Quilt Show, Fabric and Purchases from Cheryl's Teapots2Quilting

On Thursday, I went to a guild members home for fabric. Another member is giving away her fabric stash since she doesn't feel up to sewing anymore. I gathered some fabric.

A Little Stitching, Cutting and a Few Finds from Cheryl's Teapots2Quilting

On my last trip I found a new flannel Jelly Roll at an antique shop for a couple of bucks. I didn't realize that this Jelly Roll only had 18 strips (not the usual 40 strips). Still, it was cute fabric and I used it to make a small Jelly Roll Race quilt.

I bought some flannel yardage on Monday so that I can add borders and binding to this little quilt top. It will make a cute baby quilt for a boy. It's always nice to have a couple of baby ...

I Spy Quilt for Clayton from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

3 weeks ago a co-worker shared that her cousin's baby was having surgery in Houston. He was born with Craniosynostosis - a premature fusion of the cranial sutures (soft spots). I went home and began pulling fabrics for a quilt. I've been collecting fabrics for I Spy quilts for some time and I thought Clayton needed one so sewing commenced. I used a disappearing 9-patch for the design and pulled

Disappearing 9-Patch, (I Spy) Kids Quilt from Elaine Adair Pieces

So far, so good.

Closer view - my arrangement left all the blocks right side up.

I have a LOT more 4.5 in. squares, sent from friends and bloggers. Everyone wanted to help out! This quilt is going to an RN who headed up the Cardio P.T. that I attended for almost 3 months. She had a new baby about the time of my medical "incident" so I wasn't able to make it then.

It's very jumbled, but I am trying new things -- I like it. I had seen a friend's Disappearing 9-Patch that was over-the-top ...

Kids Prints, I Spy from Elaine Adair Pieces

Many of these cute prints were sent to me by a blogging friend, (thank you Joan, of www.shelbystitcher) with my promise that I'd get the fabric made up into kids quilts. So far, so good.

I was particularly interested in the setting and sashing of this design. The quilt made up larger than expected (like always?). It's 60 x 70". Good for toddler, perfect for an "I Spy". There are a few duplicates. My favorite block is a little dark haired girl with glasses - so cute!!!

I needed a little more width to the backing. Those are ...
