Disappearing 9 Patch - Couch to Quilt Project

I needed a quilt, I had a pattern, project box, and a little motivation. You do get a charm pack and white fabric for the border included in this kit. In order to make the Disappearing 9 Patch I needed another charm pack. I sewed all my 9 patches. Cut them up, Sewed them back together. Added Sashing. Added a border. Now it is time to send it off to MSQC. I read the directions - OOPS! I wasn't suppose to make it bigger. I am calling in the morning to see if I can still have it quilted. I learned something very important - READ DIRECTIONS FIRST BEFORE ANY SEWING PROJECT. The quilt ended up cute and will make a great gift. U.P.D.A.T.E.: The MSQC staff is excellent at solving problems. Before calling them I was curious at how much it would cost to have it machine quilted. I put my inches into their calculator, now I had an idea of the actual cost. During our phone conversation, since it was my error I asked how much more would it cost to have it machine quilted? The cost was 1/3 the cost of the actual machine quilting cost. {Thank-You} I offered to include the backing and complete the binding. I just finished the backing, - a fat quarter Disappearing 9 patch - 1 block. Thanks for making it possible to finish this quilt. I now have my first Christmas Present for 2016. {I will update pictures when it is finished.} MSQC - is one of the friendliness companies out there. 2ND UPDATE: WHEW! I just finished the binding and I am off to wrap this gift. I just love the colors and the flange binding. The more quilting that you do, your quilting skills do improve. I am updating the pictures. Thanks and Merry Christmas Everyone.

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.

Yellow Flowers Lap Quilt

Shortly after I made my mom the summer breeze quit she rested a quilt in her favorite color, yellow. Zoey Christine Lemon Chiffon was exactly what I was looking for! I used a few different fabrics from the line and went with some simple squares to keep it soft. I purchased the pattern for the threaded rose from digitechembroidery.com and used my embroidery machine to stitch it.

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.

Christmas Traditions

Beautiful fabrics in this line. Like the Falling Charms pattern when I can't bring myself to cut up the gorgeous, larger patterned prints.

Scrappy Pumpkins

I kept seeing such cute pumpkin quilts online and on Instagram and I knew I had to make one too- we just moved into a new town and we are really sprucing our our new house. I found this pattern on Craftsy, by Must Love Quilts. I added 2.5in sashing and a 5.5in border. I used some of my stash fabric and I bought more from my LQS. On my pieced backing, I stitched down some of the selvedges I used. I absolutely love how this turned out and it's perfect for keeping warm all autumn long!

Ecco zigzag

This was a practice quilt for a pattern I saw online (I figure I can make lap quilts and see if I like the pattern before doing a larger project). The print is from the MSQC mystery charm pack offer and is called Ecco. After the pattern was laid out, the lovely daughter picked it for her Study Guide quilt.
