A Quilt for the Hubs

Have you ever been confronted by your loved one because you've been quilting FOREVER and never made them anything?  Happened to me about a year ago.  I didn't think he had much to complain about, after all he uses all the quilts in the house.  He just wanted his own, a manly one so this is what I made.

The front.

The back.

The happy man.

Lime Slice & Orange Dice and a Christmas Present

I saw this pattern on the internet and fell in love with it!  So I made 2!

The Orange Slice.

And the Lime Dice.

Then my brother was complaining that his mom and sister  are quilt but he doesn't own one.  So we made him his Christmas present with this pattern in browns.

 We used the quilt as you go method on his.  All 3 turned out wonderful.

Hey Mom?!

Me: Yes honey.
Chase:  Why do quilts rock?
Me: Why sweet pea?
Chase  Come look what I did!!!
Me:  (in my head)  Oh good lord what is he up to!

Chase:  They make AWESOME forts!!!
Me:  YES they do!!!

Car Quilts

Do you have a car quilt?  I had to make one.  Now each of our vehicles has a car quilt so I never need to worry about bringing a blanket for Chase.  Here is mine.

Its a disappearing 9 patch.  And I did the quilt as you go method.

Its almost too nice for the car.

Welcome Spring

I fell in love with this Moda Bake Shop pattern.  I had a Jelly roll of so beautiful batik fabrics that was perfect for this pattern.

I simply quilted lines in the solid white strips then went back and hand quilted some colorful circles with pearl cotton.

Chase approved.

Ticker Tape

Just plain fun.  I loved playing with all my scraps.
