Just the Basics Quilt-A-Long Finished!

 48 x 60

Leanne over at Devoted Quilter hosted a quilt a long over the last 6 months.  We've gotten to the end and now we have a beautiful finished quilt!  You can still get the directions if you'd like to participate.

I made mine a tad smaller than her lap quilt because I wasn't sure I had enough fabric to make the lap quilt.  But it's a good size and her pattern works for making a rectangle or a square quilt.

I got to use this cool fabric that has the names of Jesus on it.  I can't wait to use it again.  It's perfect for ministry quilts. Not sure if I'm just as crazy about the pieced back I made.  But it was a fast fix and I needed to get this one finished.

Thanks Leanne for hosting this great quilt-a-long!

    

I Spy Quilt and July Stash Report

My son made his third quilt from these I-Spy fabrics and I just thought it would be nice to have a picture for you on my stash report post.

I've been busy making 4 Minecraft quilts this month plus 7 pillows. I also tested and made the Brick Cottage Lane 2 pattern and made 2 baby quilts.  It's been a busy month! At least it is showing in the stash report a little. I know it's bound to slow down soon!

Just the Basics Quilt-A-Long

I finished July's portion of the Just the Basics Quilt a Long!  

Look at all the pieces - we're getting close to the finish line. There is still time for you to join.!

Minecraft Quilt, New Blocks, and a Pillow

I just finished a queen sized minecraft quilt!  I really like the wider outside border that I had to add to make this quilt big enough.  My customer asked for a custom "skin" that her son created. Turned out great and added some blue to the quilt. If you want to make one for yourself you can find the pattern here.  You can email me for the pdf pattern. $10.99

I've also been busy making custom ordered pillows for a couple customers.  That was so fun and fast!  Then I decided that I needed a few more blocks to add to the mix.  So they are:

 Magma Cube

 Ocelot

Squid

I had tried the magma cube and the ocelot before, but I wasn't happy with how they were looking.  So yesterday the boys and I sat down in front of the XBox and tried again.  I am loving the ocelot with the added spots and the blue in the squid.  I now have 24 blocks to choose from.  Would you believe there are over 60 different colors in these blocks?  If you aren't feeling like making one yourself, you can purchase a custom made quilt in my shop.

Brick Cottage Lane {2}

Here is Myra's new Brick Cottage Lane {2} pattern!  I made a twin sized quilt with a fat quarter bundle of Miss Kate fabric from Moda.  I added in a few fabrics from my stash so there would be more fabric variation.  I think I had 19 fabrics. It's a happy set of fabrics!

I used a blue polka dot for the back and the rest of the apple print for the back.  I love the red binding which is something I don't usually use.  I like to piece my backs because it uses my stash.  Still trying to get that number down!

Myra's patterns are always easy to understand and fun to make. You can make this quilt quickly with the strip piecing directions or you can use the traditional method.  Both are included in 5 different sizes. You can find Myra's pattern here.  And this quilt is for sale in my etsy shop.
