Baby Broken Dishes

 This quilt is made for a new baby coming to a parishioner family. The baby girl is a first baby and her family requested blues, greens and browns, with any quilting being floral another geometric. 

I love the crisp simplicity of the broken dishes Block made from 2 5 inch charms. I pondered it for a bit since "geometric" was not favored for the quilting. I made a simple loopy line along the blocks to keep the quilting soft and curves.

There is a pretty label on the back to add a name and date. 

I made floral feathers in the borders, then a binding of the leftovers from the fat quarters used to make the blocks. 

 

Quatrefoil For The Principal

 Ms. Sarah has been the most supportive principal you can imagine for Ezekiel from kinder through 3rd grade. She welcomed us during the pandemic, and supported us through his second grade diagnosis of ADHD. 

So this year when we learned of her promotion we were of course thrilled for her career advancement but so sad to see her leave!

I used a Missouri Star tutorial to construct the blocks.

I delivered it to the school and it was sent to all the classrooms for students, teachers and staff to sign.

Floral Ohio Star Quilt

 I made this generous lap quilt from leftover 10" squares from another project (Jacobs Ladder for Erika) and plain white yardage purchased in bulk online for $2.99 a yard. 

It has 20 10 1/2" blocks made from a Missouri Star pattern and it finished at 53 x 66.

I like to free motion the borders off the frame on the Juki.

I made swirls all over the place over the quilt body. Serpentine lines on the side borders.  Some feathers and other designs on each top and bottom borders. 

The quilt frame makes all the difference in my free motion quilting. I have space and can glide my quilt over it to quickly and easily fill on my dense designs.

This quilt is listed for sale on etsy for $130.
