I finished the tops to 2 more quilts. They weren’t super complicated and both went fast, but now I’m stuck at the pre-pinning stage. My mom has the huge table we use for clamping the layers and pinning a quilt. It’s just impossible to get everything straight and tigkt and even without it. Hopefully I’ll be up that way soon.
This is a pretty simple top made from a Lake House fabric. It’s 10” squares of daisies. I’m using pink minky for the back, so I wanted to stay simple because I’ve been told you can only do minimal quilting with minky.
These are the tops to the reversible quilt. It’ll be interesting to see if they line up during pinning. It just needs to be fairly close for what I have planned. I wish the camera had picked up the colors better, especially the pinks.
Also, here’s a project that I did forever ago, but I don’t know why it’s never been posted. It’s a pillow quilt. This one is small and only lightly quilted with freehand squiggles. I love these because they’re fast, warm and compact. They fold into a pillow, which is perfect for throwing in the car. You can make them just about any size as long as the pillow pocket is 1/3rd the width of the quilt by 1/4 the length so it folds up nicely.
The pocket is a quilted rectangle/square topstitched to the bottom center of one side. The quilt is folded in thirds lengthwise (toward the camo side) to line up with the pocket edges, then it’s folded over 3 times and stuffed into the pocket as it’s turned inside out.
Finally, I’ve been working to reorganize my office, so I went through all my fabric and organized it into scrap drawer, yardage drawer, fat 1/4-charms-jelly roll drawer. It’s beautiful.
I have 2 quilts planned out. Blooms for Annabelle by Bloom Creek with all those pretty pastel florals on the left there, and an idea for a blocky quilt from the pinks and browns (I just have to figure out the math and get going).
