QuiltsBy.me

A friend brought me a stack of squares from Hawaii, and I wanted to make a quilt that used as many of the squares as possible.

Baby Quilt

I put together this quilt in 2 days for a friend who is having a baby girl. I was able to play with the lettering on my machine and create something fun on the back.

Baby Squares

I wanted to use up some of my beautiful charm packs to build up a stock of baby quilts! Those MSQC daily deals sure are cute! Need to reduce the stash!

Disappearing Four Patch Star

Ever since completing other projects with the cut up piecework, I was looking for another variation. When Jennie Doan recently gave a summer workshop using her original Disappearing Four Patch pattern from Block Magazine and added star points, it piqued my interest. The oversized blocks eliminated the need for sashing strips. I decided to use a teal tonal print for the star. The possibilities for other block color combinations seemed endless. The participants in the workshop all had beautiful blocks to share. It was hard to decide which I liked best. I free motioned a floral design between the units and assorted straight line quilting in the borders on my domestic sewing machine. The quilt soon made it's way to a new home.

This was the first quilt I ever made and it was for my 6 year old son. It's a disappearing 9 patch using Moda's Happy Sunshine fabric line.

Rag Quilt - Baby Size

My friend, Myra, became a grandmother, again. To celebrate the occasion I wanted to share in her joy with a baby quilt. I bought the fabric, Noah's Ark Flannel Charm packs and Minkee Blankee Lights Charm Pack by Benartex. Picking a pattern is one of the hardest parts. Researched all my books, patterns & pinterest. Then one day it hit me - Rag Quilt. Simple, Easy, and Babylicious. I was surprised how fast it went together. In one day I had sewed the squares together, then the rows. but, it was just too small. Therefore, I decided to add borders. ( I had to go back to my stash I didn't have a lot of choices for flannel and minkee for a boy. ) Luckily it all worked out. I'll be mailing it out on Monday. Celebrating the circle of life with every new born baby.

Quilt for Mom

I am a self taught quilter who has been quilting for my family for about 10 years. I started doing baby quilts with panels and have progressed from there. This quilt is for my mother. We lost my father 2 years ago and since then she has not been able to keep warm. I made this so that she can curl up in her big easy chair and watch TV and keep warm.

Ispy

I made this ispy for my daughter. We collected fabric for years in various sizes mostly FQ. And ultimately I decided on a 5" square. So I have tons of leftover scraps! But that's what you get when you make it up as you go along! I used the skinny precut for the sashing. Hunny bun? We laid them out one 16 patch at a time. It was too mind boggling to get all 192 coordinated. It was easier with the 16 patch block. The sashing worked very well. I sashed them like a tick tack toe squares, no doing the outsides. And the precut were perfect lengths. The block was a half a strip wide! The outer border needed a little more size, so I did a 2.5" strip for that one. The backing is black Minky. The quilting was by Quilted Thimble a local shop in Belmont, NC. The pattern was twisted ribbons I think? Hope you like it!

I SPY for Madison

My high school best friend's DIL had her first child, a little girl, and I wanted to make a quilt that would go and grow with her. I have been wanting to try an I Spy quilt and decided that this was the perfect opportunity. I used a variety of scraps, I spy, and fun material for the 5x5 blocks. It turned out crib or car size 34 x 40 inches. FMQ on my home machine. I used the disappearing 9 patch method to make the pattern. It was fun and fast.

I love to fly quilt.

My brother was expecting his first grandson. I had made a quilt for them when they had their granddaughter. My brother loves aviation and flying. I decided he also needed a quilt so when both grandchildren came to visit they would each have one. This material from MO Star fit the bill perfectly. Airplanes with cute words that read...my people need me. I hope as he embraces his grandchildren, the love of flying and being a pilot will be passed on!
