Birthday Panel Quilt

Found this great panel of powerful girls at my favorite Anaheim Fabric Warehouse.  Just in time for Kendall's 5th birthday!  There were 8 panels, so I added a 9th, center panel of pink HST's to make it even. I added a lightweight cotton batting, and backed it with rainbow horses flannel, so it's nice and cozy!

She loved it!

Dramatic Baby Tumbler Quilt

I made 2 tumbler quilts at the same time, for the second sons of two different friends.  This one is dramatic, bright, not traditionally baby colors, and the setting is also unusual, the tumblers set into columns, and balanced one on top of the other.  I used a black and white charm pack (with a few black and white squares left over from other projects) and a little over a yard of red cotton.  I discovered my Wal Mart has 100% cotton solids for $3 a yard.  I have washed it, and it's color fast.  Who Knew?

This one is also stitched in the ditch.

Sporty Tumbler Quilt

For a friend's second child, and second boy, I chose a tumbler pattern.  I love this pattern, there is so much variety in settings, color, placement.  I started with a sports themed charm pack. I used this same charm pack in another baby quilt recently and wanted to use the same colors but make this look totally different.  I used a near solid blue sparingly, then more intensively to give it a modern look.

Simply machine quilted in the ditches.

Sister's Choice Quilt for Baby

I made this baby quilt out of 4 leftover blocks from the quilt I made for my Mother-In-Law's birthday quilt. I had 4 blocks and a few scraps and partial block pieces, exactly enough to make this sweet white muslin quilt.  I love white muslin.  It's so soft when washed, with a little texture.  So white. Imperfect. It shrinks nicely, giving my quilts that rumply feeling I love.
