Quilt Names

What's in a name???  I have made quite a lot of quilts and have only named one.  Why is it when I go to think of a name for my quilt my mind draws a big blank? All I see are the beautiful fabrics and the love I've put into this beautiful creation but a name for it is never easy ( in fact down right painful so I skip it). All that comes to mind for the following quilt is Zigzag Boats...not very creative huh?  Anyone out there want to help me give this quilt a name?  If so please just leave a suggestion in my comments and I'll at least have more of a clue than I have now.  It is for my great-great nephew that is three days overdue. So pressures on to get this done and on it's way to him.  All I need to do is wash it with a color catcher and put a quilt label on it...sure would be nice if it had a name.

If you can help me out, I sure would appreciate it. I'll show you the back when I get the quilt label created and put on the back.  In the meantime I've started a new top.  I am making it for a raffle event my work is having to raise money for our company Christmas party.  Every other week each department is putting something up to raffle off and the winner is chosen on Wednesdays.  So far they started off with 24 egg rolls which raised $68.00, then a movie basket which raised $86.00, this week was a 6hr-3 winery bus tour for two for a net profit of 126.00. So far they've earned $280.  My quilt will be in anchor position on October 17th. I'm going to add a couple more borders. One of which will be about 4 or 5 inches wide and I will have all the employees sign it the week before the raffle.  It's off to a great start...check it out

I tried to create wonky star blocks but had difficulty so I used this pattern from the Quilter's Cache called the uneven star.  It is paper pieced and I think the black/white and white/black print are striking with the bright colored stars. You can get a copy of the pattern here

I've been busy in the sewing room this weekend and will show you what I've been up to in the next few days. I will have a lot of explaining to do. How come I never have enough time in my day to get around to all I need to get done?  I do want to mention that along with all my other things to get done in the quilt room I now have another project in the waiting line.  During the last quilt blog hop I also won a pattern for a Goldilocks and the three bears pattern which is stunning.  I look forward to making this quilt for the next little girl to come into a my circle of friends.  You can see the project I'm talking about at Bubblestitch Quilts.  Cyrille has a great talent for designing some wonderful quilts and blocks that are paper pieced.  I can't wait to start picking out fabrics for this beauty.  She also has an adorable Red Riding Hood set of patterns and a nice deer and bear that I'll have to find time for also.
Right now I have to find time to finish a Zig Zag quilt I threw together last weekend for my great-great nephew arriving in July.  Grayson will be the first boy born in my family for 44 years so we are all looking forward to greeting this little guy.  Here is a sneak peek at the top:

This is a gorgeous picture but as you can see the quilt top is upside down. Just imagine it flipped around so the boats aren't standing on their tops.  I chose all nautical prints and since his due date is July 10th the red, white and blue may be very appropriate as well.
