Stacy's Riley Blake Quilt!

My sister-in-law Stacy made this sweet little quilt for her sister-in-law who is expecting her first baby.

Sorry about the picture, it's a little blurry.

I love the polka dots and owls, perfect for a baby boy.

The back is blue flannel(which I pre-washed) and I quilted it in a stipple pattern. Stacy gets to bind it when it gets back to her in Salt Lake.

Quilt #2

Here it is, quilt #2.  Jake had a lot of jeans so I knew that I would do a denim quilt.  I wanted the quilts to be different so I decided to do a rag quilt with the jeans.  The back is a Just Dreamy flannel by Riley Blake.  I love the combination of orange and blue.  This quilt is quite soft and snuggly be cause of the flannel. 

The Last One!

There is some debate in the family about what this quilt looks like.  Turned on its side like this, some(Miranda) think it looks like a city skyline.

Like this it just looks cute.

Do you see a profit and loss graph when it is right side up?  That's what my nephew Noah thinks.

The back is cut from a white Ikea sheet and I quilted it in a circle in a circle pattern.

As you can see I used leftover strips of Riley Blake Just Dreamy fabric.  I got this idea off of the Moda Bake Shop and then made it the size that I wanted.

It measures 36x42 and has an 80/20 cotton poly batting.  It has been washed for that antique look.  This is the final quilt made for the July Jamboree.

All-Star Quilt!

This is my latest quilt.  The fabric is from the All-Star collection by Riley Blake.

It was a simple quilt to put together.

I used "Texture Magic" on half of the print squares.  This is my favorite one.

I quilted it in a loopty-loop pattern all over the quilt except the textured squares.

I especially liked this star print.

The backing is the big polka-dot print from the collection and the binding is the brown with circles just like the sashing around the squares.  The quilt measures 40x45 and the

batting is 80/20 poly-cotton.  I think this is one of the cutest baby boy quilts I've ever seen.

Playtime Quilt!

The Riley Blake Just Dreamy quilt is finished.

The batting is an 80/20 cotton poly and the measurements of the quilt are 39x43 after washing.

The back is the small floral print from the collection and I quilted it in a circular swirl pattern.  Sorry, I forgot to take a close-up of the quilting.

This one is in the Etsy shop.

Posies in February

Here is a little bit of spring in the middle of February.

I used the striped fabric  for the binding and the small flower print for the back.

And here is why I am not taking pictures of my quilts outside.  It is 16 degrees right now we have had 2 feet of snow on the ground since the middle of December.

I really do love winter, it gives me an excuse to stay inside where it is warm and cozy and work on something fun or read a good book.

Poppin Posies!

I think this is one of the cutest quilts I've ever done.  The pattern is Poppin Posies by Izzy and Ivy.  The fabric is Just Dreamy designed by Riley Blake.  It took a day  to finish the quilt top, most of the time was spent on the center because of the applique flowers. I first traced all of the center pieces on Heat n Bond Lite.  I then cut them out and placed them on the fabric, pinned them in place and cut the heat n bond and the fabric.  After everything was cut out, I pressed the fabric and heat n bond together.  I laid everything out and placed the green ric rac where I wanted it and then sewed it on.  After that I removed the paper backing from the bond and then pressed all the flowers and petals in place. I used a blanket stitch on my machine to sew on the applique and I think it looks quite nice.  When I was picking up the ric rac and backing for this quilt, I forgot to get matching thread for all of the colors.  Luckily I have a box of thread my mother had given me years ago and I was able to find the right color for each flower, petal and ric rac.  This quilt ended up measuring 40x52.  I'm not sure how I will quilt this, any ideas?

I love this fabric so much, so when I found out it was also printed in flannel I ordered some to make a rag quilt. 

Last week when we were coming home from Vegas, we stopped at Miranda's in Cedar City.  She wanted to put a quilt top together for a friend who is expecting in April.  We both worked together, me cutting and her sewing.  This is the result from just an hours work.  Next time she comes home we will get it quilted and bound and it will be ready for a sweet baby boy.
