Baby Blue Flowers and Cream Quilt

Last month my sister mailed me a huge box of material she bought 10 years ago that she wanted to make a quilt with but never had the chance. I finished the baby quilt and the final result is showcased here. So for her second quilt she wanted a lap size quilt. These pretty fabric were all ready cut up into squares and I chose do a nine patch quilt as well. Just like I done with her other one. But this was just rearranged different.



Now all it needs is to bind the edges. Just need to pick the perfect fabric to go with this cute quilt and it will be already to snuggle in for winter.

Hope you like this one sis!

Quilt Festival - Raggedy Ann & Andy Quilt

Amy over at Park City Girl is holding the annual Bloggers Quilt Festival over at her blog. So I decided to showcase my latest quilt. My latest meaning I just finished binding it today! Whoopee!

This quilt is for my sister who had mailed me a huge box of fabric 2 weeks ago that she had bought and cut up into squares and wanted to make..... wait for it....10 years ago! Yes, these cute little cut up Raggedy Ann squares were already to be sewn together but no one had the time to do it until now! I just learned how to quilt a couple of years ago and have 3 finished quilts under my belt and so I was happy to take these squares and make them into a cute little baby quilt.



Since my sister had this fabric all cut already into squares I chose to do a nine patch quilt (she said I can chose any pattern I think would look best), which a handy tutorial is on the right side of this blog.



I zig-zag stitched it together. This method reminded of "zig-zag stitching" the dolls together, which to me had a vintage feel to it.



I chose a red binding to bring the colors together from this darling fabric.




My daughter just couldn't resist snuggling up to the quilt as I was finishing up binding.



Hope you like how it came out sis!

Sailboat Quilt

I so love sailboats and when I started quilting a couple of years ago I knew I wanted to do a sailboat quilt. I decided that I wanted to create my own design and so I created one using AutoCAD.

Well its been 2 or 3 years now and I am finally on my way to being finished! I am finally done sewing all my sailboat blocks (24 of them!) and am now sewing them all together which I started last week. I know my anchor red fabric and my yellow/blue print fabric have been eagerly awaiting this moment to finally connect with the sailboats and be one beautiful piece.

I found this cool blue and white wavy strip fabric that I will use as my boarder.



My daughter seems to really like the colors!



Just 3 more rows to go!

My first pinwheel quilt.

Isn't this just the cutest room! Everything is so cute and tiny and look at that quilt. Amazing. When I saw this post from V and Co. I just fell in love with that quilt. It is so bright and cheery! I wanted to make one like it but I saw all those pinwheels and was intimidated. Luckily V and Co. has a tutorial on how to make pinwheels on her website. Thank you. So I went ahead and dove right in and started my pinwheels.

I bought cute fabric.



cut them up at 5"x5" each.



sewed them up using the pinwheel tutorial from V and Co.



And voila!



Only half way done!

My second quilt

This is a second quilt I made. It is a BQ quilt and I love it because it has such an easy pattern to follow and so easy to make. I tend to mess up when there are a lot of little squares and triangles involved. Which is why I have not finished my sailboat quilt. This one I made for my sister for Christmas of 2008. She loved this one. She said it went well with the colors in her home. Good!

My first quilt

This was my very first quilt that I have ever made. It is a quilt I made for my mother for Christmas in 2007. She loves music and plays the piano beautifully, especially classical. So I thought this would be a fitting piece especially for her. She loved it! My mother in law is an incredible quilter and offered to help me with my first quilt.

Here are some photos of the quilt.
