Fun quilts and tops

 I just finished this cute little quilt. It is a free Wiggly Whimsy tutorial I found on the Modabakeshop over here. I used strips to speed up the sewing.

 I used two different white fabrics with dots for the background.

 The dot fabric is leftover from these quilts.

 The green border ties it all together with a pretty contrast to the white.

 Washed and crinkled up.

I made a Chinese Coin Runner from the last few strips.

 I think a colored binding would look nice next to the plain white borders.

 A lady from the UK asked me to turn her Texas t-shirts into a quilt. She bought several t-shirts while staying in Texas for a while. She ask for random grey sashing strips and corner stones with a pieced Texas flag on the back.

 I used the blanket stitch on my machine to sew the star down.

 Finished back with flag.

 

 I framed the blocks with a red border and binding.

 Finished t-shirt quilt.

 I quilted another t-shirt quilt. This one is a donation fundraiser quilt for our local High School's  Project Graduation.

 

 I love to quilt scrappy quilts. I like to share two tops I quilted for Cathy. There is wool batting in both of her Pinwheel and Star quilts.

 

 Matching backing.

 Isn't this a beautiful Star quilt?

 

 I have been working on two of my 1930 reproduction tops. Both the Brick and 16 patch tops are coming along nicely.

 

 I got tired of adding these solid borders to the 16 patch blocks and was distracted by this cute pack of Marmelade charms. To stretch my charms I added a few fat quarters. I found this free Charm Plus  Moda pattern over here.

 With the Marmelade charm pack I also got this Honey Honey charm pack. I used leftover scraps from the Marmelade top and added a few more fat quaters. This is also a free Charm Tuesday Moda pattern found over here. To speed up the sewing again I sewed strips together and cut them in smaller units.

 Fast and fun little top.

 

Happy Saturday,

Finished Circle Quilt and more quilting and organizing

 I've been busy, done a lot of quilting and made a huge mess in my quilting room. I have a finished quilt. The Circle quilt is all done,  washed and crinkled up.

 Scrappy backing.

 I  have been quilting  beautiful quilt tops and would like to share them. Here's Barbara's Music quilt.

 I've quilted two T-shirt quilts. This is Sheri's quilt.

 Green and orange borders.

 I've also quilted two sampler quilts. Pat's yellow and blue sampler.

 Solid yellow backing.

 I finished the quilting on my Hugs and Kisses quilt.

 The center teal block is my favorite block.

 Now with all the quilting and sewing I did, my quilting room became very messy. I'm going to spend the next few days cleaning my sewing table and organizing my stash.

 Fabric sorted in groups, I like to organize my stash by color.

 The first bin I tackled was the blue one - my favorite color.

 This looks so much better. The smaller pieces on the carpet need to be cut into 5" and 2.5" strips. I like to have at least one cutting day per month.

Happy quilting,

Millie
