Jillane's projects

My son's GF was gifted a sewing machine and wanted to learn to sew. She is a quick learner, and with a bit of instruction put together her first project. This strip quilt is for her new niece. I quilted it for her with a swirl chain and various fillers.

This quilt is for a good friend. I used the, tree, star, and house blocks from Miss Rosie's Farmhouse Favorites. The barn and church block patterns I found on the internet and made a couple of modifications so they fit with the other blocks. I used wool batting and minky on the back.

I used the Quick and Easy Block Tool book for the flower blocks and then added the borders. Quilted on my longarm babylock coronet. Quilters dream white poly batting for extra loft and pale pink minky on the back. The flanged binding was a bit disappointing, The dark gray flange fabric shows through the diagonal pink stripe binding making it look a little dingy. Lesson learned.

Left overs! Quilted on a baby lock coronet.

This quilt is loosely based on the good fortune quilt. I used the blue and grey HST left over corners to make circle of friends blocks and then inserted them with coping stirps. Added 9 patches to the sashing. I still have some of the layer cake left so decorative pillows will be added. The quilting is again inspired by Angela Walters. This is for the guest room full size bed, just in time for Easter,

I had a layer cake that I purchased a couple of years ago and decided to try some curved piecing. I was inspired by the "Old Mill Path" tutorial on MSQC. The fabric print is a little busy for the quilt pattern, kind of hard on the eyes.... I added a couple of borders to tone down the fabric a bit, I used wool batting and minky on the back. Minimal quilting kept it pretty soft.
