Breezy Quilt, #2 from Jan's Quilts

While making the Breezy #1 quilt top, I thought it'd be fun to have more colors in the background. For Breezy #1, I used Kona Windsor and Coty. For Breezy #2, I used Kona Turquoise, Chartreuse, Citrus, Red, and Surf. Thank heavens for a fabric stash!

This is a fun finish for me. Each month I make 4 quilt blocks, 2 to donate to my quilt guilds' Charity BOM project, and 2 to keep for quilts like this one. One of the blocks in this quilt are from a class I took at Quiltcon a couple of years ago ...

Breezy, Quilt #1 from Jan's Quilts

This is a fun finish for me. Each month I make 4 quilt blocks, 2 to donate to my quilt guilds' Charity BOM project, and 2 to keep for quilts like this one. Three of the blocks in this quilt are from a class I took at Quiltcon a couple of years ago. The quilt back is made from fabric I purchased; I thought it was printed madras patchwork. So much for thinking, it's actually pieced; lots of squares of madras sewn together.

Tree Quilt Block from Jan's Quilts

At the March meeting for the Temecula Valley MQG, I'm presenting the BOM. I got these done early and the tutorial scheduled on the TVMQG website because my life is busy! The was an easy block to make Kristy has very good directions. I recommend paying attention to her seam pressing suggestions. You can find the tutorial here.

Breezy Quilt Tops from Jan's Quilts

When I make charity quilt blocks for my quilt guild, the Temecula Vally Modern Quilt Guild, I make 2 to donate and 2 to keep. I threw in some orphan blocks and made these quilt tops from the keepers. Two quilt tops done, same pattern, different look.

First I made the quilt top on the left. While I was making it, I was inspired to make the brighter version. Thank heavens for an abundant stash!

For Breezy #1, I used Kona Windsor and Coty.

Wonky Stars BOM from Jan's Quilts

These are the TVMQG's BOM for January, Wonky Stars. Our meeting was on the 17th, so I'm late! Life just got in the way. Two of these will stay here for future quilts, and two will be donated to my quilt guild. Now to work on the February BOM, a Scrappy Log Cabin Heart.

Maple Leaf Blocks from Jan's Quilts

These are for my Modern Quilt Guilds' Block of the Month Charity Quilt project. Each month a different member chooses a block to present. Once enough blocks are collected, we assemble them into large lap-size quilts to donate to a local charity.

This month's tutorial can be found here. Rather than use yardage, I had this great Charm Pack that I thought would work perfectly. I had to improvise a bit, but I think the Maple Leaves turned out great.

Freckled Fox Mug Rug. from Jan's Quilts

This Fancy Forrest Freckled Fox may or may not be part of my quilty gift exchange at the December guild meeting. For the exchange this year we decided to do wrapped gifts of anything quilty or quilt related. The exchange will be done by a Yankee Swap, which is always so much fun!

In case you've never heard of a Yankee Swap, here are the rules:

The rules are the same as a White Elephant Gift Exchange.

I'm traveling for 11 days in early December, so I wanted to finish this early.

Giving Love Qujilt Top from Jan's Quilts

My quilt guild, the Temecula Vally Modern Quilt Guild, makes quilts to give to Thomas House. We're a small guild and we manage to give 12 quilts a year to them. This quilt top was made from donated Block of the Months. The blocks are 12.5" and the HSTs are the same size; those are the larges HSTs I've ever made! I'll turn this quilt top into the Charity Quilt Vice President at our next meeting, then someone will quilt it and someone will bind it, maybe me!

I came up with the quilt design, if ...

Fast, So Fast! from Jan's Quilts

These were the "fastest blocks in the West"! So fast. They are the November #bom for the #TVMQG charity quilt project. The name of this block is Whirlwind. I can see the possibility of an entire quilt made from these blocks. It'd be finished in a couple of days!

What are you working on?
