I wanted a quilt with a Southwest feel, that was long enough to cover me head to toe since I'm almost 6 ft tall. I saw this pattern done a number of ways and love these 2 colors together. The backing is a Robert Kaufman extra wide fabric. It's vintage look is perfect for this block. It just needs the binding to finish it off!

Custom King Size Rainbow Sparkler Quilt

Meet Mr.Sparkles, a king-sized beauty! Oh, drat! Did you see the block that is turned wrong? Just kidding - they can be turned any direction and still be correct! Gotcha!! I love it all jumbled up. If I made this quilt for myself, I'd lay the blocks out totally random ... maybe ... if I had enough courage to break out of the expected! The quilt finished at 108" square and shrank to 104.5" x 106.5" when washed and dried in cool temperatures. This is not much shrinkage at all for this size of quilt. I've had queens shrink 5" each direction which is a big deal with today's thick mattresses where every inch of the quilt counts. This one likely didn't shrink "squarely" due to the pressure put on the quilt by the rollers in the quilting process when it is stretched in only one direction. I like the quilt top and backing snug when quilting.

Log cabin in blues

This is my first completed quilt. I made it a huge 108 by 108 inches so that my very tall husband can truly wrap up in it.

Sunlit Applique Orange Peel Quilt

This orange peel quilt brightens a winter day. Made from an assortment of orange, yellow and black fabrics, I used white solid yardage, fusible interfacing and Jenny Doan's football template from her tutorial on 2/11/2015. Her applique technique was one I had been planning to try. It's a great pattern for putting together because you don't need sashing strips between blocks. You can also experiment with different layouts. I chose to anchor the dark peels in the corners and selected points. With the leftover fabrics, I fashioned a pieced backing. Lastly, I sewed decorative stitches in the corners, then quilted ruffled flowers in the white spaces and leafy vines in the border. It was a fun and satisfying project to complete.

Crazy Cat Quilt

This quilt is for my 85 year old, funny & favorite aunt. This fabric seemed perfect for her since it combines her love of cats and her funny sense of humor. Who doesn't love a cat wearing a derby? I traced the image of the cat on the fabric and enlarged it to make the black applique cats.

Maze

Some people come into your life for a season, a reason or a lifetime. Whatever the timeframe they help you navigate the maze of life. This quilt is for a friend that did just that and I want her to know how much I appreciate her.

Joy

This was a last minute Christmas gift idea, so it was sewn together rather quickly. A not-so-quick Google image search led me to a quilt posted on QuiltersShowcase.com. The links to the original pattern were broken, and a search through the distributors name, keywords, and the image itself turned up nothing. I used the image to draft a pattern. Because I wanted to use up some 4" square scraps that I had on hand, the design came out smaller than I wanted it to be. I had to add some extra borders around the central block, and it came out to be about 36" x 45". This project used up 4 yards and a piece of left over batting from my stash. This quilt makes me feel happy when I see it, and I hope the recipient feels the same way.
