The Pathway Quilt

 Hi everyone!

Today I'm sharing my latest quilt finish. It's called Pathway and was made for my best friend's first grandchild. She picked the fabric and the pattern and even helped make it.

The fabric that my friend chose is very colorful and vibrant. It's an Australian Aboriginal design called Dreamtime from M&S Textiles. We brought the 10 pack (layer cake) in Multi for the main fabric and a roll (jelly roll) in Red for the binding.

The pattern that she chose is Cobblestone Street by Robert Kaufman Fabric. It's a free pattern and is super easy to make - except for the bias edges. 😬 But I put a border on it, which seemed to help the wavy edges.

Photo time...

For the quilting, we chose super simple straight lines about 4 inches apart. As you can see from the photo, there is some puckering on the back. As this quilt is for a child, I didn't fret too much about it. "Done is better than perfect."  As usual, the backing is a thrift store sheet.

Oh well, that's it for now. I'll have another quilt to show off in the next week or so. It's another Plus quilt, but this one is different than any other plus quilt I've done, so I'm really excited to show it off when it's done.

Until then, thanks for stopping by!

The Catch Up Post

Hi everyone and Happy 4th of July!!

I can't believe how much time has passed since I last posted anything. Where has the time gone?

Several times during this absence, I thought, "I need to do a blog post." and then something comes up, and I find a week or more has passed.

But during the time away from my blog, I have been doing a lot of quilting, and I have a few pictures to prove it.

First up...

This is a quilt top I'm working on that still needs to be finished. (I had to put it aside to work on two quilts that need to be finished by the end of this month.)

This is called Lemon Fizz, and you get it as a free pattern when you buy the Spring Brook Jolly Bar from the Fat Quarter Shop. I also have the Spring Brook Fat Quarter Bundle and Bella Solid Coordinates. I haven't decided what I'm doing with the Fat Quarters yet.

Hopefully, I will be able to get this finish within the next couple of months.

Second...

Is a finished quilt for the first grandchild of my best friend. The baby boy is due at the end of this month.

I love how bright and cheerful it is. When I was deciding on which fabrics to use, the soon-to-be parents posted a mural they had made for the baby's room, and I immediately knew what I wanted to use. The fabric is KimberBell Basics Kim's Picks Summer 21.

The pattern is called Fat Quarter Shuffle from CluckCluckSew. This is a super easy pattern that came together really fast. I think it took me two weeks to complete it. (Not including hand sewing the binding.)

And third...

Is another quilt that I don't have any pictures of yet. But I'm helping the happy grandmother make a quilt, and it's taking a lot longer than I thought it would. She will be flying out to see the new family during the 2nd week of August, so we still have some time to get it done. So more pictures to come.

Well, that's what I've been working on.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July.

Until next time...

Thanks for stopping by!
