Rail Fence and Strip Twist Quilt

 I finished the binding on my Rail Fence Quilt. I only wished I made the quilt big enough for my bed.

 I started a new scrappy quilt using my 2.5" strips. I used Bonnie's Strip Twist tutorial over here.

 More strips need to be pressed.

 Here is another project I started. I used my Go Cutter circle die and cut 5" circles. I made one mistake and did not press the steam a seam on before I cut the circles. Double the work for me, because now I have to use a scissors again.

Happy Quilting,

Wonky Butterfly and Rail Fence Quilts

 I have been working on two of my UFO's. The first quilt is a wonky butterfly and a four patch quilt for my youngest daughter. I made a border from the leftover scraps.

 I used one of my old cotton sheets as a foundation for the border.

 I really like how the quilting turned out.  I used a panto called "Bramble" from Kerryn Emmerson.

 I had this yellow and purple fabric in my stash and it is perfect for the backing on this quilt.

 I just finished the quilting and binding on my wonky Rail Fence quilt.

 I used a panto called "Hurricane" for the quilting. It gives such a nice movement on the plain background fabric.

 I had a huge piece of purple fabric and used it for the backing. I love to use what I have in my stash for backings.

My scrap boxes need some work, overflowing with leftover backing fabric and batting. I cut off all the leftover batting from the backing and organized in two different bins.

I am so ready for another string quilt.

Happy Quilting,

Randomness

 I saw this very cute Moda Bakeshop tutorial here. I think the pattern is perfect for my very first Riley Blake jelly roll. I used white fabric with yellow dots for the background. I just finished quilting the top and I am so pleased at how pretty and easy this quilt came together.

  I wanted to accentuate the teal fabric and added a second border with these cute teal and white squares.

 A few years ago I bought a pack of 12 Raggedy Ann embroidered blocks at a quilt show. I did not want to make a traditional red and white quilt. I found this yellow fabric with red cherries in my stash -  perfect to go with the red Raggedy Ann's.

 Again to accentuate the yellow fabric, I added yellow yo-yo's. The yo-yo's also hid some of my "not so good lined up" red sashing strips.

 This is a picture I took outside, I love how the quilt wrinkled after the first wash.
 I used Hobbs 100% cotton batting.

 I am working on two new projects. A jelly roll quilt and a 1930's quilt.  Darlene's  pattern called "Just Between Friends" is perfect for my 1930's stash which I cut up in 2,5" strips.

 I hope you all are enjoying the first month of the new year.

Happy Quilting,

Two Charm Square Quilts

 My Charm Square Quilt is all done and washed. I used three "Terrain" charm packs,  "Snow" Kona Cotton for the sashings and 100% Hobbs batting.

Amy Smart has a great charm square tutorial called "Baby Lattice Quilt" on the Moda Bake Shop over here.

I enjoy this quilt so much and it is hanging in my quilting room. I have a curtain rod on the wall for displaying quilts. I got the rod at Target for under $25, not bad at all.

 Here is my"Summer Breeze" charm pack quilt. I had so many sashing strips leftover from the previous charm square quilt. I used three charm packs in a straight setting.

Below is how the quilt looked before it went in the washing machine.

I used 80/20 Bleached (white) batting.

This is how it crinkled up after I took it out of the dryer.  I  love washed, crinkled quilts.

I went with a light blue solid Kona Cotton (Blue Bell)  for the border and binding.

 The quilting panto is called "Bluebell", so perfect for this quilt.

I was so lucky, I found this navy fabric with light blue and white flowers in my stash for the backing.

After laying the quilt on my bed, I decided I would like to make another charm quilt big enough for my bed.  When that someday will be, I am not sure.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and happy quilting,
