Spring quilts and decorating

 I absolutely love the Spring season. After this long winter season, it is wonderful to make a few quilts in soft pastels and setting out a few bunnies for Easter. I found these unfinished blocks, but have no idea where I put the pattern.

 I sewed the blocks together and added a few orphan tulip blocks.

 I quilted the quilt with a flowery panto.

A border in pink and green.

I finished the quilting on the scrappy 5" block quilt. It will look so nice on my bed. Can't wait to get the binding done.

 A wonderful blogging friend mailed me a surprise bag of scraps. Some of the scraps went into this String quilt. Most of her string fabric went into another String quilt for my daughter. I will share that next time. It is so nice to receive and share scraps with other quilters.

 I quilted this beautiful scrappy Bow Tie quilt for Julie.  It is such a pretty quilt in soft spring colors.

 I can see myself in the near future making a pastel Bow Tie quilt with a pretty scrappy border.

 A few bunnies on the mantel. 

 More spring decorations - a frog and a green egg.

  Two more quilts in spring colors on display.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I wishing you all a happy spring season.

String quilts

 This is a happy quilt in spring/summer colors like pink, blue, green and purple. I quilted this String-X quilt a month ago and never found time for the binding. I used Bonnie's tutorial over here.

 It's not spring yet, but because of this color scheme it feels like spring . The binding is sewed on and I can't wait to get the hand sewing done.

 

 I also worked on a few more string blocks. These string blocks started out big enough for a twin size, but it's growing now so it'll soon fit a queen size bed.

 

 Another scrappy quilt I am working on, a pink and green quilt made from 5" squares. This top went so fast and has a real cottage charm. I dont think I'm going to add a border. Do you think I should?

Thank you so much for your visit. Do you enjoy making quilts from your scraps?

String quilts are defintetly my favorite quilts to make.

Millie

Thirties 16 Patch Quilt

 Yeah, my 16 patch is quilted. I started this scrappy quilt at least two years ago and thought I'm never going to get it done. I added a few solid squares with the 30's reproduction fabric.

 I'm glad I went with a border. Now I can't wait to get the binding on.

 Another top I quilted and I love how the quilting shows up on the white fabric. I am going to keep this one for myself.

 I quilted Michelle's Cake Mix quilt. The fabric is beautiful. I made a Cake Mix quilt before for myself using a layer cake and jelly roll, but I think it will make an adorable scrappy quilt. I'm always looking for cute and fast patterns to use my stash.

 

Happy quilting,

Millie

Happy quilts

 My quilts make me happy and I love to create quilts from my stash. I have a finished Hugs and Kisses quilt. It washed up beautifully and I love how the quilts crinkled up after that first wash.

 Not only do I enjoy making quilts, but I absolutely love the quilting process. I can do it all day long, I wish I never have to cook and clean. lol I quilted this bright top for Jana.

 She used a panel, the border on the left is a cut-up panel.

 Cheerful yellow backing.

 Scrappy quilts are my favorite and Julie makes the most beautiful scrappy quilts. She used 1" strips to make this Jewel Box quilt.

 Plain white backing,

 Another Log Cabin I quilted for Julie.

 White backing again.

 I did not do a lot of cleaning, but a lot of quilting for myself. This weekend I will have to do some housework. I like how the Bubbles quilting turned out on this little quilt.

Blue backing from my stash, although this is a very traditional piece of fabric I think it goes well with the more modern charms. I like to use old fabric from my stash with the more modern tops.

 Another top I finished the quilting on.

This will be a cute happy little quilt when it is done. My youngest daughter's favorite color is orange and there is a lot of it in this quilt.

 I like this one too. I do like blue and purple, the colors calm me down. And with all the stress going on in the world I need more calmness around me.

 More purple on the back.

 I love the 1930's reproduction fabrics and I adore how the quilting on my Whirlygig's turn out.

 Very old green fabric from my stash for the backing, I think I have had it for more than ten years.

 My zig-zag quilt has been quilted. I like how the quilting on the white fabrics shows up so nicely.

 

 

 Now with all the quilts I have finished, I have a lot of binding work left to do. I have my Hugs and Kisses quilt displayed in my quilting room.

Happy Quilting,

Millie
