Pinwheels Galore!

 I bought this quilt kit from Connecting Threads about 3 years ago.

 

 I intended to give it to Miranda so she could piece it herself.

 

 When we discovered that the pinwheels were Prairie Points we both decided it might be a little advanced for her.  I brought it home and put it away but promised her that it would be hers for her first little boy.

 

 Baby boy is on his way and so the quilt is finished and ready go to Cedar City.

 

The back is a blue and cream circle print from the Moda Giddy collection that I happened to have a large piece of.  The batting is 80/20 cotton poly and the quilt measures 45 x 45.



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.
