Yet another jelly roll race. I love this fabric line's colors and the music motifs. I wish I could remember the name of it, but it was so long ago.......

Sunni's Family Quilt

This is the first quilt of any size that I made - for my sister for a Christmas present. She lives far from me, my children and grandchildren. I made the 9-patches from fabrics I had used in various projects for the kids and grandkids, and gave Sunni a schematic for what fabric was previously used for what project. I was hoping to make her feel a little closer to us. This quilt is also the first one I quilted on my long-arm.

Lynn's Quilt

I made this quilt for my sister-in-law. It was a study in contrasting value. Also good practice for cutting and sewing 2.5 by 2.5" squares. My goal was to be able to arrange the blocks in either one orientation or 90º to it, thereby proving my scant 1/4" seams were the same either way. I got close, but one direction was consistently 1/16 - 1/8" greater than the other. Good practice though and with a few more quilts under my belt, I believe I have now conquered the scant 1/4". There wasn't enough contrast between the light blocks and the narrow border, so I added a flange all the way around to set those blocks off from the border.

Hashtag Quilt

This was from a tutorial on Craftsy by Camille Roskelley called Pre-cut Piecing Made Simple. Fun and easy. I like to have fun on the backing, too. Love the way the quilting turned out.

Integrated Pinwheel

I used 10 inch precut squares and the Twister tool by CS Designs to make this quilt. Instructions come with the Twister. I was unconvinced this would turn out right, but it did! Someone very smart came up with this procedure. In retrospect, the pinwheels would stand out more with better contrast between light and dark fabrics alternating in the first step, i.e. the preliminary assembly of the 10 inch squares. I've been adding a little interest to my backings lately. I was very pleased with the quilting design I made up for the pinwheels and the spinning petals on the border.

Bella's Quilt

When my son married his wife, she came with a 6 y/o daughter from a previous marriage. This precious jewel became my first granddaughter. She requested a "light green" quilt. I found the perfect fabric to tie in the light green with several other colors. The fabrics almost all have a dot design for continuity, as well. I love the prairie points which dress up the simple design. Also made a matching pillow. She says she's still using it today at age 13! Quilted on my domestic machine.

I Spy.......

Made this for my granddaughters from 10-inch precuts for the same name. The sashing was also from precut - 1 1/2-inch strips. All very quick and easy. Backing fabric is a fun brightly colored pinata design.

Michelle's Birthday Quilt

This saw pattern was fun to put together. I sometimes get a little bored toward the end of assembling many of the same blocks. Not with this quilt! The block consists of where the 4 different fabrics intersect. I had to keep on my toes to ensure I ended up with saws of the same fabric.

Jay's Hunting T-shirts

My friend asked me to make this quilt out of his t-shirts as a thank you for his son who spent years hunting with him. It was slightly challenging because the images were different sizes. Sashing, borders and backing were cozy flannel. Because he wanted emphasis on the t-shirt images, I used mono-poly clear thread for the quilting so as to not obscure the pictures.

QR Code

I made this birthday quilt for my son who is a math & computer whiz. It's a working QR code! I found a free website that makes the QR code from text you type in. Then printed it out to use as my pattern. Sewed the black and white pieces together row by row. Backed it with flannel of the university from which he graduated for a cozy quilt.
