QuiltsBy.me

I just finished adding extra borders to my Laundry Basket Quilts Alaskan Holiday quilt top. I wanted a bed size quilt. I love the diamond border. I pieced this top during the Quilt Along that happened in December. The extra borders start with the pink one. it's 113.5" square. I took pictures outside today

Future Wedding Quilt

Two- tone brown with blue Turquoise in a pattern I designed? My niece will receive this one day when she marries. It's not quilted yet, as the quilting will be inspired by her wedding. Names, dates and so on will be a part of the quilting process. Update: just finished quilting this Feb. 6th, 2021. Really struggled with my thread tension on this one. My juki sitdown longarm is very fussy about thread. The other update is, my husband gave impression that he wanted it. So it's on our bed. I will give my niece the leaf quilt I just made. Her and fiance separated months ago.

Denim in Plaid #2 Brotherly Love

My younger brother, 6ft,3", asked if I would make him a denim quilt for his bed. He wanted it large enough to hang on the sides. He contributed some of his old jeans, some of our Dads and my scraps from garment making. I decided to do 2 halves, as I am doing all sewing on an old Kenmore with only a walking foot. No batting, just flannel on back. I quilted it with a Jean yellow thread color. He has to use a front load washer to wash it as it's 108 x 108 inches. He only uses it when it's really cold out, otherwise it's too warm

Back To Nature

My niece loves natural organic leaves and such. I had another quilt I was going to give her, but husband wanted to keep it. So this top was made in its place. The blocks are 20 in square. The leaves were cut from a cereal box pattern. I spray basted them onto the background, stitched a zig zag on the edge, then did veining to hold them down. I added a thin strip of batting in the sashing because it was wider than to leave it without the batting. During the making of this top my Bernina machine pooped out on me. Sent it off for repair. When I got it back it sounded horrible and wasn't sewing quite the same. So you guessed it, I bought a new machine, Juki this time. I wore the Bernina out. The Juki was a fourth the price of an upgraded Bernina. I finished it yesterday 1.5.2021 The size of this is 103 x 103. I quilted all the squares first then attached them with the sashing strips. My 86 yr. old mother loved it!!

One Way

This was my first new quilt in about 33 years. It's big - 104"x104". Machine pieced and hand quilted. Designed in EQ8. It's made from very simple blocks - HST & 4 patch. A lot of "keeping track" to put it together. Hand quilted, whew!

Ashley’s Mosaic Christmas

Hi, I had been saving colorful yardage I had purchased when there was a sale. When I found this Mosaic patter free from quiltedtwins.com I knew I was ready to make my quilt. Well my daughter came by in Feb or March when I was working cutting and piecing the top. She exclaimed, “ Mom, this one could be mine!” Well, any mother knows what that means so instead of the queen I was making, I had to turn it into a King. The top has been finished since March but with the times we are living in, I couldn’t go pick out and buy a colorful backing. Last week I remembered I had purchased a White on white backing on a trip to MSQC but wasn’t sure if it was enough. My quilt top was 108 inch either way. I barely had enough! The white side will give her a change and she can use a bed runner on the white and pillows to match for a different look. It took me 4 days to quilt on my 18 inch sit down. While quilting I thought it should be a crime to have a bed this big!-lol Even though I love how it came out, I am ready to gift it. I hope she likes the finish! If she does like it, I have enough fabric for shams except for back of shams. I sure would love another trip to Missouri Star to get some!-lol

Corona Quilt Number 2

When I made my first quilt from my husband's shirts, I told everyone that it was my first and last quilt. A friend warned that I would be hooked. She was right. I started looking at patterns and found this one on the Missouri Star site. I thought it would look great on my bed. Jenny calls this stars and pinwheels. I made it larger for a king sized bed by making using Quilt In A Day for all the flying geese. This photo is before sending it off to my quilting lady.

Easy Carpenter's Star Kaffe Fassett

I could not wait to show you this "Easy Carpenter's Star" in Kaffe Fasset Spring 2019 Collective. It's so pretty, I plan to put a 2" white border and a 6" colored border. Will add another pic when it's done. I think any Kaffe Fassett Collective would work with this pattern. thanks Jenny. What do you all think?

Night Sky

Our youngest granddaughter just graduated from high school so this is her quilt I made. The pattern is Night Sky and I used fabric from Missouri Star from the Sage & Sea Glass collection by Kim Diehl for Michael Glass. Her favorite color is green and she loved this pattern. It was pretty difficult for me since it is all half square triangles. Too bad I didn't have the triangle square-up ruler when I did this. lol My husband says this is the prettiest quilt I have done. The support group were so helpful in helping me increase the size to king. Couldn't have done it without them. Thanks Missouri Star.

Jacob's Ladder

As each of our grandchildren graduate from high school I present them with a quilt made by me, their Nana. Our oldest grandson is Jacob so thought this quilt was appropriate for his. It was a lot of work but also very rewarding. He loves it and sleeps under it all the time. Missouri Star was so helpful in this project from watching Jenny's tutorial to purchasing fabric. After I finished the quilt I noticed a secondary pattern that looked like a baseball diamond. He went to college on a baseball scholarship, so it was doubly fitting. Thanks Missouri Star.

T-Shirt Quilt

I bit off more than I could chew with this king size quilt. It takes a lot of time and energy to apply fusible interfacing to all of the T-Shirts and the resulting fabric is heavier than the cotton I am used to sewing. In the end I was happy to complete this quilt and memorialize many of my T-Shirts some of which are more than 20 years old. I had MSQC quilt this with simple stipple. They did a great job.
