This is a baby quilt for a new family member, and her baby room is going to be decorated with a mermaid theme in aqua, coral, and white. My mom chose to purchase and use my Tessellated Leaves pattern to piece the top, and we picked...

Cocoa Leaf Medallion Flimsy Finish

I am super thrilled to say that I buckled down and spent 7 hours this week finishing up the Cocoa Leaf Medallion quilt top and backing. Hooray! As it is intended for a queen size bed, I carefully placed the finished top on my own bed to get a feel for how it will drape. I did not get the...

Diamonds in the Deep {Friday Finish}

I am really excited to say that this baby quilt version of the Diamonds in the Deep pattern is currently on its way to my "sister" in anticipation of the arrival of my nephew in June. I used Kona solids for the front: Royal Blue, White, and Lime. I really like how the splash of lime in the center of the...

Out of the Woods {Friday Finish}

Out of the Woods was my final quilt in my "to be quilting upon return from QuiltCon" queue. I completed it a week ago and this time I took my husband with me into some green rolling hills for a photo shoot. He was a wonderful and patient quilt holder. This large graphic quilt was really asking for a lot of...

Racetrack Quilt Completed!

The Racetrack Quilt is finished! It feels like so much has happened since I posted about the flimsy finish last week. Warning: photo heavy post! On Sunday afternoon, I finally got around to looking through my stash to see if anything I had on hand would coordinate well enough with the Racetrack Quilt Flimsy to work as the backing and binding....

Racetrack Quilt {Flimsy Finish}

My goal for today was to finish piecing the Racetrack Quilt top, and I am happy to say that I had it done before 8pm. That certainly counts as a Friday Finish, right? As I was working on laying out the blocks earlier this week, I ended up making some changes in the fabric combinations for each block as...

Scrap Quilt Flimsy {TGIFF}

I had a delightful mix of 3" squares and 2.5" HSTs left over from piecing Tessellated Leaves. The colors and fabrics from that project are so vibrant and fun that I decided to pull those scraps out of my bin on Christmas day and see what "stuck" on my design wall. A quick 5 hours later, and I have...

TGIFF: Fall Placemats

I am really happy to be able to say that I have a finish this week! I was able to complete a set of 6 Fall Placemats. I am thrilled with how they came together, and don't they look wonderful on a table? Sticking with the fall theme, I quilted a meandering leaf pattern across the placemats using a variegated orange...
