I used a bunch of pink and purple strips and left over binding from my scrap bin to make this cute jelly roll rug for my daughters room. I used the pattern from Roma Quilts and the precut batting rolls by Bosal to create this project. It was really fun. I think I might use the same concept to make some scrappy placemats.

Quick Curve Mini Runner

I made this table runner using the Quick Curve Mini Ruler and free pattern that came with it. I just used some solid fabrics and white that I had in my stash. I free motion quilted it on my domestic machine. It was so much fun to make. I was terrified of piecing curves, but this ruler made it so easy. The quick curve ruler is made by Sew Kind of Wonderful.

Dream Big by Hoffman panel

I fell in love with this panel and just had to free motion quilt it. It took me about a week and I used 3 different thread colors. I just love how it turned out. I think I will hang it on the wall above my sewing area.

Jelly Roll Race

This is an Amy Butler “Night Music” jelly roll with some coordinating modern solid squares put in every half a strip. It’s backed in Tula Pink’s “Free Fall” backing, and free motion quilted with an all over swirl meander on my domestic machine. The binding is Moda’s “Grunge hits the Spot” in dark purple.

Cascade

This is a quilt for my sister. I chose coordinating teal/turquoise fabrics and a batik white. The pattern was inspired by a quilt I saw on Pinterest. I used Yardage and fat quarters, mostly in batik. I free motion quilted it with an all over water meander pattern on my domestic machine with turquoise thread. I used the left over fabric to make a scrappy binding and backed it in a small turquoise dot print.

Sashed Cross Hatch

My husband wanted a quilt large enough to cuddle under for his 6’3” height. I used an Amy Smart pattern called Cross Hatch and then added more sashing. I used a Moda layer cake called Homegrown. I used my walking foot to quilt all the sashing and borders, and free motion quilted the triangles with a ruler.

Double Slice for Dad

I wanted a scrappy masculine quilt for my Dad. I used a Tim Holtz layer cake and the double slice tutorial from MSQC. I backed it in a newspaper print and quilted it in an all over stipple using my domestic machine. It’s a Christmas present for this year.

Spectrum Triangle

I wanted to experiment with solids across the color spectrum. I also wanted to do a triangle quilt and challenge myself. I got a solid jelly roll and ended up using one and then part of another. It was the Kona modern brights roll. I left out the pinks and purples. I made up the pattern and my 10 year old daughter helped me with the final layout. I quilted it at home with my walking foot using diagonal straight lines spaced 1” apart. I used the left over strips to make a rainbow binding. I think I might be brave enough to enter it in the San Diego Quilt Show in September.

Baby Orange Peel

I am making a large orange peel quilt for my sister’s wedding and wanted a smaller quilt to practice the free motion quilting designs. This is the result. I used some Kona Ivory Yardage for the background, one batik charm pack for the petals and batik scraps from another project for the border. I free motion quilted it on my home machine with So Fine 50 wt pastel yellow thread.

Butterflies for Emily

My daughter LOVES butterflies. I used a Kaffe Fassett jelly roll and the MSQC tutorial to make this quilt. I used a darker purple sashing between the wings to make the butterflies stand out more. I also backed it in a super plush fleece material so it’s extra snuggly. I free motion quilted it on my home machine with a free hand butterfly meander and loops.
