Mary’s Rebel Roses quilt – check!

Mary’s Rebel Roses quilt – check!

Another check for my Quilting Bucket List!  I’m late giving Mary her birthday present but better late than never, right?!  My quilt guild had a show this year so I delayed giving it to Mary so it could be on display.  Here’s the proof!

And yes, that’s Drew and Abby’s wedding quilt on the right, they had to wait for their quilt, too!  Mary’s quilt is my original design using a design wall to place the blocks.  Very simple, really shows off the fabrics.  Here’s a couple detail pictures of the quilting.

The Quilter’s Dream Orient batting drapes well and has that wonderful antique look after washing.  It’s really evident from the back.

Now, on to the next one!  Thanks for visiting!

 

 

 

Two Tummy Time quilts waiting for babies!

Two Tummy Time quilts waiting for babies!

Two of my niece’s are pregnant and I’ve got 2 “Tummy Time” quilts ready to deliver when they do!  I used the “Rectangle String’s” pattern on Mary Quilts and lots of bright scraps.  They both have flannel backing and Quilter’s Dream Puff batting.   The yellow quilt is freehand baptist fans and the purple is another freehand called looped spirals.  The binding is machine stitched like Zeke’s baby quilt.  I’m in the process of making another one with royal blue centers just in case the second one is a boy!  Don’t you love having lots of relatives giving you reasons to make quilts and give them away?!

Two more Stacked Squares!

When my nephew got married this summer, what was his present?  A “Stacked Squares” quilt!  Here’s how I “wrap” my quilts for gift giving.  You might notice one square has their name and wedding date stitched on it, too!  The second Stacked Squares went to college with my daughter and I forgot to get a picture, thus here’s a pic of me and my daughter posing in her dorm room!   For Brett’s wedding quilt and Rachel’s dorm quilt, the border is a wavy crosshatch, otherwise, the details are the same as my previous post.

Sherri’s Sun and Sky 2

This quilt might look familiar!  Check out a post from April 2011!  Did I mention that we had enough fabric to make four of these quilts?  I sent one to Christal in April and this one went to my dear friend Sherri who got married this summer and just celebrated her birthday in August!  In fact, her comment , “This would look good in my house”, about my bedroom quilt inspired me to make these blue and yellow quilts.  As luck (haha) would have it, I just happened to have yards and yards of the blue and yellow flower print in the border and backing.  I was going to make a dust ruffle, or pillow shams to match mine, (another haha)!  Sherri’s quilt has a different narrow border and backing but otherwise, it’s pretty much the same.  I still love this quilt!  I think Candy might still have her fabric, maybe I’ll swipe it!  Enjoy the pictures, I look forward to hearing from my friend when she gets her package!
