New quilts from Fred...

 Here is a Christmas quilt that I just finished.  I used a turning 20 pattern and very fun prints.  I loved all the modern prints like zebra and chevron.  Yes, it all came in a kit.

This quilt is called a texture quilt.  It has cottons, flannels, corduroy, and two different minkys.  I love this concept.  In the process of making a second, larger foxy quilt. 

This is chevron backing..the same as a pattern on the front.  The green chevron closeup picture is on the back.  I love the greens and blues together.  Reminds me a bit of Krista's cute elephant quilt made from Sheryl.  I love the ric rack around the border and the binding.

I made what I call a Brazil quilt for the sweet family that houses the missionary (my missionary) in Brazil.  It is the colors of the Brazilian flag and it has a soccer minky (you can't tell the softness) backing it.  I bound it in plain white (Christian's suggestion).  I love the ombre chevron feeling of the quilt.  I did purchase enough of the same fabric to make Tyler one too when he returns.
 And they got it!  Loverly!

Very Hungry Caterpillar

My mother-in-law asked me to make this for her new granddaughter - Jules. I found all the material online....so much fun to make! Wendi, of course, had it quilted (stippled) and then bound it for me. I hope they love it!

Regular sized quilts as of late

 This is my first Buggy Barn quilt.  I took a class at Cotton Shop.  My friend (Michelle) makes awesome quilts that I get ideas from.
 close up of one of the flowers
 Bound in a scrappy sort of way with grey minky (mmmmm).
 Traditional strip quilt.  I can't seem to get away from making these.  I guess though I've made lots but not kept any.  This one is ok.  Not my fav.
 I love how it's backed in cute soft polka dot...minky.
 Pink and Orange Quilt (topsy turvy) done again with a pattern from Crazy Mom Quilts
 Love the flower quilting...quilted by my friend Michelle.  All others were quilted by Stacy Simmons.

And...my most fav of all.  I did save the best for last.  Saw pattern and kit in Fabric Mill in Orem and HAD to have it.  Love all the greys, greens, yellows together.  Who knew they would go so well together.  



 I took a bazillion pictures trying to get the pattern of the minky but it just wouldn't show up.  
Trust me it's so cool


Tops are done of 2 crib sized Christmas quilts (I don't know why...just to get rid of the fabric that was given to me)
Another big square quilt (from a kit...I do well with those...not so much thinking)
And...another couple scout quilts.  I think these may be the last.

Crib sized quilts as of late


 I love rainbowish bright colors.  This is called stacked baby coin quilt.  I got the quilt pattern from a blog that I absolutely love.  

 These two quilts, i bought the fabric in St. George at a cute little fabric store.  Daisy something.
Top is all squares together, bottom is sashed in between 4 squares.
 Bound in a cute plaid with darling roasted marshmallows on the back.  Camping theme.
 Love this one...Cowboy theme same pattern as above.
 Bound and backed in darling print. (sorry no brand names of fabrics..can't remember)

Ideas for scraps

So, I saw these and thought they would be great to make if you have a bunch of scraps! Saw them both on the Connecting Threads website. They have a lot of cute fun stuff and if you watch they put a lot of their kits on sale!

Charming Scrappy Squares Lap Quilt

Fall in the City Lap Quilt

Just another scrappy baby quilt

I think I need to make some BOY quilts.....there's a lot of pink on here! LOL This is a baby quilt that I made from scraps from Wendi. They all coordinated and were such cute colors......this quilt practically made itself! I backed it with light green flannel and had it quilted with pink thread. So cute.....

Here is another quilt made from left-over material. I made four nine-patch squares and just rotated them. This one is  backed with white flannel. As you can see....Wendi and I like stripes on the binding. It just adds a little pizazz to the quilt.
