On the Square Irish Chain

64 x 64 

This is #3 from my pile of Hard to Use Fabrics.  I had to do some searching to find 2 fabrics that went with this floral fabric.  I found the dark one first that one was pretty easy.  I found the second one at our local quilt shop when it was having it's close out sale.  It doesn't look like it from these pictures, but the floral fabric does have this mauve color in it.

I used the picture from this post to figure out the 3 different blocks.  I didn't take a picture for you though.  I get to sewing and forget about blogging stuff a lot!  But the blocks are 10", 8" and 8x10".

I quilted this with the clear monopoly thread because I didn't want a dark thread on the floral print or a light thread on the maroon fabric.  I didn't have a mauve thread either.  What would you quilt this with? Got the rest of the floral on the back which was my goal!  Use it all up!

Polka Dot Baby Quilt

40 x 50

This cute top was pieced by my son!  While he likes to sew, it usually takes him a long time to make a top.  I remind him once in a while to sew a row or two or do some ironing. His sewing skills are improving a lot. Most of his points match!

I gave it a larger meander than normal.  Muscle memory made this a little more challenging! I kept wanting to make it smaller.

Small polka dot on the back with a solid red binding was all I could find in my stash for this quilt.  But I think it goes nicely and David is pleased.

February's One Monthly Goal

I plan on turning this pile of Kona Cotton into this quilt just as soon as I get rid of this cold!  It's gonna be beautiful!

January Stash Report

  

I made 5 quilts this month!  2 of my quilts were from the pile of 20 Hard To Use Fabrics (HTU). So I am off to a great start with my yearly goal.  While it seems I am not using my stash, most of the fabric I purchased came from a large stack of Kona Cotton I bought with a 20% off coupon at the beginning of the year.  And I have plans to use is it in the coming months!

Love Multiplied

This is a new pattern called Love Multiplied from Myra at Busy Hands Quilts.  I love this quilt!  You can find the pattern here.  I made mine with fabrics from the Connecting Threads line Good Neighbors. Plus I added in a few pieces from my stash.

I gave it a quick meander and added blue binding.  I was a little short on green for the back so I added in some gray and the left over squares.

This quilt is for sale in my shop.
