My Blue and Green Quilts

Blue is my  favorite color.  I would like to share a few of my blue and green quilts. The first quilt  is  blue and brown.  I love geometric shapes and enjoy making quilts with squares. Almost every quilt  I  made has had some kind of polka dot fabric in it.

This quilt has these cute blue and brown dot fabrics.

 I like the brown backing.

 This is another favorite quilt of mine...blue and green pinwheels. I added some yellow to the cool colors.

I have washed this quilt so many times and  it is getting softer with every wash.

Blue backing to match the blue pinwheels.

This is the very first quilt I made after I got my AccuQuilt Go cutter.  Once again I added some warm colors to the cool green Stretched Star Quilt.

Green and yellow flowery border and binding.

Another blue quilt with yellow.

This one got a touch of brown chenille next to the first border.

I love to use my scraps to make String Quilts.  This String Quilt has green sashings  and the same light green in the border.

I  ran out of the light green fabric and used a darker green for the binding.

Marjie pieced this blue table runner and I did the quilting for her.  We used my Go cutter to cut the Rob to Pay Perer Paul blocks. I hope you enjoy all the blue and green quilts.

Happy Quilting!

Blog Makeover

I have a new blog makeover and I love my cute button. All the credit goes to Madame Samm over at Sew I Quilt. She is also the lady organizing Stash Manicure. She took my blog and made all these cute designs just for me. I feel very blessed and I absolutely love my new blog makeover. She is one talented lady and you will love her blog. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank her for all the work she does behind the scenes at Stash Manicure.

I changed the quilt out in my quilting room. This one is called Cake Mix. It is made from a layer cake and a jellyroll.

I have these wrought iron wall sconces beside the quilt.  The candles are flameless and on a timer. I spent so much time in my quilting room and I love all the girly touches.

Here is my clock to remind me how late it is...and it is in black. And the candle in the wrought iron teapot is flameless too. It is not glowing , because the batteries died.  Oops!

Happy Quilting until next time!

Cat Quilt and a few more

Madame Samm mentioned it is relaxing to her to hand quilt. For me...give me my big longarm and I get rid of all my stress.

Maurice is a new quilter and this kitty quilt, is the second quilt I quilted for her.
"Bubbles" is one of my favorite pantographs and gives the quilt such a good texture and movement.

Maurice shared her love of quilting with her daughter-in-law, Dorothy. This is Dorothy's very first quilt. She picked "Meandering Daisies" for the quilting panto, another favorite panto of mine.

All the four patch blocks and the ones with triangles are three dimensional.
I use my old trick, "press 'n seal" to help me keep the pieces down so I can quilt over them.
The three dimensional block is quilted and I did not quilt in any tucks.

Light pink border.
Bright pink backing.
Another t-shirt quilt pieced by Sally. I quilted a batik quilt for her with "Bubbles" and immediately she said she want the same "Bubbles" on the t-shirt quilt.

Happy Quilting

You might get jealous

I'm going to warn you...this post might make you jealous. I won these wonderful fabrics from Madame Samm (MS) over at Sew I Quilt and Stash Manicure. I love the colors and there are so many polka dot strips. I think I have at least one polka dot fabric in every quilt I made. She also gave me this cute notepad and blue hand warmers which she made herself. Thanks Madame Samm, you are the best and so generous.

I started an Apple Core Quilt. I used my AccuQuilt Go cutter to cut the apple core blocks. The Apple Core project went back in my closet and I started a scrap quilt from my new scraps.

I imediately started to work on my fabric from MS and made a few scrappy Log Cabin blocks. In the package there was all of these perfectly cut 2" x 4" rectangles . I used 4" white squares for the middle blocks. I have not decided on how big I am going to square up the blocks. I am also not sure if I am going to keep the middle blocks white or make them scrappy. White or scrappy, what do you think?
A few weeks ago I got this Candy Table Runner pattern from Zlaty and a cute orange scissor holder from Darlene in the mail. Thanks Zlaty and Darlene. Aren't quilting bloggers the most generous people?
One of the quilts I made is on the Stash Manicure banner for November. If you are looking for stash ideas, Stash Manicure is the place to go.
Happy Quilting!
