Quilts

WIP – baby quilt (expected 44” x 44”) As I was gathering fabrics for my next set of magpie girls I saw several fat quarters with pink. My brother and sister-in-law recently learned they are expecting a girl; my first soon to be niece needs a quilt. She’ll be baby sister to my two nephews […]

Happiness detail It took 7 months, but I finally finished my first hand quilted quilt. I used #8 perle cotton and fabrics from Anna Maria Horner. The hand quilting was inspired by Anna’s post about her stitching. The project made me happy so I named the quilt, happiness. Happiness (4’ x 5’)

I saw this pattern on Moda Bakeshop that I adapted to use larger cream pieces and not make the pieced back. Overall size is 65” square. The quilting is concentric squares. Top fabric is all from the Basic Grey Authentic line. Back is Heidi Grace Midnight Kiss fabric.

After making the birthday quilt, I was inspired to use fabric I had to make some other quilts. The celery green, cream and tan was springy and despite the quilt being square, the blocks didn’t stay square as I quilted. I’m still practicing my machine quilting on larger quilts – this one is 54” square.
