Quarter Triangle Quilt

This is another top that has been finished for awhile.

 

I quilted it with a simple panto in green thread to add some more color

 

 

 

 

 

 

and I used a hot pink/purple thread on the back to

make the quilting pattern show

(not sure I did the right thing)

 

 

 

Yea!! Another one finished.

I have about 4 more throw size and

two queen size to go

and am saving my very favorite for last

 

I hope you are having a fun weekend doing the things you like

until later - Carol

 

 

 

 

Utopi Quilt

I love this Utopi fabric from Art Gallery and love the simple strip quilt I made with it

 

The colors are so bright and cheerful and the prints are so cute

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted to make it a little wider so

 I just did two side borders

I like this look

 

 

and I just did straight line quilting

I love the way the straight lines look

 

I seem to be getting so much done lately

Some of these quilt tops have been finished

way too long

 

I hope you are having a fun day doing the things you enjoy doing

Minions Quilt

My grandson is crazy for Minions so I had to make him a quilt.

 

I bought the panel and thought I would do a simple border around it

with one of the fabrics in the minion line

but I happened upon this free pattern

and decided to make it.

 

 

the back is done in this cute minion print.

 

We have 8 grandchildren 3 boys 5 girls

ages 18 months - 17 years old.

When we have them over for the night we divide them

into two nights - girl's night, and boy's night.

Last time they stayed we had two days of going to see

the Minions at the Movie Theater.....

although I prefer characters that can talk, it wasn't

as bad as I thought it would be.

Everyone had a good time!

 

I hope you are having a good day!

Quarter Circle Quilt

I saw this quilt in a magazine and fell in love with it. I pulled out my computer right away and got started ordering the fabric.

 

I think my favorite thing is this bicycle fabric

 

It was very easy to make, you just applique circles onto a square

then you cut the square down the center horizontally and vertically and

then mix them up and sew 4 different ones back together.

Now all that is left to do is to sew a corner triangle onto each

corner of the block and sew the blocks together to make a quilt.

 

 

 

I used a solid grey fabric for the binding and the quilt back

 

 

 

and now I am ready to snuggle up in it!!

 

I hope you are having a fun week doing the things you enjoy

arrow quilt

My daughter wanted to make a baby quilt for a friend so I designed this quilt in EQ. Then it turned out she wanted to make a rag quilt.  Every time I went into EQ and saw this quilt pattern I wanted to make it.

 

so I did

 

I didn't have anyone to give it to so I gave it to

my daughter (she just opened a shop on Etsy)

and told her she could have it for her shop.

It looks just like I thought it would

 

I used my Sashiko to make some cute faux hand stitching

She has some really cute rag quilts for sale too.

I hope you are having some fun too!!

Frozen Quilt

I made this quilt back in December 2014. I didn't blog about it because I kept thinking I would get a picture of it on the bed in my granddaughters Frozen bedroom. Her bedroom turned out so cute!!

 

I made the border a little wider at the top so the design is

 centered when the top of the quilt is folded down

 

 

and I appliqued her name onto the top

 

and added some pretty polka dots to the back

 

I hope you are enjoying your week-end

doing the things you like to do!!!

Lap Quilt for the Beach

Another quilt that was so much fun to make......well, I don't think I have ever met a quilt that wasn't fun to make

fabric with sunglasses and beach chairs is just perfect

to kick back in a recliner and snuggle up with

while at the beach

 

and the bright colors I love so much

make it even better

 

 

the fabric line is Sanibel by Moda.

and here is a look at the back.

 

I hope you have a fun week-end doing the things you enjoy!

until later- Carol
