Made this for a co-worker. I used a free pattern on Craftsy, and added the borders. She said she had been secretly hoping that I would make her a quilt, so she loved it! Check the deets on my blog: http://intricatesimplicitydesigns.blogspot.com/2016/04/patchwork-heart.html

Orchid Shadows

I bought this fabric to make a quilt for my Sister-in-Law for her birthday...before I learned that her favorite color is blue! Anyway, I added a little more navy blue, but she'll still love it, I'm sure! :-)

Birthday Ribbon Stars

My BFF's 50th birthday is this year, and I just HAD to make her a quilt! This is my first quilt using a jelly roll, and it was so fun and easy...I obsessed about this pattern after I saw Jenny's tutorial, so I had to make it!

Something's Fishy

Used Jenny's "Attic Windows" tutorial and some stash fabric to make this lovely aquarium quilt to hang on my office wall. Still have to finish it up.

Sk8r Quilt

My 12-year old son is OBSESSED with skating...he does it EVERY day to learn crazy tricks that I can barely remember the names of. This quilt is absolutely perfect for him, and he picked the colors himself. The cardinal board is our little inside joke, and will be the binding once I get around to quilting this thing. :-D

Flannel Flowers

I bought this kit from my LQS (Hi Primitive Gatherings in Murrieta, CA!), b/c I fell in love with the store sample! This was my first time: using smallish HST units to make 6" blocks, fussy-cutting a panel, and quilting flannel. This was so fun, and I learned so much (esp. about how not to lose triangle points in seams-smh), I'm already planning another version!

Cute As a Bug

My niece carries around a tattered red w/black polka dot blankie she's had since she was a baby. When I made my mom a rag quilt, she said that she would even give up her blankie if she got a quilt like that. What choice did I have, but to make her a new ladybug blankie out of cuddly flannel with a black minky back. She loves it! :-)

Good Deed Quilt

My friend, who is not a quilter, volunteered to make a quilt for her church's women's retreat out of squares the ladies decorated. Once she started asking me what making a quilt entailed, she started freaking out :-) I tried walking her through, but when I tried explaining binding, I figured it would be easier if I just did it for her. So, here's my good deed...

Trev's Hockey Quilt

My 10-year old son wanted to quilt like me, so I made him do it start to finish. He picked out the fabric, the top design, and the border design. I set him up on my old machine, showed him how to work it, including how to thread & troubleshoot it, and he did an awesome job piecing together this quilt top! This is based on Jenny's "Snowball 4 Patch Quilt" tutorial. He did request help, and I sewed the borders, but other than that, the credit is all his!

Pinwheels & Prairie Points

This quilt is so simple, but so stunning because of the fabric, which was a Daily Deal from MSQC. I made the double-layer prairie points out of one strip of fabric, so it is not only gorgeous, but easy! I'm going to back this with super-soft aqua Ultra Comfy fabric w/a layer of white flannel in the middle as batting to help the white pop. This quilt really just makes me happy, so it will be MINE once I get it all finished up!!

Five and Dime

I saw Jenny's tutorial, and I HAD to do this one! It is pretty straightforward with minimal opportunity for me to mess up ;-) I love the dark colors, and I'll be trying out a Quilt-As-You-Go technique for quilting this large top.
