Squares and Shadows

This quilt, for me, is very restrained.  In stark white and pastels, solids, the blocks are all the same, no surprise red or green anywhere. I quilted it by machine in an allover 2 inch grid. Laundered, it crinkled up nicely. It's for "a baby."

Bright Happy Baby Flowers

Experimenting with a setting from a book called "Circle Of Nine." You make 9 blocks (about the number I can make before getting bored!) and then make some half sized rectangles and such for staggering the 9 blocks in a circle. I really like the effect!   This is a little girl quilt, to be donated to a premature baby who is going home from the hospital soon.

The charm pack was named "LOL"

Birthday for a Momma

What mother doesn't delight in little reminders of their precious children?  So I got my grandkids to make me some handprints (or in the case of the new baby footprints!) on muslin squares.  Then I set them in a bright happy collection of charms and bordered it all with some Happy Birthday Cakes.

Happy 34th birthday to Amber. 

Little Cabanas

Just a darling small wall quilt to celebrate springy tropical colors and themes!

Arrowheads for Shannon

A lightweight spring quilt for the other grandmother of my Grandson.  Made with a 1/8ths pack of 12 fabrics (fabric of the month club!) and some white on white that belonged to my mother, and was in her Irish Chain prize winning quilt she made for my niece Carrie many years ago.  At one time she wanted to add a larger border to her hand-quilted double bed sized quilt, and so bought yards and yards of the fabric.  The quilt was already finished and bound.... THAT sounded like a project!  She didn't remake it, my niece adores it as is, and I have been able to add my mother's fabric to important sentimental quilts over the years.

Acrobats

This small project (approx 20 inches square) was a little fun diversion with an hour of time in the sewing studio.  I picked up the leftover charms of 2 baby quilts made this year, and just put them together as half square triangles.  Then I did it again, making the quarter square patches.  Then I flipped through my quilt block calendar and found a block named ACROBAT that used up my scraps along with some other squares I had lying around.    I had one block left over, and into the orphan box it went to be included in a scrap quilt some day.

Landon's Baby Quilt

Baby quilts are among my very favorite things to make.  The size is perfect, and they are always exciting to give away.  Here is a quilt for the first child of a young friend I watched grow up. Congratulations!
