What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This is the last of my A Quilted Gift finishes for this week.

This is a simple sashed 9-patch with a cowboy border. There was enough of these fabrics in the donation bins to make 3 of this quilt, with more left over. I put one together and made up kits for two more. The kits will make up quilts identical to this one, but with different backing fabrics. I don't think I'm going to quilt this one, I'm going to hand it in and let another Guild member do the quilting. I included the strips for ...

Cowboy Panel Quilt, 2025

Continuing the finishes of the quilts I have been working on creating for my guild's charity quilt project -- A Quilted Gift.

Basted, some quilting begun

My #onemonthlygoal for this month is to finish machine quilting my Light/bright Stars Quilt.

A Finished Top

I have been trying to work through my stash and have been playing around with scrap fabrics. This project is a baby quilt that began with a balloon print that I got in a kit from my Guild's donation quilts committee. It had a red print with it. I added orange, blue, and green scraps and ended up with a fun, bright quilt top. I pieced a backing from larger pieces of an orange, blue, and green that I used in the blocks and will use the original red fabric from the kit as the binding ...
