I started this quilt back in April when I was in between other projects. It is a stash buster, but I don't think I really depleted much of my stash... :) Well, I had a few baby quilts I wanted to get done so I sent this one off to by quilted by someone else. And then I got...

Wonky Log Cabin

Using a very popular tutorial: Tallgrass Prairie Studio: Wonky Log Cabin, I set out to learn how to be more free-form in creating quilt blocks. I actually started this process in early August, and the lesson served me very well in creating the Woodland Creatures Quilt! Since I was using this as a learning piece, other things got in the...

Woodland Creatures Baby Quilt

This quilt was based around a super cute woodland animal print fabric purchased fromSpoonflower. All other fabrics were purchased to coordinate with the animal print, and this was a super fun quilt to piece together. The backing is a flannel fabric - this baby is due in November, so hopefully this quilt will get lots of snuggly use!

Baby Bozarth Quilt – Seeing Squares and Flying Things

April 7, 2018
Posted by Yvonne @Quilting Jetgirl

I really like the patterns published by Empty Bobbin Sewing Studio. I used the "Seeing Squares" pattern for the Baby Bozarth Quilt. One of the best things about the Empty Bobbin patterns is that they come in multiple sizes - and the smaller version of Seeing Squares works really well as a baby quilt. I work with the father, so when...

City Play – Quilt for Baby Sharp

City Play is a quilt that I found in my City Quilts book by Cherri House. The basis for this very fun quilt is a simple nine patch quilt block. What makes the quilt so stunning is the way she uses the borders around the nine patch blocks to give the quilt depth and interest. Also, since it uses so...

First, a huge thank you to the empty bobbin - I absolutely fell in love with her pattern "ZigZagged" and was able to buy a kit with the pattern and fabrics for the quilt shown on the cover of her pattern booklet! Score! The cover of the pattern booklet is to the left. I have done triangles and points in quilts before,...

There were 2 cute blocks left over from the Bali Love Song quilt project that my mother and I worked on together. I was going to turn them into a hot pad, but I also had lots of backing material left over, so I made 2. They work perfectly!

My lovely mother came out and spent just over a week with me in early December. We managed to get a "baby" quilt done during the course of the visit. It is a bit bigger than a real baby quilt (56" x 56"), so I feel like it was a great accomplishment. This quilt is for the 3rd grandchild...

Purple and Yellow

When I stumbled across a fabric that had a blend of purple and yellow in it, I knew I had to make a quilt for Michael's aunt, Lynne. Her favorite color is purple, and the fabric just seemed to imply what should follow. I initially set out to make smaller blocks for this lap quilt, but the finished size...

I get pretty excited when someone sends me a photo of a quilt I've made for them in use. It really makes me happy! Elizabeth sent this photo of the entire family getting some cozy quilt time. :) Eva Miller likes looking at the bright patterns of the quilt for "tummy time". And Fawkes approves of the Blue Rover quilt.

Michael and I have used the yellow/blue gradient quilt on our bed for just over 7 years. It has been well loved, as you can see in the horribly ratty binding: It took a half day to cut up the binding and get it stitched on, and 2 days of whip stitching, but it's looking good again. I'm not sure...

I wanted to make a quilt for my brother. When I saw the "Red Rover" pattern in "Cozy Modern Quilts", I thought it would be perfect, but I was happy to honor his request to substitute blue for the red in the quilt. :) It took a bit of time to get the top pieced together - there were a...
