Treasure Box Baby Quilt

Missouri Star puts up a tutorial every week, and tey look so impressive that I often must IMMEDIATELY make one!  So, with this quilt.
They designed it, named it, picked out te colors.  I omitted one small border out of laziness (and a desire to keep the width under 39" so I didn't have to piece the back....) and here is my version:

Split Four Patch Baby Quilt

I was commissioned to make a baby boy quilt and FAST! for a prematurely born baby. The Split four patch (or disappearing four patch) is always quick, fast, fun and looks like a LOT of complex piecing was done.

Split Nine Patch Graduation Quilt

My granddaughter Miranda has graduated high school!  Congratulations!  Her other grandma and I shopped together for fabrics to make her a large lap quilt to mark this achievement.

Pink and blacks, a combination of girly, elegant, fun!  Just like her.  She excells in dance, so dancing is featured, as well as travel, adventure and beauty.

Everyone in the family inscribed the back, so it's full of greetings, love and memories and good wishes. 

Celestial Stars Quilt

I had a pack of charm squares that inspired this quilt.  The dark blues have stars and planets and swirls on them, and they contrasted so well with the mustardy yellow suns and swirls.  Then I saw the pattern on a Missouri Star tutorial... and the quilt idea was born!

Now, my setting.  Not as originally planned.  I made 4 blocks at one sitting, and came back later and finished 2 blocks.  When I went to arrange the blocks on the table, I realized I had made mirror images of the sets.  They did not flow into each other they way they were supposed to!

So I decided to offset the blocks so their edges would not show that I had messed up the design.  I had only a 1 1/2" strip of the background fabric left over when I was done, so that was lucky I had just enough to set them!  The plan had been to make a 36" square for hanging on the quilt rack in the dining room, but the setting made it bigger, so I added a border and finished it as a lap quilt instead.  

It was gifted to a friend at church as a memorial quilt. 

Memory Signature Quilt

I got a LAST minute notice that our Nurse Manager of many years would be retiring at the end of the month, Oh, and could I finish the quilt in a few days to go to a party and be signed?

Whew!

So, into the cupboard of UFO's I went.  (UFO= Unfinished Objects) I found this great nine patch quilt top I made last summer with lots of white space.  In fact, so much white space that when I completed the quilt top, I thought it was too simple and plain!  It's made from a charm pack, some pale icey blue/green and a nice amount of pure white muslin

Zoom zip, backed, quilted, bound, and it's ready to be enhanced with signatures, drawings, good wishes and memories!

Vintage Baby Quilt

A young friend of mine is happily expecting her first child and is so excited!  I sat with her and asked her about the nursery, h colors, themes, ideas.  She described her ideas as not "cutsie" but vintage, and showed me a picture of a large red rose on a white background.  With that as my starting point, I selected these fabrics that feature large flowers and green leaves and white to make some classic blocks.  I hope this is what she had in mind!
