This is one of the Fat Quarter Shop snapshots patterns. I doubled the size to make a quilt big enough to donate to Project Linus. I love the pattern – time-consuming but straight-forward. And the Heather Bailey fabrics are just happiness. I did a stipple free-motion quilt pattern – still one I need to workContinue reading “Kitten on a Quilt Quilt”

WIP: A Sea of Aqua (and red and pink)
So. Close. I am so close to finishing all of my WIPs. I have completed 44 projects this year, which includes 19 (!!) baby quilts. I have two more to finish – just.two.more. I am excited to be done. This weekend I powered through another aqua, red, pink baby quilt. And I have one more.Continue reading “WIP: A Sea of Aqua (and red and pink)”
Blue Pixelated Baby Quilt
This started out as a gift, and ended up as a Project Linus quilt. The reverse of what usually happens. This is a free pattern from the KC Project Linus group. They have so many awesome, free, easy-to-make patterns. I loved working in all blues, and the design is easy and fun – biq squaresContinue reading “Blue Pixelated Baby Quilt”
Pirate Economy Block Baby Quilt
This quilt. I started with a great idea, but the colors of this one really started to bug me. Not sure where I went off the rails, but there is just too much in this quilt. This one sat and sat and sat. But in a weekend of getting lots done (the weekend BEFORE IContinue reading “Pirate Economy Block Baby Quilt”
Bluebird Park Triangles – A FINISHED Quilt
This thing. Sigh. I was so excited when I started this quilt. I bought the Child’s Play pattern, two charm packs of the sweet Bluebird Park collection. And then about an hour in, I started to hate this quilt. I didn’t like how much fabric was wasted making the triangles (although the method ofContinue reading “Bluebird Park Triangles – A FINISHED Quilt”
Warm Star Baby Quilt – A FINISH!
Boy oh boy oh boy oh boy! I am so thrilled with the progress I have been making with getting some WIPs done. This is a completed quilt that began life during my orange-pink-red-yellow obsession. And then it sat for a bit. Over the past week, I added a yellow and red border – usingContinue reading “Warm Star Baby Quilt – A FINISH!”
WIPs – The Unruly State of Things
This year I have completed 29 projects. Basically a project every week. I think that pace is too fast. But like many quilters, I want to move quickly so I can sew all the things. Many (most) of my projects were smallish…4 mini quilts, 1 table runner, 1 mug rug, 3 wall hangings that wereContinue reading “WIPs – The Unruly State of Things”
Sun, Sky, Sand, Sea
In October of last year, I snagged some fabric for our local Project Linus’s challenge. The fabric was some bright fish on a dark blue background. I had a vague idea of what I wanted to do for a long time, and then I saw a picture of a carpenter’s square block and it crystallizedContinue reading “Sun, Sky, Sand, Sea”
Project Linus #6: Dots and Squares Baby Blanket
I love this quilt. Love the colors. Love the polka dots. LOVE LOVE LOVE the Oh, Deer! (Momo for Moda) fabric on the back… the little deers and squirrels… the soaring birds… Here is the front – the only thing I would do differently is to make all the centers of the squares white –Continue reading “Project Linus #6: Dots and Squares Baby Blanket”
Done: Two Tops and a Back!
My stack of unfinished projects is growing. Boo! So I took some time to finish some stuff up. First up, the top that will be for Project Linus or maybe a friend’s baby… regardless, this fabric is gorgeous. I finished all those little 2″ squares. Love. Next, the top of a Project Linus quilt withContinue reading “Done: Two Tops and a Back!”
