MelissaAnn's projects Category Style Type Modern 30's Traditional Heirloom Applique Batik Lap / Throw 2 1/2" Strips 10" Square Fabric By The Yard 5" Square Take Two The only quilt gifted for Christmas 2016. Essex linen in Flax and one of Parson Grey's lines. I always use one of David Butler's lines when making a mans quilt. This is Jenny's Rising Star pattern. It was quick and fun! Thanks again, Jenny!

But, even though I struggled to finish it, I liked it once it was done.

I simply sashed the 10" squares and had some fun quilting done inside the squares. I have been hoarding the backing fabric from Pam Kitty for a couple of years waiting for just the right quilt. I'm happy with this simple quilt. It makes me smile. I hope my southern MIL likes it, too!

Easy, peasy, and very low stress! You have to love those sorts of projects! By MelissaAnn 9 LIKES | 1155 VIEWS Belle This is the first quilt I ever made. I stressed way too much. I actually diagramed and planned fabrics for each block of this strip quilt. Now that I know more, I realize I could do it in less than half the time now! But, it was for my daughter and a labor of love. She loves it, so it was worth it to me. By MelissaAnn 18 LIKES | 923 VIEWS For Me! My baby girl made this for me for Christmas! My favorite fabrics. She learned how to make hst. She chose a great variegated thread that I would never have thought of and a funky quilting pattern that I love. It was definitely her biggest project yet. It is probably my favorite gift ever. By MelissaAnn 13 LIKES | 1062 VIEWS Wonky Star This is for Letitia. Her favorite color is teal, so I thought this BariJ material fit the bill. This was an easy one day project. I really enjoyed the process, no stress. To make it feel more special, I had some custom quilting done on this one. Love it!

But, I'm glad I left the pattern alone and followed the original. I like it! By MelissaAnn 8 LIKES | 1097 VIEWS Throw for Karen's new house 2012 My second quilt ever. Boy, I learned the hard way about seam allowances during the making of it!

It was my honor to present this to Mr. Bob Bridge, a wonderful WWII veteran. By MelissaAnn 2 LIKES | 1356 VIEWS
