Tumbling!

 I quilted the "Make Life" tumbler quilt last week , the same day that I quilted the "Sherbet Pips" quilt.  I decided 2 quilts in one day is just a little too much for me.  I need to spread my quilting out a little more than that.

 The back is the blue print with little stars from the collection and the binding is the white with large red polka dots.

I quilted this one in a stipple pattern.  I really love it!



Sherbet Pips!

 This quilt was made with a layer cake of Aneela Hooey's "Sherbet Pips" Collection.

We had to take pictures inside because it is gusting pretty steadily outside.

 The pattern is one I borrowed from Whitney  called "Easy Bake" by Allison at Cluck Cluck Sew.

 Several months ago, the Fat Quarter Shop had a really nice discount on their "Sherbet Pips" yardage so I purchased several yards for the backing and binding of this quilt plus a few others prints just because.

I love the little girls on scooters and the spotted dogs plus all of the colors of this quilt.  It is a lap size and will be perfect and snuggly once it is washed.

April's BOM

I finished this block last week but I never got around to posting it.  Because today is the 25th, the block for May is posted and I can start on it.  

Quilted and Bound

 I don't know if I should call this Wonderland 3 or Tube Quilt.

Both names are accurate.

This is the quilting pattern I have been working on.  I seem to be a little more consistent each time I try it.

I haven't washed this one yet because once I do it will crinkle up and the quilting won't be as visible.  The batting is 80/20 cotton poly and the size is 41x41.  When it is washed it will shrink up a little and be a bit smaller.

Baby Lattice is Finished!

I love how this one turned out.  It is bound with one of the green prints from the Li'l Rascals Collection and backed with the dot fabric.  I used a new quilting pattern that I am hoping to perfect in the next couple of weeks.  Thanks to Banner for being my holder upper.



Make Life Tumbler

 I finally made a quilt fit for a baby boy.

 This cute "tumbler" quilt was made with 121 "Make Life" charm pack squares.

It measures 38x52



Okay, I Promise!

No more "Wonderland" quilts for a while.  It just happens that when I was looking for the "Honey Buns" last week I stumbled upon these "Layer Cake" squares left over from this quilt. I decided it was time to do something with them.

 A while ago I had watched this video about making pinwheels, so I tried it with the layer cake squares.  It was amazing how fast I was able to make all of the hst for this quilt.  I was going to make  a pinwheel quilt but I really wanted to try something new.

I remembered that there was a tutorial over at "Diary of a Quilter" for Hourglass blocks.  I followed it and this is the result.  This quilt top measures 36 x 42. The perfect size for a new baby.

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.

Mission Accomplished!

My goal was one a day for nine days.

Here they are, the completed "Swoon" blocks.  I love how the different colors make each block unique.

As I finished each block it became my new favorite.  To be honest I don't think I could choose which one I like best.  I love them all.

 I had to be very particular in pressing each part of the block as it was finished.  As you can see, each square was pressed the opposite way so the seams would notch together.

There were many places where corners of squares and triangles needed to meet just right.  I got most of them to look pretty nice.

The challenge with the flying geese blocks was to make sure that I didn't cut off any of the points by sewing my seams too wide.

So, now I add the white sashing and it should end up being 80 x 80.  I might make it a little larger by widening the sashing.

I can't wait to put this on our bed.
