It's been a busy summer learning how to quilt! So far I have finished three mini quilts and one medium sized (32x32") sized quilt! It's been a ton of fun learning the ins and outs of quilting and it's easy to see why it is an addicting hobby for many people! Here's a look at my work so far...
The first quilt I made was the
Moda Love Quilt. It's also the largest one I've done so far. I used a Desert Bloom charm pack for the quilt with coordinating fabric for the background, backing and binding. I love how it turned out! It's the perfect colourful quilt to hang in our playroom/family room.
The second quilt I made is a Christmas quilt! It's the
Merrily Jolly wall hanging quilt using the Merrily by Gingiber panels and a charm pack. I have three animals left from the panels and plan to sew them up into pillows!
The third quilt I made is the
Schoolhouse block from Lori Holt's
Bee in my Bonnet blog. As soon as I saw this pattern I knew I had to make it into a mini quilt to hang up in my classroom! I just loved sewing this one up as it had much more intricate piecing than I had done before. I special ordered the penmanship background fabric from Lori Holt's line because I just HAD to have it. The other fabrics are mixed pieces from my stash.
The last mini quilt I finished is the
mini spools quilt pattern from
Thimbleblossoms. I have discovered many patterns (and fabrics) from this company that I loooove. This is the first one that I finished up, and it is perfect for hanging up in my sewing area. I used a Gooseberry charm pack and a some Cotton + Steel to make this quilt. Absolutely love it!
This little spot has quickly become my happy place. A little cluttered, but that's alright. I'm currently working on the
Vintage Tulips pattern from Thimbleblossoms. Can't wait to show the finished quilt!
