Blue and Teal Squared Quilt

Not so good with naming quilts am I?!  Love the colors in this one, very cool and crisp.

Quilted the blue blocks with a template and the laser on my gammill.  I put butterflies in the teal blocks because I couldn't get this pattern to line up in the squares.

Josie's Quilt

Not the best shot of my oldest girls, but the quilt was too big for one person!  It's a twin size for my little 2 year old princess who loves pink and purple!  She even got to participate by pulling pins for me as I sewed the blocks together.  She was very possessive of her quilt!

This quilt took such a long time because I seam allowance was off and I had to redo most of the pink and white blocks.  Agh!  I seemed to set it aside way too much and work on other things.

But the batting was coming in so I wanted to get it ready.  This was my second attempt at free motion loops and flowers.  I used smaller flowers this time.  (Some of them look like butterflies.)  Need more practice! And I quilted in purple to see how much it would stand out.  It does, but the front has quilt a bit of purple on it.  This is a shot of the back strip.  

More quilts are done but they need binding before I can post them.  But that will have to wait until we finish painting the sewing room which we just started on!  And there's school on Monday, and dentist apppointments, and.... well you know.

Black and Yellow Scrap Quilt

This is a beautiful and easy 9 patch pattern that was scrap friendly!  I just grabbed all the yellow, black and gray fabrics I could find in my scrap bins and put them all together.   I like it so much, I am planning one in blue and green. (It's in that great big pile of quilt to made that can be found in my  head!) 

I even tried a new free motion quilting pattern - loops with flowers.  I have never tried loops before.  It just seems so much harder than the meandering.  I think adding the flowers every so often made it a little easier not to get stuck somewhere.  And the flowers go nicely with the fabrics.  

 The pictures aren't really showing the yellow thread - also a new try for me.  The quilting stands out a little more than if I had used white.  Perfect for this quilt.

Pixelated Horse Quilt Project

This is one of the things I have been working on.  It was very challenging to get the pixelated picture down to just a few colors.  I still need to work on his ears.  I am hoping some half square triangles will make them look better.  I got the idea from pinterest and was using this site, but it wasn't giving me a picture I liked so I used photoshop to pixelate and then started replacing colors.  I decided to make the tan/cream background out of 5 different colors to keep the quilt looking pixelated. And I'm going to cut all the squares instead of trying to make bigger pieces because I think it will look better.  

Hawaiian Quilt

Nope, I haven't forgotten to post...we just don't have anything to post!  Except this lovely quilt made by Sherry.  It's her first quilt, what a great job! 

 I quilted around the large squares, but circles in the small squares and then outline the whirly thing that was left.  The back really shows the quilting.

I haven't been able to finish the rest of the quilt tops because we are out of large batting.  Hope to get some in January.  Also, Quilt ministry has been put on hold until at least January.  I needed some time off to work on some of my own projects.  I was able to finish a few small quilts with the small batting I have.  Hope to post a couple more of those soon.
