Baby ducks


This is a quick baby quilt I just finished for a gift. It has many different textures of fabric--flannel, silky, super soft fleece, and cotton. I did quick loopy quilting on it. The ducks and bubbles fabric on the back is so fun. The orange fabric isn't quite so bright in real life.

Brassy Stars


This is my most recent finish. Just pulled out of the dryer and delivered today. This fabric has been sitting for a couple years now. A neighbor wanted to learn how to quilt. We went to pick out fabric together. She picked the pattern and cut out all the squares and triangles. Then she moved about 20 minutes away and between our busy schedules we never got around to putting it all together. So, I finally decided to just sew it all together, finish it up, and give it to them. The pattern is called Brasstown Star and it is 60x60 inches. Hopefully they enjoy it.

Flower Boxes

This is my most recent finish. I am really happy with the way it turned out. The pattern is a modified bento box. To add a little fun I appliqued some of the flowers from one fabric around the border.
The back has the flower fabric, which can be a bit overwhelming in large quantities. So I broke it up a little with some green stripes. Since this was made for someone in mind, it made it easier to give away.

Puffy


This quilt I also photographed while in Colorado. I made it for my mom I am not sure how long ago, probably on a college break. It is one of those where the squares are puffy. As you can see the quilt is not finished (see the corners). My mom had promised that she would finish it but that never happened. But she still uses it on one of the guest room beds--so I guess there is no reason to finish it now. At the top you can see Caleb and Isaac who I volunteered to be my quilt holders as I took all the pictures. Thanks guys.
