    Blooming Fields – Month 1

    I am such a sucker for a block of the month. I like tot have many projects going on at a time. This keeps the boredom away. Sometimes I feel like I may have ADHD in regards to quilting since I can not focus on one project. I had forgotten how much I like to use batiks to piece with. I don’t quite like how they feel, so I had not used it for a long time. See the project details here: Blooming Fields Related Images:

    Kona 2025 BOM

    This quilt top was from the Kona 2025 BOM. Each month was made using a charm pack of the Kona color of the month that complimented the wall calendar. The pattern called for a piano key border, but not as narrow as the one I had opted for. I had so many charms left over that I had to use more. Related Images:

    Cali & Co Block of the Month

    Coriander Quilts had a free block of the month on her website that started in January. I participated and used her new (at the time) fabric line – Cali & Co. This is a little more busy that I typically like my quilts, but it still turned out ok. I did mess up on the stars. Instead of putting stars only in the cornerstones inside the quilt, I put stars at all the cornerstones. Oh well – a design choice. When doing the cut-of of the stich-and-flip corners of each block they produced a bonus block. I used mine to create a matching table runner: Related Images:

    Up on the Rooftop Quilt Along

    This top was made from a kit from Fat Quarter shop to participate in their quilt-along for Christmas. I did change several things from the original pattern: I made the “h”‘s more cursive and less pixilated-looking from the original pattern. I also changed the background from a solid black to a grunge fabrice. I added the pieced border to mimic and compliment the divider. The backing has been pieced and the name label has been inset into it. The binding has been cut and prepped. What is left to do? I still need to cut batting and sandwich, quilt, and bind the quilt and put in the date tag. I did have to purchase the black thread so I am waiting on that to quilt it. Related Images:
