I made this for my neighbor’s new baby. I love the colors. I bought the fabric over a year ago at a MSQC retreat and have been hoarding it until just the right pattern came along. I think this was the right one. It is baby jump rings from the Block baby issue. I randomly pieced the back with the bit of cute zebra fabric and a nice grass like batik.

Dance of the Dragonflies

I have had this jelly roll for over a year because I wanted just the right pattern for it. I was looking around in pinterest and came across Rob Apell's tutorial using a pattern by 3 Dudes Quilting and thought that it would be just the right pattern for this jelly roll.

Star of the Week

Firstly, I need to thank everyone who has posted their versions of the Rhombus Star quilt pattern. These have each inspired me to try making one of these quilts. I have had the template ruler for sometime but did not have the confidence to have a go! The quilt is called 'star of the week' as this is an award given to pupils at the primary and junior school that one of my great nephews attends. I have made it as a thank you gift for a friend of his who is leaving this summer to go to high-school. She has been very kind to him during his first two years at school, helping him adjust to the various challenges all littleones face when they start school. By chance she is also the daughter of my yoga teacher. The fabric has been interesting to use, I bought several fat quarters from one of the continental discount supermarkets here in the UK (Aldi). I'm not sure I'd use it for a quilt again, but has been good to use for bags etc. My main concern with it is that it has faded on washing, however, now that I've seen the quilt made up I like the aged look that the fading has given it.

Scalloped Lap Quilt

My 7th quilt, made between August and November, 2016. Cotton+Steel Basics Collection on the front and Cotton Couture in cream for the backside. Finished size is 52" X 52"; Quilters Dream wool batt. This quilt happened after I made cutting mistakes on my previous quilt, Hunter's Star, plus I had other fabric left over. I made a bunch of 4-patches, sewed them together, added a small teal border and decided a scalloped edge would be the cutest thing ever so added a big border with white Cotton+Steel. I had to buy a little more fabric for the backing and this is when I discovered the wonderfulness that is Cotton Couture by Michael Miller. The hand is lovely, way softer than Kona or Bella solids and since then I've been using it for the bodies of my pillow cases. I had lots of the silver metalic left over from the backside of Hunter's Star so I used some for this binding, too. Camlyn Quilts did the top stitching, and Lyn put lovely feathers on the scalloped border. Lesson learned and I'm fairly sure all quilters know this: making a quilt with leftover fabric requires buying more fabric. PS: If you want to see most of the Cotton Couture colors in person (there are 176) and you're in the Greater Seattle Area, go to Issaquah and visit Gossypium Quilt Shop. They have a big wall dedicated to it. Or you can visit the Michael Miller Fabrics website. Also, MSQC has about 45 colors at a really great price. posted 10-26-18

no title

I wanted to try a dresden plate and decided on blue, yellow and white. Decided to set on point and I had one extra block, so cut it into quarters and used in the corners of the border.

Jenny's keyhole quilt

I made this keyhole quilt using greenery fabric line for my sister in law Lisa. It's a surprise I'm sending to her from Jersey to Idaho. She loved the fabric line. She doesn't know she's getting a quilt.

Ribbons - Same Block-Different layout

When laying out the blocks for the Memorial Day Quilt, I placed some of them the wrong way. I liked the different layout and decided to try it out in a quilt. It looks like ribbons to me so that's what I named it. Hope a child likes it.

Sunny Day Bargello

I fell in love with these colors the moment I saw them! They whispered “we are perfect for a Bargello design”. 21/2 jelly rolls later and my bed is adorned with my favorite colors! What a sunny day it is every day!!

Petra's Quilt

This was my favourite quilt of 2018. I saw a picture on Pinterest and knew that I had to try to replicate it. I used very tiny pieces from my scrap bag and some Kaffe Fassett shot cottons that I had in my stash.
