Pinwheel Finish
This was a quick little quilt for donation. It’s going to A Mother’s Hope at Margaret’s Hope Chest. It’s a good cause, and they want small quilts, 40″ x 60″, so these are quick to make up and only take a yard and three quarters for the backing. (Whoops, on checking the link, I see they want these even smaller, but they haven’t sent any of mine back!)
This back is a piece of Alexander Henry fabric I’ve had a looong time. It’s beautiful, but I never found a use for it, so I designed the quilt for it. I have something similar in blue/purple, so look for that sometime in the future.
The orange is almost the last of my Fairy Frost…
Enjoy your sewing time!
WIP Wednesday
Almost finished quilting!
Design Wall Monday
Beach Quilt #6, and Stash
It’s chilly here, but bright, so I snapped some pictures of the new Beach Quilt.
You can’t tell here, but the basket weave batik on the back is washed with a bit of aqua.
This will be SOLD in my Etsy Shop.
So that used 6.5 yards of fabric, some that was long in the stash, and I didn’t buy any this week. We’ll see how long that lasts!
This week: + 0 yards, – 6.5 yards
This year: + 30.75 yards, – 41 yards
Total destashed / added in 2020: 10.25 yards
Take care, everyone, and enjoy your sewing time.
Beach Quilts
These blocks were recently on my design wall, and are now assembled into my latest Beach Quilt.
In searching for quilting thread, this cone of Rainbows by Superior seemed way too yellow for this quilt. But I like the sheen, and my machine loves to sew with it, so I gave it a try.
The Twilters on Twitter felt it was just the dash of sunshine I needed.
I’ll show the finished quilt if when the storms clear up here.
Beach quilts have been popular in my Etsy shop, so I try to keep one there. These are five previous quilts, which I’ve shipped to three coastal states and Denmark. I love to make these- maybe one of these days I’ll keep one!
Take care of yourselves!
Spring Flowers Quilt
Here we are! I love this quilt! It really says spring to me.
It started with a panel from FabricUtopia on Etsy. At 25 by 44″, it seemed too large for a wall hanging, so I made it into a throw quilt. I don’t know the name of the flower block. I didn’t use a tutorial, just inprovised it from some photos on line.
The back is a different green, but I couldn’t resist the birds and roses print.
It’s quilted front and back with white Bottom Line from Superior. The flowers and butterfly are quilted with Rainbows.
This will be SOLD in my Etsy shop!
