Scrap Snap Quilt

60 x 72

The Scrap Snap quilt pattern is one of my favorite scrappy quilt patterns. I think this is my fourth one so far. I love all the different fabrics that get put into it and you get to lay it out however you want and it still looks great. When I put the binding on, it was fun to go from color to color around the quilt. 
 

This white/gray print needed a bit of color so I threw together a few more scraps for a strip down the back. Looks much more impressive in person. That white fabric is hard to capture. 

I will have to make myself one of these someday. But today this one is for sale. Find it here in my shop.

Sparkly Rainbow HST Quilt



How about a little sparkle in your quilt? This is a design I came up with to use up all of those solids I have in my stash. Well not all of them, there are still several that didn't make it into this quilt. But I did manage to incorporate 65 different colors. Whew that was a lot! Do you have that many Kona Cottons in your stash or am I the only one?


I tried to remove some of them to get it down to 50, but taking some of them out changed the look of the quilt a bit. I suppose it could be done in the grand scheme of things, but I love all the colors in there so I didn't take any out. 
 

A nice neutral gray and a black bind finished off this quilt. 


I'd love to know if you keep that many solids on hand. Is this too many fabrics for a quilt pattern?

Triple Dot in Red White and Blue



I just finished this customer requested quilt. He chose my Triple Dot pattern. He also chose the fabric line American Gatherings. The pattern calls for a half yard of three colors or 3 of each color. But I wanted a more scrappy look so I used 3 charm packs and pulled out the white-on-white prints as well as a few that my customer didn't want in the quilt.  Turned out lovely, but as always it's hard to get a good photo in the morning sun.

OSU Quilt


This was a customer request in OSU colors (Oklahoma). She chose a simple two-color quilt instead of adding gray for the little black squares. She also wanted the back to have a little something, so I split each color in half and added a white strip between everything. This worked out great because this is a big quilt, and I needed that extra couple of inches. 


 If you want to make your own, the pattern is called Rah Rah Rally.

Teal and Chartreuse Quilt

50" x 60"

My daughter and I whipped up this easy quilt together. When I asked her what fabrics we should use, she picked her current fav - teal and chartreuse. 


Fun little back design based on necessity. 


I had a customer request a pantograph on an upcoming quilt so I thought this was the perfect quilt to practice on. I haven't done a panto in years. Fortunately, it all came back to me! Now I feel I am ready to take on that custom quilt.
