QuiltsBy.me

When our daughter (almost 50) said she wanted to make a quilt with some Christmas fabrics she bought long ago, I suggested Jenny’s Double Slice. As her first quilt top ever I thought this wouldn’t be too stressful for her, because the only seams that need to match were the block seams, when joining the rows. I am so proud of her! I quilted and put the binding on and now waiting for her to see. I am always unsure of thread color. I didn’t have a bright red, so I had to use a maroon color. I think it is ok and when it’s washed, the stitches will sink more. It came out 55x72 inches after quilting. Oh, I also told daughter that her outer border looks like lace!-lol There is a YouTube video but it won’t let me add the link here so https://youtu.be/jxC-0T5lXw4 Type in Double Slice quilt tutorial by Missouri Star and it should come up on YouTube search.

Runners

This interlocking pattern looks like the start of a foot race. All the different teams bunched together, taking off at the same time. Just a thought. 72” x 78” The black is too stark, bold. It overshadows the blue and tan. I had a lot of trouble getting intersections to line up nicely.

On Point charms with 9 P border

The title says it all, however, I did not use a charm pack, but used my leftover 5 inch squares I cut myself. I had to cut my little squares for my 9P at 2 1/8 inch, an odd size I know, but it gave me the size I needed to trim to 5 inch sq. I don’t use a quarter inch foot. I use my regular foot so it takes more than 1/4 in seam allowance. Anyway, I got got home from a family vacation so I needed to sew! -lol This ended up 70 x 89 inch and will probably go to a women shelter. Thanks for looking- Toogie

FORGOT TO ADD I DID NOT MAKE THIS PIECE . I ONLY FINISHED IT WITH BORDER AND BINDING. IT IS HAND SEWN BY SOMEONE UNKNOWN TO ME BUT RECEIVED IT FROM A ANOTHER QUILTER WHO SAID MAYBE YOU CAN FINISH THIS ONE. SHE DID NOT MAKE IT EITHER OR KNOW WHO DID. IT HAS BEEN GIFTED TO OTHER BUT NOW FINALLY DONE. Hello , I have not posted for over a year. I have been busy getting moved and settled into a retirement home. It was a lot more work than expected. I am finally able to get back to sewing and though this one is not yet complete it will be. It's been tied and just needs binding added now.

Good Times/Hello Darling By Bonnie & Camille

I was pleasantly surprised by my sister, with this beautiful quilt for my birthday this month, July 2023. The backing is just as beautiful as the quilt top…done in the aqua mums, and the binding is an aqua diagonal stripe. The quilting is white, and the design is called “apple core clamshell”. It’s finishes at 72.5” square.

The Hatter

Have you seen this with the Alice in Wonderland fabrics? I had the Mystic fabrics; sure had no idea what to do with them until I saw this pattern. After a trip through a friends stash I was able to find the colors to finish the layout. Mostly just outlined with a bit of whimsy in the white and black areas.

Peggy's Quilt #34 - Georgene Triple Irish Chain

Update July 2023: My son and DIL and grandchildren moved from California to Italy in May 2023. Sure hope they took all of the quilts I made them when they moved. Hate to ask - would that be wrong? Ohhh, I'm sure they did. Shouldn't doubt it... August 2020: This is my 34th quilt . This one counts as a quilt pattern on my bucket list. I've wanted to do a Triple Irish Chain quilt since I started quilting in 2014. This particular TIC pattern is "Georgene" by Edyta Sitar in 'Patches of Scraps', a book I borrowed from the library. The prints are a variety of Cotton Lawn fabrics and the background fabric is Cotton Couture. It was a challenge making 3" square 9-patches using 1.5" squares of cotton lawn fabric. I started cutting and piecing in June 2019, and finished the binding in December 2019. It's 83.5" square, with a premium white muslin backside, and a cotton/poly batt. Lyn Durbin at Camlyn Quilting in Smokey Point, Washington, did the free-motion meander long-arm quilting. I also made 2 pillowcases using a premium muslin for the bodies and scraps for the cuffs. It was gifted to my son and DIL in California for Christmas 2019. The 2 grandkids each have 4 quilts from me, so it was their parents' turn. I do love quilting though, so they will no doubt get at least one more big one from me. Posted by Peggy at Bothtwins on August 14, 2020.

Surrounded by Love

I made this for a great-niece, whose mom was adopted from Korea and her dad is Korean and they live in the US. So Trip Around the World is an appropriate pattern for her quilt! I quilted hearts in some of the plain squares to show she's surrounded by love. After I bought the animal fabric, my artist son chose most of the coordinating fabrics. Hand stitched and hand quilted, 63" square.

Scarlett's Nest

I made this for my great-niece, who has a thing going with her grandma (my sister) about birds. This was my first time using a panel and I struggled with how to incorporate the smaller pictures into the quilt. After lots of looking at quilts, I came up with this design. Hand stitched and hand quilted, 60" square.

QOV Eagles panel

I was given two panels just alike. This is the first one I have made. Panel is by Northcott. I made 12 inch Ohio Stars and then cut my stripes at 4.5 inch . Very easy to put together and center up the panel with the blocks around. Another Quilt of Valor finish.

QOV Panel

Another QOV pieced and really ‘hot off the press’.-lol I just finished about 15 minutes ago to take to the quilter tomorrow at our meeting. It’s off a picture I saw online. I really liked the 2in brown strips fabric. My sister said it looks just like the eagles feathers. When I say I had just enough, believe me. I might have a 2x3 piece left. Thank goodness one of the presentations was rescheduled for a later date. We needed 16 quilts done by the first week in June, but now we can catch our breath-lol- Toogie

Illusion

I saw a picture of a bright colorful quilt and thought I’d like to try to make one. I wanted to use leftover military fabrics of tanks, helicopters and Jeep’s for center row. I’m not sure how well I like how mine turned out with these fabrics. I hope I like it better once it’s quilted. I had a small piece of this fabric left from a quilt I made in March. I thought I would use it all up here but still have a small amount left. It’s not enough for binding unless I make a scrappy binding and that may be just what I end up doing as I hate waste. If anyone knows the name of the pattern I’d like to know so put it in a sticker note please. Thank you- Toogie
