Cotton Lawn Leftovers

40 x 53

I had some squares leftover from this quilt and I didn't want to put them in my scrap stash.  So here they are in this small lap quilt.  I had enough left from the backing to add a small green border too. It was easier to sew the cotton lawn to the regular cotton.  It didn't slip as much.

Found this butterfly fabric in my stash and it was a close match!

Not a great big finish, but it's done!

Cotton Lawn Plus Quilt

Just a simple plus quilt finish made from a stack of cotton lawn I purchased a while back.  Cotton lawn is thinner than regular cotton and has a silky soft finish.  It kinda reminds me of an old bedsheet because of how soft it is. It was a little more challenging to sew, but it is quite doable.

Cowboy Quilt Made by a Cowboy

This is David's second quilt!  He is my 9 yo son.  You can find his first quilt here.  He enjoyed making the first quilt so much ( a wall hanging), that he wanted to make a lap quilt.  But when he got that size all sewed up, we had enough fabric left over to make it big enough for his bed.

I think this pattern is easy enough for a small child to make by himself.  David was really working on getting his seams to be 1/4 inch.  I had to trim a few spots, but it went together okay.

For those of you who don't know my son, he is a very adventurous, outdoor kinda kid.  He loves all things farming, ranching, and outdoor.  He is the one who volunteers to mow the grass lately, even when it's super hot outside!

I gave it a quick meander and sewed the binding on for him.  But I am so proud that he did such a great job on his quilt!  He's even going to help me make one for his little brother. (They share a room so his will have horses on it.)

Modified Belle Weave

55 x 68

I came up with this design because of the size of the fabric I had to use.  It is a combination of a couple different patterns that I really liked.  I wanted to use up as much of this hawaiian print as I could and there are different amounts of each square.  So strange to find this pile of fabrics, but I knew I could do something with it!

The rectangles are 3.5 x 6.5.  

 I didn't have as much black so I used that for one row in the middle.

Quilting is a panto called All That Jazz.

The back has the rest of the scraps in my usual style!  

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a great weekend!

Garden Fence Blocks

Myra, from Busy Hands Quilts, is guest hosting for Building Blocks Tuesday.  And while I don't usually post unfinished quilts, I thought I would break the rule today! Sometimes it is good to break a rule, don't ya think?

These blocks are super easy and super cute!  You can find the pattern here.

I haven't decided whether to add the sashing or not.  But I am loving the blue, green, and gray colorway.  Have you made one of these yet?  Did you make it with or without the sashing?
