This is a project that was finished last year – like six months ago – that I never posted! It was made for the LAMQG Mini Quilt Swap. It was a random swap so everyone that brought a mini quilt pulled a wrapped package from the table. My little quilt was pulled by Kelli and guess who’s quilt I pulled? …
Harold the Bear and the B-Boy Quilt
As some of you know, I’m a little obsessed with giving gift “sets” for baby gifts. Generally the set will be a quilt and bibs, burps and a ball. But, this time it is a bear. And I actually saw the pattern for the bear first and then whipped up this quick quilt to go with the bear. I am …
Herringbone Linen – Modern Whole Cloth Quilt
I love looking at quilting in new and fresh ways. Oftentimes “new and fresh” refers to looking at traditional and established methods and making them your own. I’ve been thinking a lot about designing whole cloth quilts. I’m a little hesitant in calling this a “whole cloth quilt” because most whole cloth quilts are such intricate works of art. I’ve …
Blue Maize Quilt
At long last, 270 5.5″ HST later – here is the quilt top for my sweetie. I’m not quite sure how I’m going to photograph the whole top – but, I’ll wait until I’m finished the quilting to figure that out. The quilt is massive though – he asked for a king sized but, I could only find batting for …
Bricolage & Butter Bee Blocks – the Finale
I am officially, THE WORST BEE MEMBER EVER. Not proud of it, but, it’s officially a fact. So, I spent my vacation in December catching up! I figured I should at least start the new year off being all caught up. I don’t know why I’m so bad, but, I think that my Bee blocks get in the way of …
Measured Improv: Love Potion #9 (Wonky Hexagon Quilt)
Hexagons are perfect in so many ways. One of the reasons they are so perfect for quilts is because they are the only other regular polygon, besides for squares and regular triangles, that will tessellate. I hope I didn’t lose everyone in that last statement. In plain English this means that you can piece together regular hexagons over and over …
WIP’s: A Pixel Quilt
Does having the fabric cut out count as a WIP (Work In Progress)? 🙂 I hope so because I don’t even have the quilt laid out yet. But, I’ve been dreaming about a pixel quilt for a long time. Here are my fabrics – 20 Kona Cottons. I can’t wait! Have a good week everyone!
Jack-In-The-Box Modern Baby Quilt
This must be the year of the baby! This is the fourth baby born in my office this year and we only have about 20 people! And, we still have one to go! Not to even start counting my friends. . . . But, I’m not complaining. More babies mean more fun baby gifts to make and give. I was …
Quilt Inspiration: Las Vegas Trip
I’m constantly taking metal snapshots of everything around me and auditioning them out for quilt patterns. My family thinks I’m a little cuckoo because I tell them I see quilts everywhere I go. My parents, when they were visiting a few months ago, especially got a kick out of it and started to do it for me. We’d see a …
“Huckleberry” Modern Baby Quilt
Does anyone else have this problem? You make a quilt as a gift for a friend or family member and then fall in love with it SO much that it is almost painful to give away? Well, this was my experience with the Huckleberry Modern Baby Quilt. Luckily I was strong and was able to give it to it’s intended …
