Sultry

Here is one of the quilts from all the sultry blocks I made about a month ago. I also have a twin size ready to quilt and some more blocks to make into something else. I love the whirlygigs, they go together so fast and look so cute. The colors in this are so soft. I used a light pink thread for quilting a meandering daisy design. Then light green loops on the small border. The finished size is 40 x 50.

How Much Fabric? Card GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!!

I need this, not that I mind purchasing extra fabric. But I am not as good at estimating for clothes as I am for quilts.

Tumbling Blocks

I love the colors in these fabrics. They are from the All-Star collection by Riley Blake. I was really excited when I got the opportunity to make a baby boy quilt from them. I love the honeycomb look you get when you put the same color blocks together. This quilt went together really fast. I quilted the middle with an echo of the honeycomb shape. Then I stitched swirly stars in the border.

The mom-to-be loved it! Which is always the most exciting part. The Young Women threw her a baby shower and we also gave her some coordinating burp cloths and soft toy block to go with the quilt. It is always hard to find boy fabric and I love this line a lot. There is something about orange that really draws me lately.

I met Heather Bailey!

A few weeks ago I scored a bunch of her fabric at the annual Quilt's Etc. sale. I had been amassing quite a collection of Pop Garden, and I easily doubled it. Then I heard she was going to be at Material Girls, a quilt shop up in Salt Lake, so I decided to go.

She was very nice and it was fun to meet a fabric designer. But I really wish Jessica or my mother could have come with me. I need a partner in crime!
