X Marks the Spot!

 Monday evening I started the first block for this quilt.  I didn't have a pattern so I just improvised after reading a couple of tutorials for similar looking quilts.  I used 30 layer cake squares and 30 charm pack squares for the blocks.

 The fabric is "Strawberry Fields" by Fig Tree Quilts, designed by Joanna Figueroa.  The setting and corner triangles are "Fig Tree" cream.

 I cut each layer cake square into 4 five inch squares and then added the matching charm pack square for each X.

The inner border finished at 3 inches and the outer border will finish at 6 inches.

The quilt measures 83 x 95.  This is a perfect summer quilt, in fact it looks perfect for a picnic because of the gingham but alas that will never happen, we will not be eating on this quilt.

Giddy Tumbler

I decided to make a tumbler quilt with the Giddy layer cake that I purchased last spring.

I added 3 borders to make it a little larger (full size).  The large border will be scalloped.  The scallops are drawn on but I will not cut them until the quilt is quilted. 

She Did It!

 Banner finished her quilt yesterday.

The back! I think this is my favorite fabric in the "Just Wing It" collection.

This quilt was made with 1 layer cake and then the fabrics for the borders, binding and back.

 A closer look.  I did the quilting but Banner did the rest, even the hand-sewn binding.

This is Banner's second quilt made with Momo fabrics.  I made the "Glad All Over" quilt for her a year and a half ago using the "Wonderland" collection.  She seems to love the Japanese prints.  This quilt was done for her Divine Nature value project,  it took her just over 12 hours.  She is now completely finished with her Personal Progress requirements.

Giddy!

One of my next projects involves a layer cake and some yardage of Sandy Gervais' Giddy collection.

I am planning on making a full size quilt for the bed in our extra bedroom.  I'm thinking pinwheels but might change my mind.  I've been known to do that.  This collection came out several months ago but I am just getting around to making something with it.

A Gift to Myself!

I bought this book back in July, I guess you could say it was a birthday gift to myself.  Each pattern has directions for a large quilt using layer cake squares and a small quilt using charm pack squares.  I'm so excited to get started.
