Green and Turquoise Squares

54" x 72"

I've been working through my stash of Kona cotton solids this year, and this quilt was a great way to use several shades of teal, aqua, and turquoise. The simple geometric design creates a lot of movement while still being made from straightforward piecing.

I found this print for the back at Hobby Lobby. I sure do miss Joanne's being gone. I'm going to have to find another place to buy fabric. Any suggestions?

 You can find this quilt in my Etsy shop.

Large Rainbow HST Throw

64" x 80"

Isn't she pretty! I've been trying to use more of my stash of Kona solids this year, and this quilt helped make a dent in it. There are enough half-square triangles in this pattern to make at least two quilts, so it definitely kept me busy for a while.

For the backing, I used a teal batik from my stash that I've been saving for just the right project. The colors worked perfectly with the rainbow pinwheels on the front, and the batik adds a nice bit of texture and interest to the back.

The quilting is a simple meander design. With so many colors and fabrics in the quilt top, I wanted the quilting to add texture without competing with the piecing. The meander was the perfect choice to let all those colorful pieces remain the star of the show.

 If you'd like to make this quilt your own, you can find it available in my Etsy shop.

Grid Pop Throw

  58 x 70 

There’s something so satisfying about rediscovering forgotten fabric. This quilt started with an old Moda jelly roll I found tucked away in the back of my closet, one of those bundles you buy because you absolutely love it, then somehow save for “the perfect project” for years. The soft florals, faded corals, buttery yellows, and delicate pinks still felt just as charming as the day I bought them, so I finally decided it was time to turn those strips into something beautiful instead of letting them collect dust.

While I was pulling fabrics together, I came across two different sage green prints hidden in my stash. Together they added the perfect balance to all the warm pinks and reds and gave the quilt that soft cottage garden feel. It always amazes me how a couple unexpected fabrics can completely pull a quilt together.
 

One of my favorite things about using a jelly roll is how effortlessly everything coordinates. Moda collections are wonderful for that — all the prints already speak the same language, so even the scrappiest layouts still feel cohesive. This quilt became the perfect mix of planned and spontaneous sewing, which is honestly my favorite kind of project.

This quilt feels sweet, cheerful, and timeless — and now I’m wondering what other forgotten treasures are hiding in my stash waiting to become something special.

Windows in Sunday Supper

60 x 70

I really enjoyed watching the blocks build on each other as the quilt came together. The layered frames create so much movement and depth, almost like little windows scattered across the quilt top. (Guess that's why it's called Windows by Cluck Cluck Sew. Even though the layout is structured, the scrappy fabric placement keeps it playful and relaxed. I especially love how the darker navy prints ground the softer aquas and creams and give your eye places to rest.

For the backing, I chose a blue crosshatch print that complements the front perfectly without competing with it. It adds just enough texture and color to make the back feel special too. And the binding ended up being one of those happy stash surprises quilters dream about — the perfect print that was not too dark and not too light. It frames the quilt so softly and ties all the colors together in such a balanced way.

 The fabric line is called Sunday Supper. I've had it for years, so don't get your hopes up in finding it!

This quilt feels peaceful to me. The colors are calming, the piecing is satisfying, and every fabric seems to belong exactly where it landed. Projects like this always remind me why I love quilting so much, sometimes all it takes is the right fabric pull, a little stash diving, and a stack of blocks slowly becoming something beautiful.

Off the Rails

60 x 66

This quilt is called Off the Rails by Bonjour Quilts. I found this free pattern which was perfect for using up my leftover gray strips and a couple yards of Kona Cedar I had in the pile of solids. 

I quilted it the same way she did with the wavy lines. She described it as a drunk one legged man coming home at 3 am. I've not done this kind of wave before, so was trying to picture that in my mind as I traveled across the quilt. 

I used the Kona cedar on the back, but it was too short for full coverage. Added this gray print to finish the quilt. 

 The texture give this quilt a great feel. I was worried it would be too much quilting, but it really isn't. Can't wait get this washed and see how it feels then.
