Jewel Tones Scrappy Quilt #1

This is the first jewel tone quilt made from the scraps in the photo below. I actually cut the scraps into 3 quilt kits. It's amazing how far scraps will go. This quilt is going to a friend of mine who loves red. The deep rich colors in this quilt are perfect for her! (and they go nicely in my living room, I was tempted to keep it!)

Here's the pile of scraps I pulled out a while ago. I used all three sizes of my scraps - 2.5" squares, 5" squares, and 2.5" strips. This is enough for 3 quilts and then some. I still have quite a bit left over in a bin. When I finish the next 2 quilts, I will see if there is enough for another quilt. Such a rich, deep beautiful rainbow of fabrics!

 

Sunshine Quilt Pattern

60 x 72

Here's a new pattern called Sunshine that I recently finished. This one is the throw size and I love how the stars in this version look like the sun. You can find the pattern here. It comes in 5 sizes from baby to king. There's a sample baby size below. 

I had some fun trying out some different colors for this pattern. I'm partial to blue, but the yellow and green one reminds me of summer citrus. 

Hopefully you see a version that you like. You can grab your pattern here and make one this week!

Love Strings Quilt Pattern

56" x 72"

I called this pattern Love Strings because of the little blue squares make up the hearts and the green is the connecting strings. I originally designed it in red and black which you can see below which would be perfect for a February quilt. Since it's summer time, I went ahead and make it in turquoise and lime green which is one of my favorite color combos.

 I have been wanting to make a quilt with a checkered background for quite some time. It just took a while to find the right pattern to put it with. Check out the red and black version and the red and teal version.

How about a monochromatic version? This one has beautiful green blue shades.

a three color version

This baby version is oh so soft looking in pinks and grays. 

You can find my new Love Strings pattern in my etsy shop. It comes in 5 sizes from baby to king. Which version do you like the best?

Another Lakeview Terrace Quilt

60 x 70

Finally finished is this Lakeview Terrace Quilt I started several months ago. This is the second quilt I have made in this pattern. You can see the first one here. This one got some bright and happy fabrics! I made it all from scraps. 

For the quilting, I choose a wavy line with alternating loops. It was very easy to quilt. I just put one line per strip. Something different for a change.

I had nothing in my stash big enough for a back so I decided to make one from matching pieces. I wanted to use some of each color and this is what I came up with. I really am trying not to buy backing fabric unless I have to. 

One for picture just because I love it! Those soft colors are so pretty.

 

Postcard Quilt - throw size

While I was making a postcard quilt for a customer, I found some triangles in some similar colors but not the ones that I like to use. So I thought I would make an extra postcard quilt using those pieces up. You can hardly tell that I did because there are so many different colors in this pattern already. 

I love this gray print from Joann's. The wavy white lines look great with the wavy quilting. It's like they were made for each other!

My favorite shot of the quilt on the couch. Such beautiful colors. I love making this one. Get one for yourself in my etsy shop.
