital Floor Quilt by Ellen Patten. This quilt was designed by Ellen with help drafting from Sharyn Craig, after seeing the floor at the California state capital building several years ago, It took a couple of years for her husband to agree to let her use other colors but she still wanted to have it look like floor tiles.

Ellen also made this Red, White, and Blue quilt which she made during the snowstorm from a free pattern she found online.

Carolyn Paden created this quilt from reproduction fabrics from Glory Bound and Bonnie Blue Quilts. She got the pattern from Wednesday Night Quilt Classes held at the library a couple of years ago.
