Sometimes its hard to find the perfect fabric for a 13 yr old boy but when I spotted this Layer Cake by Benartex called Buried Treasure, I knew I had to make something for my grandson Austin. I don't recall the name of this pattern but it was very simple using a layer cake sliced once leaving a 6" x 10" rectangle and a 4" x 10" rectangle, then adding a 2 1/2" strip to the top and one side of each rectangle. Alternating the direction of each rectangle created the design.

Lorelei's heart quilt

I had been watching Missouri Star Quilt Co's daily deal for a while...trying to decide on a charm pack for my granddaughter. She was here the day Happy Flappers was the deal of the day. I ordered 3 charm packs, planning a Falling Charms quilt. She was here the day they came, and she laid them out till three charms formed a heart. And she said, 'Oh, Mamaw, look a heart. You can make me a heart quilt...' So, my 5 yr old granddaughter had a hand in designing her first quilt.

My Very First Quilt Ever

My grandma passed away last December, and my mom was devastated. As my brother was helping Mom clean out Grammy's house, he got the idea to smuggle out 2 bags of her clothes...he knew I sewed, so he figured I could do something with them for our mom. Thanks to Pinterest, I found Jenny's tutorial for a rag quilt, and got to sewing my grandma's old t-shirts together. Grammy always loved roses and springtime, and it is so fitting that her quilt perfectly captures that essence of her :-). My brothers and I presented the finished quilt to our mom as a surprise on the first Mother's Day ever that she was without her own mother. Needless to say, she was absolutely thrilled with this tangible keepsake, and could not stop crying happy tears! Making this quilt got me interested in "real" quilting, and ignited my newest obsession :-)

Flower Garden Quilt

I used Jenny's Flower Garden Quilt made with " Lovely" charm packs, to create this quilt. It was quilted by a longarmer, since I don't have the skills to do a big project like this. It was a gift given to my brother in law and wife for their cottage. I made it in gratitude for their generous help and care and support during the illness and death of my 35 year old son from cancer, and a two year serious illness of my husband. They generously shared their cottage at anytime for my son to use during his illness. It was his favorite place to be. they were there for my husband and me whenever we needed anything. I love the colors of this quilt, and they work very well in the "shabby chic" decor of their cottage. They LOVED it, and it's one of my favorites! Thanks for looking!

The Kitchen Sink Quilt

Recently back into quilting after almost 10 years, I have lots and lots of fabric. I wanted to use up some of it so I could justify buying new stuff, so I decided to design my own quilt. I did it the hard way by cutting each piece for a row, sewing it together, and then taking out new fabrics for the next row. I reused many fabrics but didn't cut all of one fabric at once because I was just winging it. When my grown-up granddaughter saw the first couple of rows, she said "It looks like you used everything but the kitchen sink!". Hence the name. I love white sashing and the brightness of the quilt, but I probably won't do it again!! It's one of a kind.

Layer Cake + Jelly Roll = Quilt!

I made this quilt for mine and my hubbies bed following your tutorial Layer Cake + Jelly Roll = Quilt! Fantastic tutorial to follow. I've only been making quilts for about 3 years now - I always found it to be very daunting not knowing where to start. But one day bit the bullet - I started off small with some baby quilts to get a bit of confidence and went on from there (I'm slightly addicted now). I had every intention of having this quilt quilted professionally because of it's size - but again bit the bullet and did straight line quilting - quick, effective and easy. I admit it is very far from perfect BUT I made it from start to end including the quilting and am very proud of my effort. My hubby even loves it!!!

Variation on the Orange Peel Quilt

I just love the orange peel quilt tutorial at MSQC. As I was making it and noticed that my points were a little off center, so I added a center circle turning the design into flowers.

Chopped Block

I've always been interested in the Cotton and Steel designed fabric but could never seem to find a pattern to suit it. Watched the chopped block tutorial and had an aha moment.

Where the Wild Things Live

Another scrap quilt...using bits and pieces. I added some black this time. It is not really quite twin size, but it is sure bigger than a lap or throw quilt.

Funky Fall Quilt

I fell in love with Sandy Gervais' Posh Pumpkins, and knew I needed it. After putting the blocks together, I realized I didn't like it. It was too "70s" looking for my taste. Then, a friend suggested that I added a boarder. So, I did. And then I fell back in love with it. I added just plain brown flannel to the back, for those chilly Fall evenings. I quilted this one myself, my first "followed" pattern on a long arm. Started Summer 2013, trimmed and binded Fall of 2014/
