Random Quilt

My husband told me that this quilt was really random, and I decided to take that as a compliment.  I was going for strips with a twist.  What do you think?

 

I quilted it in a large stipple pattern.  

The back is pieced and beautifully wonky.  ;)

My label is embroidered and hand-appliqued to the back.

Winnie the Pooh Quilt

I just finished this baby quilt for a Winnie-the-Pooh-themed nursery.

I added some embroidery to give it a little something extra.  You know Pooh can't be happy without honey bees! :)

I quilted it with diagonal straight lines, which I love with the half square triangles.

I tried a different kind of label this time.  It's embroidered and hand appliqued in the bottom right corner.

I know this will be the perfect blanket for a precious baby boy!

Baby Bricks Quilt

This quilt is a gift for some college friends of ours who just had their first baby a few weeks ago.  I'm a little late in sending it, but better late than never, right?

I'm really liking the idea of square baby quilts right now, so don't be surprised if you see more of them from me in the future.  I forgot to measure it before I put it in the mail, but I think it's about 38" x 38."

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you have a great weekend.  I'm doing a 5K tomorrow...  I hope I don't pass out from the heat!  It's already so hot in southern New Mexico! ;)

Oh My Dog Complete!

I finally finished the Oh My Dog quilt I have been working on for the past few weeks.  It didn't take too long to complete the quilt part, but my speed decreased dramatically when it came time to attach the binding.  I love the look of hand attached binding, but it does take me some precious time to complete.

This quilt is much like my Pretty Patchwork quilt that I mentioned last week, except I used disappearing nine patch blocks instead of squares and a rectangle or two.  I love the way it turned out!

I pieced some simple squares into the backing, which makes it very sweet.  

It's quilted with loops in the center, and the borders are just finished off with some "in the ditch" straight lines.  

Now, I'm going camping.  No quilting for me for a few days...  I think I'll survive.

  Enjoy your weekend!!
