I did free motion quilting on the center portion of the quilt with mediocre results. I needed a stencil to mark the stitching lines along the outer blocks, and this quilt gave me the chance to learn a lot about making quilting stencils with my Silhouette machine. Trial and error taught me that I can make a reusable stencil out of freezer paper. I ironed it in place and then I used my pounce pad to mark the quilting lines. My daughter is a whiz at the Silhouette software, and all things computer related, so I hope that I can get her to make a YouTube video to show how to make the stencils.

Storybook Playtime easy baby quilt

I'm a fan of 30s reproduction prints. I used 2 charm packs of Storybook Playtime by Windham, and some Moda Bella off white yardage. The name was cut with my Silhouette Portrait machine. I used bamboo/cotton blend batting, and I quilted it myself on my home sewing machine.

Baby Quilt

I combined a black and white print with pastels, and I used a flange binding. I quilted it with my home sewing machine. I used Windham Basic Pastels charm packs along with some yardage from other fabric lines. The black and white print is from the Floral Whimsy collection by Northcott. The Duck print is from Hobby Lobby.

Modern Computer Quilt

I found an amazing modern quilt designer online named Libs Elliott. She creates unique modern designs on a computer using generative design and processing code. I created a pattern of one of her quilts using a CAD program that I have on my computer, and she gave me permission to post a picture of the quilt that I made online. I made this for my daughter's boyfriend for Christmas. He is a computer whiz, and he is fond of modern designs, so it was the perfect quilt for him! I even found some binary code fabric for the backing. I used my Silhouette machine, and Pigma Micron pens to create the label. The ink bled a little in the wash, so I need to adjust the settings so that the pen won't push down quite so much next time. He's a really nice guy, so I hope that he proposes to her soon. :)

University of Tennessee Baby Quilt

I'm an LSU fan, but I made this quilt anyway for a friend who had her first grandchild. I created the pattern myself. It was very fast to make. :)

Mistake City

I made this quilt in a class at a local quilt shop. I made a bunch of mistakes assembling it. I attached some of the triangles incorrectly, so I had to fix that. I attached some of the strips going the wrong direction, so I ended up with the same blocks touching in a lot of places, and I chose the wrong border fabric for the triangles. A friend of mine convinced me to pick all of them out and order a different fabric to put in their place. I'm glad that I did, because it's much prettier this way. I made a pieced back for it, and I quilted it on my home sewing machine which is an Elna 720.

Vintage baby quilt

I love this little quilt. I used about half of the Toy Chest jelly roll to make it. I saved the pinks and purples for a girl quilt. I had to supplement with a little bit of yardage from another line. I found this pattern on Pinterest. It's called "On a Jelly Roll" by Meadow Mist Designs. You can find it on Etsy. I will definitely make it again in other sizes and fabrics. If you buy the pattern, then make a pair of blocks before you cut out all of those 2 1/2" squares. You can save time by sewing strips and cutting them to the right size. I quilted it myself on my home sewing machine.

Lakyn's Quilt

This is a disappearing nine patch set on point. I used Garden Party Tango fabrics. I used the prints in the 1,3,5 & 9 spots, and I used white confetti fabric (from another line) in the 2,4,6 & 8 spots, and a solid coral in the center spot. I made the quilt for my son's girlfriend. Hopefully she will be my daughter-in-law one day. I quilted it with my Elna Excellence 720 home sewing machine. it's a sister machine to the Janome 6600
