Show and Tell - Allegro Quilt from Baby Boomer Quilting Bee

 


A very scrappy version of the Allegro Quilt was so much fun to make.  I waited until all the blocks were laid out before auditioning the inner border.  This particular version screamed green.    The recipient was a young girl who loves pink, so it made a perfect pairing.

Show and Tell Sunday, Star Cruising Quilt from Baby Boomer Quilting Bee



The Star Cruising monochromatic quilt of greens was made last year, however I am still catching up posts on this blog.  The uniqueness of the quilt center came from a stencil found on Etsy (Native Owl Customs).  I enlarged the stencil to fit the center.  The young high school graduate recipient  loves the outdoors.  

Other versions of this quilt can be found here ... a couple of them were used for Quilts of Valor.

Strike A Chord - Wedding Gift from Baby Boomer Quilting Bee

 


Strike A Chord  -  A wedding gift 

After being widowed in 2016, our sister found love again and was married earlier this year.  We are so happy for her ....  so to celebrate, I made a quilt from one of my latest patterns (Strike A Chord) for the newlyweds.




Contrary to the number of pieces, the quilt came together quickly with strip piecing.  The new couple like the deep warm colors of fall, especially brown.  Using my abundance of fall fabric, I approached the blocks with a scrappier theme.

New Pattern - Strike A Chord Quilt from Baby Boomer Quilting Bee



Introducing - Strike A Chord, published by Black Cat Creations.

For this design, it started with a bundle of Tim Holtz Fabric, Abandoned 2 by Free Spirit.  All my favorite elements had to be included .... something geometric, stars and plus blocks.  The background is a Moda Grunge.

I made several test blocks and played with settings; both on point and horizontal, each using just 12 blocks.  I just couldn't decide on the setting, so I wrote the pattern for both.
  


The horizontal version uses a line from Art Gallery Fabrics, "Kismet" by Sharon Holland.

Allegro Quilt Show and Tell from Baby Boomer Quilting Bee



My love for using small blocks together is at the top of my "favorites" scale.  Allegro, published by Black Cat Creations, uses basic nine patches, album blocks and frame blocks.  The layout is on-point and is very scrappy, although I used fabric from one designer (Kaffe Fassett).  

The small blocks can be cut out in batches and kitted for sewing here and there.  While working on another project, cut and kit a few left overs for later sewing. 

Allegro finishes a 69" X 86"
