My niece is expecting her first child and requested that I make a baby quilt with the colors black, gold and white. Here's the finished quilt. I had purchased earlier this year a group of fat quarters at a quilt show with no idea what I was planning to do with them. So I was surprised when she requested the black, gold and white and that I had fabrics with those colors already.

Summer in the Park

I saw the tutorial for this quilt and thought sure that looks easy I'll do it over thanksgiving break. Wow not as easy as I thought especially for the third quilt I'd made. It's a great pattern!

Modern shades of grey and green

There are so many new grey and green prints appearing in quilt stores right now. I wanted to do a simple symmetric design to show off the ones I was collecting. This pattern allowed me to keep the quilting in straight vertical lines with accent lines in the sashing using a decorative stitch with a variegated green thread.

A MIX BREED, OOPS - A MIX QUILT, "GoodNight Irene"

My nephew, Luke and soon to be niece, Becka are getting married. For Becka's shower I wanted to make them a quilt. We had a craft night in painting her seating arrangement birds. She had all fall colors. When I came across Moda, Tiger Lily Batiks, I knew this was going to be the colors of her quilt. I finally decided on the pattern to be the "Goodnight Irene Quilt" because of the lovely story behind it. {{MSQC Block Magazine Spring Vol 2. Issue 2}} The deadline date to complete this quilt was coming closer than comfort. All the blocks are made, money was short, experience shorter, therefore, A Mix Quilt was born. The blocks were sewn as a Quilt as You Go. {{ When sewing them together didn't work. }} I decided to sew them together as a Fun & Done Pattern with a little adjustment. This adjustment was sewing the sashing to the back of the quilt not the front. (( I wanted to cover the least amount of the Batik fabric.)) I did use the Fun & Done Technique to do the binding. I am now going to wrap this special gift.

Wrapped In Love

This quilt is for a relative who will be undergoing surgery soon. We can't be there in person so I'm sending this quilt for a long distance hug.

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.

Persimmon Stars

I love the colors in the Basic Grey Persimmon collection. Finally found a pattern I liked after using up several 5" charms. Good thing I had 3 or 4 packs of them. This is the first quilt I have tried Free Motion Quilting on. All other tests were smaller. I'm quite pleased with how it all came together.

Ninga's stars

When my grandson was first learning to talk, he called me Ninga. That was his way of saying grandma. The name stuck and 12 years later I am still Ninga to my grandkids. When I asked him if I could make him a quilt he said he would like it soft and "manly." So I made it with all flannels and wool batting. It turned out better than I expected! The Ninja stars, or friendship stars, became Ninga's stars. I hope he likes it as much as I enjoyed making it for him.

Optics

I tried my hand at a transparency quilt and designed this. It's 60 x 72" and entirely pieced, no applique! I submitted this quilt to a magazine but it wasn't accepted, whew thinking it over now there's no way I'd want to write a pattern for this. www.quiltachusetts.com

Building Blocks by Moda Bake Shop pattern

I found this darling baby fabric so then I found the pattern for free on Moda's web site. It goes together easily. You don't have to have the center square monogrammed, but I thought it made it special. I put Cuddle Cloth on the back of both quilts. Moms and babies love it! I have one pink quilt & one blue quilt pictured.

Erika's Paint Box

Most of the time, when I start a quilt, I don't know who will be the recipient until I'm halfway through. So this quilt is going to be Christmas gift to my son and his wife. She is an art teacher, and as I began making this quilt, the more I looked at it, the more it reminded me of watercolor bricks of paint...thus the name! I used the MSQC illusion pattern but used layer cake 10" squares. Then I added one giant shadow to make it look like the whole top had a shadow, because the quilt needed to be King-sized. I tried to make it look like the sun was shining on the upper left corner, down to the bottom right so it followed the light spectrum of a rainbow...red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
