Another Storytime Squares Quilt


Using the leftover squares of dinosaur fabric from the disappearing nine dino quilt, we were able to make another storytime quilt.  We weren't sure which color to use for the solid, but the tan seemed to be a good choice.  It didn't look good until we added the navy binding.  I like a dark binding to finish a quilt.  What do you think?

Dino Disappearing Nine


I just love this pattern for baby quilts.  I've probably said that before!!!  We have several of this pattern in the works for our baby dedication quilts.  Blue, brown and green go so well together.


Pieced backing that is so typical of me.  Can't stop myself!  And one of my cuties snuck into the picture too!

Daisy Storytime Squares


Cute quilt using the Storytime Squares pattern (minus the outside border).  I also used smaller squares because I didn't have enough fabric to go bigger.  More of this pattern to come!  It's so fast and easy!

It's quilted with an all over daisy pattern that has pretty closed quilting.  The feel of this quilt is much different than one with the size of meandering I have been doing.  I have been doing some testing of different quilting methods on some baby quilts recently to see which way is best (and not too time consuming)!  You can come to Quilt Ministry tonight to help us decide!

Horse Quilt

I had several triangle pieces left over from this quilt and I wanted to use them for something.  So we cut them into 2.5 inch squares and I designed this quilt just for those scraps!  Every lady in quilt ministry sewed at lease 2 nine patches of the border.  Such a great group effort.


The center needed a special touch, so we used the cricut to cut out a horse.  It was appliqued to a brown block and framed with the checker board pieces.  The brown fabric does have some texture to it, it's called mirage.  But from a distance it looks solid so I quilted the straight lines on it to make it look like wooden slats.  The criss cross on the checkerboard adds a nice touch to the outside frame.


Teddy's Disappearing Nine Quilt


I just love this pattern because it goes together so quickly.  We did this one with only 3 supporting colors.  I do like to use more colors usually, but this one is cute!
