Hey Kitty Kitty Granny Squares Quilt

A charm pack with each charm cut into 2 1/2 inch squares and a background of 2 1/2 inch squares.  I made some 16 patches, split them diagonally and reassembled them.  Each block uses the equivalent of 3 charms worth of 2.5" squares PLUS the background 4 squares.  1 1/2 inch sashing.  A 4 1/2 inch border of a medium grey print and a fluffy batting.  Baby Quilt!

I grouped like colors together.  If made again, I would randomize the colors instead.  Now I know!

Sold on etsy.

Hexies Baby Quilt

I made this quilt following a tutorial on the Missouri Star WEB site.  I had the template already, since the hexie pattern is one I am very inspired by.  It is made with a charm pack of reproduction fabrics and a yard plus of Kona Snow.  I quilted it in rows and 3 columns.  I feel like I should spill some coffee on it to stain it so it looks more authentic!

Baby Doll for a Little Girl

First birthdays are very special!  This is a darling doll pattern, simple, easy to put together.  She is 10 1/2" tall, so a nice small size for a small child.  Made for Teresa on her first birthday.


That was so fun I decided to do it again!  This time it is a gift for a three year old Big Sister to Be!  Made for Avery at her Mom's Baby Shower.

Quartered Stripes Quilt

This one looks so difficult, but as usual, following a tutorial from Missouri Star Quilts, it's so easy to do!  Using striped fabric, it's big quarter-square-triangles.  The effects come from how you cut the triangles. 

Made this one for my son, to snuggle in while watching TV on the couch.  He likes orange, and it goes well with black and white.

Granny Squares Baby Quilt


When I first watched the video tutorial I was smitten!  The block has always made me smile, but it is usually a very labor intensive block.  I KNEW the Missouri Star tutorial would include short cuts.  It did not disappoint!  I used a small package of jelly roll strips, 19 different strips to be exact.  There were 9 white strips.  Then some 1" sashing and a few leftover squares for sashing stones.  It turned out darling!  I used scrappy leftovers to bind this quilt.

Half Square Triangles Quilt

Who doesn't love making and playing with HST's?  They are so incredible versatile.  Here I coupled a charm pack with white. Made the 4 HST's from each charm method with bias edges, then set them in a big 9 patch of pretty stars.  I used 1" sashing to give them a little room to breathe.


It's a baby sized quilt in bright non-baby fabrics.
