Migrating Geese Twin Baby Quilts

 A friend is expecting twins!  A boy and a girl. She requested some quilts that were "twin" themed.  I had 2 beautiful charm packs in stash that really filled that request very nicely.  I coupled it with 10 4 1/4" strips of white/grey cut into blocks to make these quilts. There are pleanty of these migrating geese blocks left over, so I made a little diaper carrying wallet with both sets of colors. 



There are 7 columns of 20 geese units. One column they fly north and the next they fly south. Each quilt is primarily "blue" or "pink" while incorporating 4 blocks of the other color to remind them of their life together in the womb.

Virgen De Guadalupe Quilt

 The fabric I found in my favorite Anaheim Warehouse spoke to me. In fact it shouted to me, Buy Me! Make Me! So, I did, and it sat in stash for several years. 

I went into stash and pulled out a few random other things, like these "milagros" to give it a little variety. I used mainly 4 colors for the square in a square setting, a red, green, blue and yellow small patterns. Quilted along the seam lines, with a nice cotton batting, here they are!

It is a generous lap sized quilt. The binding is strips cut from the squares. 



Sold! On etsy

Peace Out: A Quilt for Myself

 I was inspired by a quilt tutorial online and a collection of unique peace-signs and sixties psychedelic fabrics to make a cuddle quilt just for me!  Set on a black background, with a polyester batting, and the back another in theme fabric, it's so ME and I love it.

Baby Geese in Green

 I have made a few quilts from this green vehicles collection of fabrics. They are really cute, non traditional and just CUTE! 

So, traditional flying geese, set in columns, and made just because.
