12 Days of Christmas!

 Last year Moda produced this cute holiday collection designed by Kate Spain.  It is called 12 Days of Christmas and I loved it as soon as I saw it.

 

 I decided to make a bunch of 1/2 square triangles and then turn them into Dutch Pinwheel blocks.

 

I have wanted a Christmas quilt for our bed for a while so my plan is to make 16 of these blocks (they measure 17.5) and then add two borders so that it will be a square queen size quilt.  I will post pictures later when the project is finished.

Birthday Quilts!

 I made this Union Jack quilt for my sister Sara in honor of her birthday which was yesterday.  I've had it finished for a while but had to wait to show it. 

 

 Sara served a mission for our church in England when she was younger and has always had a great love for that country and people.

 

 I used whatever red and blue fabrics I could find in my stash, most of them are from the Connecting Threads Canning Day collection but I also used a red from the Sherbet Pips collection.  The pattern is called Victory Garden by Busy Bee Quilt Designs.  It measures 56 x 62, a perfect lap size.

 

 Yesterday was also my sister-in-law Stacy's birthday so I made her this sweet lap quilt.

 

 I used FigTree Quilts Butterscotch and Roses collection, a charm pack and honey bun plus fig tree cream for the sashing.  The pattern is called Square One by Camille Roskelley found in her Simplify book.  It measures 56 x 65 and both quilts have a 80/20 cotton poly batting.
 

I loved making these quilts.  They both turned out just the way I wanted them to.
