On Its Way to Whitney

 Whitney will celebrate a birthday next week and so this quilt is for her.

 

 I used 2 Jelly Rolls of Strawberry Fields from Fig Tree Quilts by Joanna Figueroa and Bella Moda White.

 

 I used this pattern.

 

The colors in this fabric collection are beautiful. 

 

 I tried a new quilting pattern and I think it turned out very well.

 The binding is made up of different prints that I had left over.

 

The back is the beautiful yellow print from the collection.

 



The quilt measures 88 x 96 and has a Hobbs 80/20 batting.

Happy Birthday Whitney and sweet dreams as you lay under this cute quilt.

Late Wedding Gift

 I finished Miranda (daughter) and Aldo's wedding quilt today.

 It measures 90 x 90 and has a backing made up of two twin size Ikea flat white sheets.

 The batting is an 80/20 cotton-poly blend and it has been washed and dried in a delicate cycle with a Shout Color Catcher sheet so the red didn't bleed onto the white.

I did a simple stipple quilting pattern because I felt like the fabric and cute pattern is the main focus of this quilt.  The binding is a gray print from the Ruby collection.  Of course Ruby is a fabric from the fabulous Bonnie and Camille.  This quilt is soft and cuddly and I know Miranda will love it.

More Wonderland!

 I have had a"Wonderland" collection honey bun in my fabric stash for a couple of years. I didn't really have any idea what to do with it until I saw this tutorial. quiltingtutorials.com/all/summer-park-honey-buns/.  I immediately ordered a jelly roll of brown Bella Moda so I could make this quilt.  I thought this would be perfect for a baby boy because of the brown but Banner informs me that there is too much pink in it for a boy quilt.  So again, unintentionally I have made another girl quilt top.

This measures 42 x 42 and was so easy and quick to make. The only difficult part was matching up all the seams from block to block.  I love how this turned out and the Wonderland collection by Momo is one of my all time favorites.

Lily And Will!

I started a Lily and Will charm pack quilt today.  I love this cute fabric collection by Bunny Hill Design for Moda.

I laid it out, running the same colors diagonally and then started sewing it into strips.

Most of the charm packs come with 42 5 inch squares.  This works out perfect for 6 rows, 7 blocks long.

Before sewing the strips together, I pressed the seams opposite from each other.

Then I placed the pins at a diagonal at each seam.  This will hold both top and bottom fabrics in place so the corners all match up.

Tomorrow I will add borders and it will be ready to quilt. 

Spring Tablerunner!

I had some extra fabric from Banner's Scottish Star quilt so I thought I would

make a tablerunner for my mother-in-law.  This is all from April Cornell's Poetry Collection by Moda.

This looks very much like "spring" to me.  My mom-in-law loves floral prints so hopefully she will enjoy this.  I just need to quilt it and bind it and it's ready to be wrapped.

Baby Pinwheel!

I finished binding this quilt tonight. My 14 year old daughter reluctantly agreed to hold up the quilt if I didn't show her socks.  Oops, on the last picture.  Sorry Banner. I also forgot to remove my husband's boots which show in the first picture.  I'm not very good at setting up shots.   I found a picture of this quilt online in the fall and ordered the fabric and finally got around to completing it.  I used the Snippets collection by American Jane, one charm pack and the fabric for the back and the binding.  The white fabric is Bella Moda.  I quilted with white thread in a stipple pattern.  This is the first quilt I have done with Prairie Points.  They were very easy to do and really complete the quilt. 

Banner's Quilt!

I finally finished Banner's quilt.  It is made from Moda's Poetry Collection by April Cornell.  The pattern is called a Scottish Star.  I got the idea from a quilt magazine that I have had for several years.  It took me a while to get the fabric because I had to order it from several different online stores.  

I love this little quilt top.  The pink, orange and brown look so good together.  I'm going to try quilting it along the seam lines with a new template ruler that I purchased at the Cotton Shop a couple of weeks ago.
