i made this quilt for my friend's 60th birthday. I chose Kaffe Fassett Octopuses Garden as these are her colours. The Disappearing 9Patch is because she and her husband are always disappearing off in their caravan. For the back I chose a fabric that reminded me of seaweed to fit in with Octopuses Garden. She also loves the sea. I free motion quilted this myself. I added plain real green for the centre blocks to make the quilt appear less busy. I did not quilt the plain green squares to make them pop out. I am happy with the result. I hope she is too.

First Quilt

We found that we are going to have our first grandchild at Christmas. I quickly dusted off my 40 year old Kenmore and starting sewing! After making several receiving blankets, bibs and burp cloth I decided to try making a quilt!

Second Quilt

Went to my first Sew Expo in Washington state in February and found this fabric. I bought the pattern at my LQS. The quilt was a lot harder than I was told it would be.

Chevron

Fell in love with the colors in this layer cake and knew that the chevron quilt would be perfect. Of course I followed Missouri Star's tutorial.

Disappearing Pinwheel 3

I love the Disappearing Pinwheel patterns - they're so fun to make. This was made with Summer Breeze III layer cakes.

Stacks

I'd watched the tutorial on this quilt several times. I had been online looking for a jelly roll to use and wasn't sure which one to pick. The weekend rolled around and I didn't have a project to work on and had not ordered a jelly roll so I started looking through my fabric and decided that I had more than enough material in my scraps to complete the quilt. I've never made a scrappy quilt as I'm pretty particular about the fabrics I use together. My mom and friends make fun of me because it takes me so long to decide on fabric because I don't want to make the wrong decision. In the end I decided to use the scraps and really thought that I wouldn't like the end result but it gave me a project...little did I know that I'd end up loving the quilt and using it on my bed.
