This quilt was my first go at a Disappearing 9 Patch quilt. I love the randomness, although I know now that I should have some solids to balance it all out. This is Moda’s Sugar Pop line, same stuff I used for my coin quilt, just a different color scheme. I love the coral/purple/pink/blue. I [...]

I don’t think I’ve ever blogged about this finished quilt – but remember Moda’s Sugar Pop line? It was new at the end of last year and this is what I did with all the blues and greens. I love coin quilts (I think that’s what this is most widely known as…). I used a [...]

The All Star 2 line from Riley Blake is quite possibly my favorite boy fabric lines ever. Because of the new baby due in August, we moved Elliot from his toddler bed to a twin bed, and this is his new quilt! I bought enough fabric to make a second matching quilt for Gus when [...]

Remember that Marine fabric I wrote about before? I tackled the quilting last weekend and I LOVE how it turned out. I tried something different this time – I used the generic minky from JoAnn for the backing (I think it’s officially called Soft & Comfy or something like that, it doesn’t have the dots) [...]

Remember this tumbler quilt? I got it all quilted on my machine, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I did diagonal straight lines, and with the walking foot it wasn’t too bad at all. But now I need your help! I just can’t decide if something more neutral like the brown looks [...]

I’ve been quilting a lot lately. By quilting I mean putting together quilt tops. I’ve only actually finished one quilt, and I paid out my nose to have it professionally done. There had to be a better way. I love how it turned out, but HOLY COW, it cost me a lot. So I did [...]
