Baby Quilts Finished - Yeah!

I love having a deadline. Baby shower at 11:30 Friday. I got up at 5:00 this week to finish up the two baby quilts needed for today. I had already decided I could gift them unfinished, but finished is better. And it's a finish for my 2016 First Quarter Goal!

DNA quilt. Love Kate Spain and the Sunnyside fabric grew on me for the babyquilt. That plus my grandson loved it.

I am very proud of this next baby quilt. I consider this a scrap quilt so I am extremely pleased it turned out. It was all the leftovers from the Asterix quilt finished in January.

Baby quilts 2 & 3 finished and gifted! Yeah!

WIP Wednesday - Long Weekend Style

We had a long weekend, Family Day in BC. I was sick with a cold all weekend. Growl! Beautiful weather and I could not enjoy it. Too sick to even want to sew, gasp! I did manage some progress and this is always heartening.

Worked on my Valentine's Day quilt, Sweet Little Words. All the blocks are done. I am calling this Nanny's Love Quilt!

Finished all the blocks for the Wee Play Shortcake quilt. Love this one!

Ironed and sewed a few squares of the truck quilt. Looking really cute however I think more contrast in the blocks would be better. I have wanted to make this pattern forever. It is a moda bakeshop pattern that caught my eye years ago and it is living up to its promise.

I started some Valentine's Day mug rugs for my family based on a tutorial I saw on the Sew Lux Blog.

Oh and I finished a baby quilt top. Not one of the 5 I had on my list mind you!

And started another! This one was on my list. Not sure i am liking the colours but will sew it up and see if it grows on me.

WIP Wednesday - Sunnyside is a quilt

Yay! I am not sure what it is about vacations but I jumped up this morning and started putting tops with backs! Laid out the batting to relax and just generally made a total mess of the apartment. Got home from work, looked around at the disaster and did not feel like doing anything.  Made myself grab all the bits and head to the common room. Got to hand it to apartment living, I have three large tables I can pin my quilts on.

The quilt is now quilted and and bound! Yeah! It is hard to see in the picture but the stripe works quite well. I am very pleased. It is from my stash.

I wanted it to go quick so used wavy lines in the diagonal. Quite liking the wavy lines on this quilt, as it makes me think of rain.

 The back was purchased specifically for my cousin who requested blue. This is definitely blue.

Finished my July bee blocks! And they are in the mail. Love the woven block but I am unsure whether I used the correct colours, hope they will do.

WIP Wednesday

Where did that month go? Still working on the projects from last month.

Baby quilt finished and gifted. I love making baby quilts, mostly because I love babys! ABC Menangerie top and a Feedsack III for the backing. I am developing a real crush on the reproduction prints. Love. I sewed the binding down by machine. I am telling myself it is more durable.

March Bee Block completed. I am in awe of my Bee Mates and their forward thinking planning skills. They picked a block then sent out fabric and paper pieced patterns! Wow!!!

April Bee Block completed. I may be starting to warm up to paper piecing.

Sunnyside is still sitting there, waiting to be completed. I bought batting, I had a plan for the weekend, I was getting that quilt out the door, and I cut it too small. Who does that? Measure twice cut once!  Could have sworn I measure four times, easily. Sigh!

I now have Seascape and  Green Lattice sewn together as tops. And I have the backing! Maybe the cut too small batting from project above will fit, grrr.
