Spring At Last!

I finished up my last winter therapy quilt just in time for spring to finally arrive.

This quilt is from Rachel Griffith's Scruffily Quilt pattern. I added another row to make it 57 x 66 which should be perfect for snuggling on the couch. I saw this pattern last year and immediately bought fabrics with a specific friend in mind. It is almost too sweet for my taste, but it'll be perfect for her. I'm glad I finished this quilt, even thought my interests have moved on since I originally put it on my to do list.

I definitely had fun picking all the fabrics from my stash to coordinate with the Hunky Dory ones you see here. I used sun spots from Amy Butler's Love and full moon dots from Lotus, some Spa, a Leanika print, Sandi Henderson's Farmer's Market, a Cosmo Cricket print, and Heather Bailey's Freshcut and another print (Bijoux?) I now must find again to stash. So glad spring is finally here.

Spring Emerging

More like spring exploding with this riot of pattern. It is based on the Scruffily Quilt from Moda Bakeshop, designed by Rachel Griffin of ps i quilt. I added from my stash but used some of a Hunky Dory layercake, charm pack, and jellyroll. I also made it one row larger, so it's a nice couch quilt size. If you were to just use precuts it would be even speedier to piece. I'm looking forward to quilting it, but another quilt is first in line (and already using nearly all my basting pins).

While we're out in the snow, here's the snowman kit I made in action.

Pure Baby Boy

Here's what's been keeping me so busy the past couple of weeks - my first design for Moda Bake Shop. Head on over for a free tutorial to make your own simple, modern baby quilt. It makes good use of a jelly roll and just 1 3/4 yards of other fabric, so you can create an affordable gift. It is also put together using strip piecing, so it's super quick. Above is a closeup of the back - also strip pieced. I think it would be gorgeous as a scrap quilt - hmmm...I know so, since I've already pieced it! I'm going to make this one extra special with hand quilting with perle cotton.
