LaurelS | Quiltsby.me

I had some yardage in my stash I wanted to use, so I used Jenny's Half & Half tutorial. I cut my squares at 6" instead of 10" for a smaller quilt. I used a garden design to embroider in the center white squares for interest. I didn't have enough of the pink fabric for the back, so I split it and used pieces of leftover print fabric in the center to make it large enough.

Baby Quilt - Elephants

I used scraps to make a shower gift for a co-worker. Nursery theme is grey and elephants. I used a vintage baby elephant embroidery set for the light squares, and an elephant print flannel for the backing.

Postage Stamp Quilt

I bought the Afternoon in the Attic jelly roll, and wanted to show off the beautiful floral prints. I decided on the postage stamp quilt using a sixteen patch pattern. I used my walking foot to quilt from corner to corner, every other block.

Scrap string quilt

I picked this project for my scraps using one of Jenny's tutorials. I sewed them onto leftover pieces of batting instead of using paper, and added the backing after the top was finished.

Baby Quilt

A co-worker asked me to make a baby quilt as a shower gift. I used the Carina layer cake, and Jenny's Missouri Star tutorial for the top. I used a soft minky for the back, and appliqued a heart in the center of the back so the heart outline would show on the front.

Poppy Pillows

I bought this bright fabric as an impulse, then decided to make a pair of pillows with it. This was the first time I tried adding piping, and was happy with how easy it is.

Half Square Triangles

I love the look of half-square triangle quilts but was intimidated at the thought of all the cutting and piecing. I found Jenny's Quick Snips tutorial on making falling triangles, which I used with the 5" squares

Anna's Quilt

I was the photographer for our humane society's annual fund-raising calendar, and made a dear friend from Germany. She's a graphic artist, and has traveled all over Europe with France being a favorite. She loves handmade items, and I wanted to make something special for her. This print made me think of the French countryside. I used Jenny's "Double Sliced Layer Cake" tutorial because it really shows off the print.
