Second Chance Quilt: Little Bits from Wedding Dress Blue

In a hand-me-down bag there were these little bits. A 1-1/2″ strip with 6 1-1/2″ squares attached. Twenty of them. Such cute little bits. They wanted to be a quilt.

Adding 6″ stars in matching colors and some sashing fit the bill. I like the way it makes the stars shimmer with movement.

The polka dot binding was an unexpected decision, and the backing is a little odd, too. But they do work, and it all came from stash, so that’s a win.

Second Chance projects can make one dig deep to find a solution. I do ...

Coon Dash Quilt COMPLETE from Wedding Dress Blue

In a scrap bag I got small scraps of this raccoon/bear/tree fabric. Sort of odd colors, but the print was cute.

The solution was Churn Dash blocks with the fabric in the centers. And some sashing and matching binding.

It will be delivered to a co-worker who is expecting her first baby soon. The baby shower was a few weeks ago…but we are all doing the best we can.

Churn Dash blocks are so versatile.

Hi and welcome to my very quiet post. The only thing that got done this week was to wash the Small Blue Scrappy Quilt. I put it into the dryer (I don't do that often but the results give such fluffy goodness).

Recreating the Iconic American Beauty Quilt from Sew French

Variable Star COMPLETE (And Mini Tutorial) from Wedding Dress Blue

This is a great pattern to use up jelly roll leftovers. In fact, a bunch of those (already conveniently sewn into sets) is what inspired this pattern.

The strip sets are 6 strips high and 12-1/2″ wide. The stars are also 12 inches (finished). I used a plan similar to THIS TUTORIAL: https://www.createwithclaudia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/CWC-Mystery-Quilt-Along-2020-November-Block.pdf

I matched the star centers and the binding. I would like to do this again and highlight a focal fabric in the star centers.

This quilt will be donated to the local childrens hospital.

Baby Henry’s Quilt: Complete from Wedding Dress Blue

Baby Henry should receive his quilt today.

While I usually work with small pieces, the simple, bold look of this quilt pleases me. And it allows larger prints to shine. And I love the unexpected-but-perfect binding.

The print squares started at 6″. The HST as squares of 6-1/2″. The quilt finishes at +-39″.

ps–I am not sure why these pictures are poor, but the quilt is in the mail, and I cannot retake them. I hope you can get the idea anyway. These things sometimes happen.

Animal Crackers Quilt from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

Last night I finished binding a UFO from last yearI don't watch a lot of You-Tube videos, but somewhere along the line a Moonkin Stitchery clip popped up somewhere and I liked what I saw. Her tutorials are no nonsense, easy, clear and concise. Her older videos include a PDF download, but these recent ones do not. However, her tutorials are easy enough that a printed pattern isn't really necessary

Charming Baby Quilt from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

Today I have another baby quilt finish to share. I missed adding this one to my list of quilts I hoped to make this year so I'll just count it as a bonus quiltThis is one of the first fabric lines I bought when I began quilting and I've made numerous quilts with it. It was a Moda collection called Lily & Will from Bunny Hill Designs. Circa 2010-ish I think and after all these

Sweet Baby and a sweet surprise from Elsie Quilts

The label went on, the record page is in my scrapbook, and this one is officially done. It will likely go to Basically Babies, but I like it so much that I might wait to see if someone near has a baby in their near future. It is a panel. I added the borders and find the color combination exciting. A name didn't come to mind so just used the writing on the fabric.

My surprise? This quilt below was made in a class in 2007. The teacher had been with Ricky Tims and was given permission to teach ...

My Favorite “Go To” Baby Quilt Patterns from Modern Sunbonnet Sue

Quilters like certain patterns to stitch for baby quilts. These patterns are conducive to smaller block sizes, juvenile cotton prints, and easy stitching. I have made a fair number of baby quilts over the years. One-patch blocks like 9-patch, tumbling blocks, or parallelogram shapes are classic designs. Alphabet blocks, animal blocks, and fussy-cut pieces for […]

Peaches & Cream Gingham Quilt from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

This is my 1st quilt finish of the year. Yes, it's another gingham quilt. I like the simple, timeless, classic design and I really like having a few on hand to welcome new babies. Last month I needed 2 and it was so nice to have some ready.Sometimes a fabric just feels right for a gingham quilt. Such was the case for this sweet floral and coordinating fabrics I pulled from my stash back in
