Well, obviously working a full-time job doesn't leave me much time to blog....


I've also been busy making several more baby quilts.  Here's my most recent one:

I have become addicted to watching Quilting tutorials on YouTube lately.  The Missouri Star Quilt Company has some of the absolute best videos.  I found this pattern on their site and made it in just a few days.  To make this block you need to stitch together five 2-1/2 inch strips of fabric approximately 11" in length.  I ironed all of the seam allowances in the same direction for this project.  Once you have all of your blocks sewn and ironed, you need to square them up into 10-1/2 inch square blocks.  For the above baby quilt, I used 18 of the 10-1/2 inch blocks.  Take two blocks and place them right sides together.  One block should have the strips running horizontal, while the other block has the strips running vertical.  Pin the two blocks together and stitch a 1/4" seam allowance around the outside edges of the two blocks.  Set the seams with your iron.  Using your rotary wheel cut the block on both diagonals to create 4 new blocks.  Iron your new blocks and decide how you want them to be assembled.


This quilt was a great way to use up a lot of scrap pieces.  


Here's another one of my recent baby quilts:

As you can see, I love quilts with lots of color!


My other recent love is to create t-shirt quilts.  Here are a few of my favorites

I hope you enjoy these quilts!
