Curved Magic Quilt

My husband went with me to pick up my sewing machine from its annual checkup and saw a quilt on the wall that he liked.  First off, he doesn't like white backgrounds in a quilt and second it had lime green which is not his favorite color.

This quilt is made from a curved ruler. It has a book with this quilt and several others in it. I was a little intrigued so a week or so later I went back to the store and purchased the book and the ruler.

I showed on a previous post the table runner I made to learn this new and tricky technique. This top went together relatively easy. I loaded it on the HQ and was quilting a simple pantogram and on the second row I really messed up but didn't notice until the third row.  I was so upset and decided I was going to just give it away as a charity quilt.

I was making this quilt on the sly so I could give it to my husband for his birthday in October. He could tell I was upset about something so I ended up telling him what was wrong. He said to finish it and let him decide whether to keep it or not.

Well, it is done and it is on the back of his sofa so I guess we are keeping it.

I would say 'Keep on Scrappin' but this is not a scrappy quilt. I purchased the blue and grey just for this quilt.  I would never have made this quilt because there is only three colors but he seems to like it.

Last Quilt for Today

This is my last quilt post for today.

This was made from a jelly roll I have had for almost 10 years. It was time to use this jelly roll.

This is a pattern by Jenny Doan called Card Tricks. I custom quilted this. Not real good but done is better than perfect.

I really love the bright colors and white back ground of this quilt.  At this point I am not giving this quilt away.

Keep on Scrappin!

Baby Quilts Completions

Wow, baby quilts!

About 10 years ago I purchased die cut hearts and then promptly stashed them away. I am not quite sure why I purchased them other than they were cute.

This red and purple one was very iffy to me. Just not my favorite colors for a baby quilt.

This pattern was from Wedding Dress Blues website. I used up some half square triangles that I had stashed in a drawer.

All of these quilts have been quilted with the Baptist Fan groovy board.

Now this quilt is much more in the colors I think should be baby quilts.

All of the squares used in these baby quilts are 5 inch squares that I have cut and stashed.

I have a drawer full of 1 1/2 inch squares and strips that I really love.

I also love 9 patches on point and with my favorite color of green I think this quilt is lovely.

Pink and lavender is a very girly baby quilt.

I really like the combination. All of the heart quilts are just randomly arranged.

This is a totally scrappy baby quilt with  different a layout. I think it is a very interesting design.

All of these quilts are going into bins that I have set aside for our coming great grand babies.

This one I like because it is various shades of green. Even some greens that I am not particularly fond of.

I like yellow, orange and green quilts for babies.  This way a boy or girl can use them.

This is for sure a baby boy quilt. I love all the different blues.

Well, this is all of the quilts for babies but not the end of the quilts that I have completed. Stay tuned for more.

Keep on Scrappin!

Summer Completions

I have been very busy this summer although I haven't been good to document it on my blog.

I really like to wait until I have completions before blogging about it.

This quilt was a last minute decision. I loved the drama of it. It is a Jenny Doan pattern but she did it in blues. Since green is my favorite color and I had a big bin of green strips already cut I made my version in green.

I can see this quilt in a number of different colors or all in totally scrappy.

As you can see the center forms a flower effect.

I used the Baptist Fan groovy board for the quilting and a soft, light green thread. I am very pleased with this completion. All but a couple of fat quarters I purchased are directly from my stash.

This table runner was a trial sample to try out the curved ruler and book I purchased. I think I have the technique down and I have actually moved on to make a quilt for Ron with this technique and I will show it later when I have completed the hand stitching on the binding.

I custom quilted this very tight in order for it to lay as flat as possible. It looks great on the table.

I will now write another post for the next 8 baby quilts I have completed.

Keep on Scrappin!
