I was inspired by Andi Herman's Pixel Pup quilt in the current issue of Love of Patchwork and Quilting magazine. The quilt size is 50 x 60 and designed, pieced and quilted by myself.

I had no ideas what to use them for & had resigned my self to picking the strips apart! Then there's Jenny's Cutting Corners tutorial! I measured the depth of my strip set & cut background squares (again, leftovers from a different project). Voila, a nice sized lap quilt top. Of course, I'll just Have to go shopping for the backing!

It is all foundation pieced using the patterns from Backyard Bird Quilts by Jodie Davis.

We stayed at a beach house near Scarborough, Maine. I thought the fabric was appropriate as we indulged in a Lobster feed at the beach house. I used Jenny's skateboard pattern, 10" squares and fabric by the yard. The border print is orange and red lobsters as is the binding. MSQC machine quilted my quilt and I picked a flip-flop design for the quilting. The quilt traveled with us in our vehicle and was used not only in the beach house but also on the beach. This quilt will always help me to remember our amazing trip to Maine! By Laurie 24 LIKES | 643 VIEWS Stargello It's an easy pattern, but it takes some time to do. Worth the effort, because it's really pretty. It's strip pieced in a bargello style and cut using two purchased templates. It is about 42" square. Next steps are to applique a circle in the center, then sandwich and quilt. By snippet 35 LIKES | 3775 VIEWS Fancy Forest I made this for my 2 year old grandson. It took me 9 days to get the top done, still need to get it quilted. By suellensews 64 LIKES | 6426 VIEWS Denim and Stars I loved the rising stars tutorial that Jenny did not too long ago. I decided that I would use a couple of roll ups that I had been saving (Riley Blake La Vie Boheme) and try it with charm squares and some light weight denim yardage...I was going to give this quilt away but I really like it and think it needs to live in my family room! It isn't finished yet... By TerriJ0628 20 LIKES | 861 VIEWS Birds in Air This was the second quilt I pieced. Started 5 years ago. Not happy with the piecing and almost threw it away. A friend talked me into keeping it and using it for practice. The verticle, horizontal and diagonal lines were "stich in the ditch" with a walking foot. Most of the triangles were FMQ freehand, others I tried different methods of marking the quilt. So glad I didn't throw it away. By Nanaquilts 26 LIKES | 1344 VIEWS True Blue I chose this pattern because the title of it embodies my husband; unwavering loyalty to his family and country. It was a birthday gift for him. Since I wanted it to be a surprise, pieced it while he was at work and I set weekly and monthly goals for myself. I worked on it as soon has he left for work in the morning and put it all back in the box before he came home for lunch. After lunch, I repeated the process, working on it until it was time for him to come home after his work day ended. The pattern is by Carrie L. Nelson in her book titled Miss Rosie's Spice of Life Quilts. The placement of light and dark fabrics give the appearance of movement in the quilt.

When I was researching ideas on Pinterest I saw these fabric origami stars. So I printed the instructions out, which were in Russian but came with pictures. Low and behold we have the Missouri Christmas Star to give away as gifts this Christmas. I was able to make 30 Stars in 2 days. My creative juices wonder if this pattern would work as a couch throw pillow. I am going to have to experiment and find out. By MegaPurplette 41 LIKES | 1594 VIEWS «12345»
