What I'm Working On

Hi everyone!

Have you seen the quilting book Scrap-Basket Bounty by Kim Brackett? If not, you should. I love this book. 😍❤ It's packed with 16 scrappy quilts that are super easy to make and will definitely put a dent in your scrap stash. Not only are there 16 quilts, but each pattern includes two additional block arrangements. 

I started with the Star Petals pattern, but I'm sure I will be making all of them because they are all fabulous.

Today I'm sharing the quilt top with you.


             


No. I haven't made two quilts, but there's a mistake in one of these pictures. Can you find it? 

Luckily, I was able to find it and correct it without too much hassle.

I started quilting it yesterday, so hopefully, I'll be back soon to share lots of pictures of the finished quilt with you.

Until then...thanks for stopping by!

A Sweet Heart Quilt

Hi everyone!

I can't believe it's been more than a month since I last posted. Wow, how time flies. But I'm back today to share a quilt with you.

This quilt is a Valentine's Day quilt that I finished in March. For the pattern, I used Big Love Quilt by Modern Handcraft, which you can find here. It's a super easy quilt to make. It's made up of large half-square triangles and, I love how it came out.




All the fabrics that I used.


You can't tell but, the backing is a very light pink.

Our dog Rocko wanted to be in the picture.


I had a lot of fun picking out the fabrics. They are all from JoAnn's and Walmart. The backing, as usual, is a thrift store sheet. The quilting is my usual stitch in the ditch of all the seams. Super easy. And I sewed the binding on by machine. 

The finished quilt is 54″ x 62″.

Since it wasn't finished for Valentine's Day, I guess I have to wait until next year to display it in my house. Oh well.

That's it for now. Until next time...

Thanks for stopping by!
