QuiltsByJo

I have been making quilts for a very long time. I really enjoy the creative process of putting together colors and patterns. I have made so many quilts over the years I can't remember them all. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I do.

Scrappy Triangle Quilt
I found this tutorial on Film In The Fridge (filminthefridge.com) and loved the pattern and mixture of colors. It is a good scrap buster because you can use all shapes and sizes. It is straight line quilted like the one on the site. It was a fun project.

Double Crossed
I made this quilt for a gentleman that has recently retired. He moved to South Carolina and promises to send me a photo of himself with it on his lap, in his rocking chair on the front porch. Maybe when the weather is cooler. It is an Amy Smart pattern but it resembles Summer in the Park. I am trying that one next. I did FMQ on my Babylock.

Modern String Quilt
This was my first string quilt. The tutorial from MSQC made it so easy. I save all my little scrap pieces for projects like this one.

Bitty Bunting Quilt
A co-worker in my office was expecting twins - a boy and girl. When I saw this project on Moda Bake Shop I knew it was perfect. I made one in blue and one in pink.

Bitty Bunting Quilt
I made this for a co-worker expecting twins - boy and girl. I also posted the pink one. The pattern is from Lisa Calle of Vintage Modern Quilts. It can be found in Moda Bake Shop. I used Kona Cotton fabric and scraps for the flags. It is a fun project.

Orange Peel Quilt
I made this quilt to fit the king sized bed in our 5th wheel camper. I added a scalloped border around the bottom half and omitted where the bed fits in the slide. Anyone that has tried to shove a comforter down the sides of a bed in a slide out will appreciate this. It has 244 5" squares and took 12 hours to FMQ. I quilted around the orange peels which makes an interesting pattern on the back. Two tutorials from MSQC assisted me in making this quilt. The orange peel and the scalloped edge tutorials. The scallop tool works great. I love this quilt.

Argyle Quilt
I made this quilt for my husband. I wanted something masculine and after searching through many patterns, I made this one up myself. I looked at men's socks for inspiration. :-) It is very large and heavy so it ended up as a couch quilt in the camper. It is made with Kona cotton fabric and quilted tightly in a stipple pattern.

Flying Geese
I made this quilt several years ago before I started doing my own FMQ. The lady that quilted it for me did a very nice job.

Confetti Race
This is a take off of the Jelly Roll Race 3.0 quilt. Instead of white triangles, I used white strips. The strips are WOF cut in half so I ended up with more triangles. The triangles are scraps. I made a wavy edge and a patterned fabric for backing. The quilting is straight line in the center and interior border and stipple in the exterior border. This was a fun and easy quilt to make.

Sunburst Quilt
This is a Geta Grama inspired quilt. I found the tutorial on Elsie's Girl blog. I made this quilt for a co-worker who is expecting a baby next month. I am happy with the way it turned out. The quilting pattern is a flowering vine that meanders through the sunburst blocks. Natalie, my talented, artistic daughter, drew the vine, leaves and flowers on the quilt for me to follow. She even added a few curly offshoots for added interest.

Rail Fence Rag Quilt
I made this quilt for our son Ryan. This is the first rag quilt I have made with 100% cotton fabric. I usually use flannel. I think it came out well. He loves it.

Bow Tie Quilt
This was a sweet labor of love for a friend of mine and his family moving to Prauge for a few years. He always wears bowties so I and a few friends made him a bowtie quilt.

Summer in the Park
Summer in the Park is a quick and fun quilt. I went scrappy by mixing up the blocks. I'd probably not use the navy and red strips or the very light background with large print. I used quilt as you go on the 16" squares. I was really happy to see how well the pre-quilting lines came together where blocks joined.

Cleo Squares
I made two quilts with one layer cake; this one and a Double Slice. I believe I cut the 10" squares down to 8 1/2" to use the trimmings in the narrow border. I photographed this one among Japanese Irises.
