I know you will be shocked to see that I have posted twice in one week. I told you I would show you what I have been up too since my last post about a month or so ago.
So....while I was out.
I made this Garlic Knot baby quilt. I wanted to try this pattern and what better way than with a baby quilt?
I used a Riley Blake jelly roll, had it so long that I lost the tag so I can't tell you what line, sorry.
The baby quilt was so fun that I made a larger one. Just need to quilt it. These pictures do not do some of these quilts justice. The pink is more pink....the colors are more vibrant. I just need somewhere to take pictures (was that a whine)?
My sister Jeanette and I are at it again. I loved this Anne of Green Gables Fabric by Riley Blake....so my sister and I purchased it. We saw a quilt we loved and found the Spring Star Block in the "Farm Girl Vintage" book by lori Holt and well...the rest is in the makings.
Here is all fourty-two blocks. I decided to get a few things done before I finish this quilt top.
Here is my school house quilt flimsy. I have to be honest. I did not like this. Every once in a while I do a blooper of a quilt and this was it. This is actually the twin to the Ginger Jar quilt in about two post below this one. I made these houses first and didn't like them so I made the Ginger Jar quilt. I wish you could see the border better....love the fabric and once I got it all together I am thinking, it is not so bad. I just might like it. Once again....need a better place to take pictures.
Here is my BOO!!! Quilt by Margot Languedoc. My grandson loves this quilt. I have it on a rack in my formal livingroom.
Made this cute baby quilt using my Accuquilt Go Alphabet die and the train die.
As I stated before, this quilt was the accuquilt fan die and I used scraps. I actually did not meander this quilt. It spoke to me and said....Oh no...you are not going to just meander me, so I did cobble stones around the fan and various other designs. I did meander a little but not much.
Now this little quilt I am going to make into a wheelchair quilt.....the workings are in my head....I saw various pictures and well.....we are going to wing it. Wish me luck.
I love the Garlic Knot pattern—sure fun to play with color. I think all your quilts/tops look terrific.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful blocks and quilts. I like your plans for wheelchair quilts. So nice you and Jeannette get to sew together, even virtually.
ReplyDeleteWow! You have not only blogged twice but been a very busy girl! I think the fan quilt is my favorite! I love it! The house quilt is also quite interesting to me because I have some red ones that I need to sew together and make into a kid friendly quilt. I am glad you are posting again. You always have such great ideas and make such pretty quilts! K- lkw2x6-apq@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThey are all so lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have been busy. I have been a little bit busy too.
ReplyDeleteI think the Spring Star blocks will make a very pretty quilt.
I like the schoolhouse quilt. It is in colors that generally appeal to men. (Blues and tans -think blue oxford shirt and khaki pants.)
I will have to go back and see the Ginger Jar quilt.
Good luck on the wheelchair quilt.
I loved looking at all the quilts you have been silently working on!!
ReplyDeleteWow so many different pretty quilts to share......
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy! I love your school houses, and those ghosts are too cute! :0)
ReplyDeleteI love the school house quilt, and the wheel chair one. What size do you make for a wheel chair quilt?
ReplyDeleteYou have got a lot of sewing in there. The boo quilt is very cute. Your schoolhouse quilt where did you get the pattern? Did you use an Accuquilt die? I want to make one. I need to make a garlic knot quilt too someday.
