Pinwheels Quilt for a Baby Girl

I have made hundreds and hundreds of quilts over the many years of my quiltmaking.  And half square triangles?  Yeah.  Probably at least a hundred of that pattern.  But in ALL that time I never put together a PINWHEEL!  It was time, after seeing a darling baby quilt made by a first timer, I realized I needed to make one.  So, into my charm pack collection and a yard of solid pink, and a remnant for the border, this is what came out!

A Picnic Quilt On Point

Another quilt inspired by a tutorial on Missouri Star Quilt's You Tube channel.  Simplified the on point random setting for a square quilt!  OK, had to try it.  YES!  Easy! 


Backed in a dense navy print and the batting a warm and natural with body, this quilt will be a gift for someone's picnic basket!

Autograph Quilt

As my friend packs up a lifetime in So. Cali and readies to move her family to Wyoming, we know we will miss her smile and professional expertise.  A Lot. 

A rail fence seemed appropriate to the new locale, and gave plenty of space to pen love, wishes and memories.

Sister's Choice Baby Qiuilt

An old friend is happily anticipating meeting her second grandchild, a little sister to her first. She told me the quilt theme is "Purple and Silver" and that she was having a hard time locating things for the nursery in this color scheme.  DING DING DING!  A challenge!

Not my usual color scheme, I had to SHOP! for a few fabrics to put this one together.  Why have I not used purple often? I like how this turned out!  I LOVE the Sister's Choice block, always putting the colors together a little differently.  Quilted overall in a 2 inch grid, it's ready to snuggle the new baby.

Tumbling Blocks Quilt

This block has always been fascinating, and now that I have finally made one, I want to make 100!  I want to make one in monochromatic colors, I want to make one in stripes, I want to make one with black spaces, and for babies, and for a man!
