A Christmas Quilt for Chris

A Christmas Quilt for Chris

Chris and me! Chris's Stacked Squares QuiltOne of my favorite things is giving quilts!  My goal in life is to make a quilt for everyone in my family.  I have a big family and it keeps growing with marriages and babies!  I couldn’t be happier, more quilts to make and give away!  Even though Chris is not “technically” a family member, he is definitely family and has won our hearts, including our daughter’s.  This is one of my all time favorite quilts to make and give away.  It’s a cozy quilt that’s easy care, machine wash and dry.  Yes, I have another Stacked Squares quilt started!  I’ll keep making them until the fabric runs out!

Thanks for looking!  If you’re traveling today – be safe!  🙂 Linda

BlockBase Sew Along – Block 6

Block 6

 

Here’s my Block 6 for the BlockBase Sew Along.  A big thanks to Candace, my quilting buddy, for the paper piecing templates!  Like blocks 1, 2 and 3, this block finishes 8 inches.  I followed the color way featured in BlockBase, combining vintage and new fabrics.

Check out how others Completed Block 6 here.

 

 

 

 

 

6 blocks

 

Six blocks done!  Six to go!  I love the look of them and it will be fun to incorporate them into a quilt.

 

 

I can’t believe we’re almost to the end of 2012!  Stay tuned for customer quilts and Christmas gifts posts!

Thanks for looking!!  🙂 Linda

BlockBase Sew Along – Block 5

BlockBase Sew Along – Block 5

 

Here’s my 5th block for the BlockBase Sew Along.  Like Block 4, it finishes at 9 inches.  The units are 3 1/2″ squares with 2″ squares in the corners (sew and flip method).  The fabrics are from the vintage stash recovered from my sister’s house!  I love it!  This would be a great block to design a quilt around.

Here’s the link to check out how others completed their block.

 

 

 

 

 

My boss at Rainbows and Calico Things quilt shop, hosted the most fabulous Christmas party!  She drove us around Iowa for our own shop hop!  And yes, I did increase my stash a little.  I was most excited about the stores that had scrap bags for sale!   I love getting those bags of remnants, I might need some medication for that sickness!

Thanks for looking.  I’m behind on posting customer quilts and when I get a break from Christmas quilts, I’ll catch up!

🙂 Linda
