Quilt no.17! Another one I kind of did on the fly. My beloved Midwest Modern prints by Amy Butler had been in my stash since I started quilting and it was time to finally make something out of them. When I first started out I had no clue about how much fabric one would really need for a (then) double bed so I only had a small amount of fat quarters and half yards. It works great as a small lap quilt when I'm curled up on the couch. The batting is so light and fluffy and the backing is super soft - of fabric I got from Ikea probably 17 years ago!

Do You See Dots?

I had a fat quarter set of polka dot fabrics and thought it would make a nice bright prayer quilt.

LYTTMAB!

This quilt is for my Mom. I saw this panel and just had to get it. "I love you to the moon and back" is something we say to eachother, and special to us. I didn't have a pattern to follow so I got on the internet and scoured around for star patterns. I chose six that I likes and had never done any of them (I hadn't done the friendship star either). I just mixed and matched them until I loved it. All the fabric was from my stash. The backing is a yellow swirley flannel. I quilted it with black on top and yellow in the bobbin. Then quilted each star separately with yellow top and bottom. It made her cry as I knew it would. It was her birthday yesterday, but her husband is battling cancer and she didn't feel very birthday-like. I knew that she would be spending a lot of time in frigid hospital rooms and at doctors appointments so I made a velco wrap with handles so she can wear it like a bag and take it with her. This quilt took me 3 days to sew and two days to quilt. I have never done one from start to finish that quickly. This one just flowed! I am very happy with it, and the reaction was priceless.

Purple Food Fabrics Quilt

I selected purple food fabrics from my stash to make MSQ pattern "Flying Home." The border is a variation of piano keys from scrapes of the blocks. The food fabrics are figs, blackberries, red cabbage, red onions, plums and artichokes.

Krista's Big Day 2016

I made this quilt for my sister's wedding. Her wedding theme was Blue Damask so I found that fabric for the backing. The pattern I used was called Kate's Big Day. Size 72x72

My Christmas Mandala Quilt 2017

I saw this quilt displayed behind Rob and his guest Violet Craft on his Man Sewing tutorial for Tree skirts and I HAD to have it. So I purchased the pattern and the same fabric and copied the quilt. It's mostly Appliqued. I love it so much. Can't wait for Christmas to display it on my couch. Size 60x60

Butterfly quilt

It never fails to make me feel good giving a quilt I make to someone special. A dear friend of mine was having a serious rough patch with...well practically everything going on in her life. Her birthday was coming up and I wanted to give her something special, so I made her this quilt. I didn't complete it in time for her birthday, but on the card I jokingly said "well I am early for next year." I had just started to learn how to applique and this quilt is far from perfect. Nonetheless, she was in tears when she received the quilt. To see that reaction made all the frustration and seam ripping worth while.

Fat Friday

I bought a kit that used fat quarters called Fat Friday. It uses 12, 16, 20, 30 fatquarters, depending on how big you want the quilt to be. Each block ends up 16" square. I found this to be a VERY EASY pattern to use for a quick and colorful quilt. The pattern suggests piling the fat quarters in a stack and cutting many at a time. I stacked 4 of them to make this 12 block quilt. All fabrics pulled from my stash to go with 5 that came together in a fat quarter bundle. Quilted with my favorite swirls. My friend loved it, it has a soft flannel backing, so I gave it to her!

Peggy's Quilt #18 - Bermuda Batiks

This was my quilting project from October 2016 through February 2017. It's my 18th quilt, and is named for the tropical feel of the batik colors. The pattern is "Disappearing Hourglass 2" by Jenny Doan at MSQC. There is a tutorial video on YouTube from December 2014. The pattern is also in BLOCK magazine Winter Vol. 2, issue 1, starting on page 16. My finished quilt size is 65”x65” and the fabrics for the top are assorted batiks with Wilmington Essential Paisley White on White, which I also used for the mitered borders, backside and binding. While I did the piecing, I still send my quilts out to a LAQ expert for long arm quilting. Lynn Durbin at Camlyn Quilts in Smokey Point, Washington has done most of my quilts! I think of 'quilting' as the pattern selection, color and fabric selection and piecing, and then I leave the LAQ part to someone with a talent for that part of the process. Posted by Peggy on June 7, 2017. I love quilting!

My X and O Quilt

I made a throw quilt for each of my family members and decided that it was time to make one just for me. My home colors are mostly gray, turquoise, aqua and red, so I wanted to make a quilt that would look good on the couch. It was my first time making something this complicated. I dug into my giant stash of fat quarters that I had and went to town cutting strips and sewing them up. Originally I wanted it to all have the same pattern repeating, but my daughter proclaimed that she liked it mixed up with the X and O pattern. And so I listened. I quilted it myself on my home machine with a walking foot and a double corner stone pattern.
