PV's likes Pink and gray star quilt I used fabric from my stash and a side kick ruler for this quilt. I experimented with triangles and diamond shapes. One of my favorite parts of quilting is designing the project. I design as I go using a design wall. There are a lot of y seams in this piece, I learned it is important to back stitch the partial seam so is does not separate when quilting. I also learned that heavy quilting covers a multitude of piecing imperfections........

Sew I got this great idea I would try to make a quilt with sunflowers. Mind you I haven’t made very many quilts ( just a few) Sew this project is probably a little bigger than I should have bit on..... I found the cutest sunflower on Pinterest. The kids didn’t know about the quilt until the big day. I think it was a pretty big hit.

Used 'fabric magic' to add texture to headdress, dress and jewelry.

I just finished this quilt top for my friend/neighbor's daughter for high school graduation. I used blue, purple, and green fabric (her favorite colors). I used fabric scraps to make a string border. 80 x 96" I'm going to quilt it with my friend's help on her longarm tomorrow.

My friend and I made this purple mushroom quilt for my friends husband to give to his wife for her birthday (she loves mushrooms and purple). My friend paper-pieced the mushrooms at a retreat months ago. We cut and sewed the remaining part of the quilt all day today. Her friends are visiting in four days. Quilt is 63" square. Mushroom pattern is from the book "A Paper-pieced Garden: 27 Mix-and-Match Blocks Plus Unique Quilts" by Maaike Bakker and Francoise Maarse By blbaughman 8 LIKES | 559 VIEWS Scrappy Warm Wishes I am trying to use as many 5" squares of donated fabric as I can using different layouts to do it. I hope a child likes it! By plquilter66 9 LIKES | 1017 VIEWS Dolly quilt for Victoria I made a tulip quilt for my niece a while back and thought that a coordinating dolly quilt would be fun to do with left over blocks from projects. I used left over wool batting and fabric from my stash to add to the blocks. I had been struggling with quilting swirls, so this was a fun, low pressure opportunity to improve them.

In the past month I have sent out four baby quilts and my "collection/selection" was getting low, so I made this to replenish my stash. Everyone gets a baby quilt--whether it is your first or your fourth. LOL Aqua seems a good choice to keep it gender neutral. I experimented with variegated threads in shades of blues. The lesson learned is that it requires expertise fmq which I have not achieved. It is still a fun quilt.

She was so surprised and grateful and loved the color choice By Dianequilts 13 LIKES | 3687 VIEWS Half square triangle quilt My friend and I collaborated on my friends customer HST quilt. The customer had pieced the HST blocks, then life got in the way of completing the quilt. She sent the blocks to my friend. We came up with the layout and my friend pieced the top. The customer wanted a queen size quilt, so we added borders. The customer wanted all white added as a very large border, but I thought of the blue border with HST in the corners. The customer loved the border and wanted white added as the rest of the border. The colorful part of the quilt is on the top of her bed and the white drapes on the sides of the bed. 90" x 100" By blbaughman 16 LIKES | 683 VIEWS «12...43444546474849...7576»
