Hello Luscious Quilt

This is my latest creation.... a baby girl quilt made with the
Hello Luscious fabric collection by BasicGrey for Moda Fabrics.
I used two charm packs for the front and 1.5 yards of coordinating fabric on the back.



Moda charm packs are available for sale on my website.
I'm almost out of Hello Luscious, but there are lots
of other awesome collections to choose from.....


And they are all on sale until May 14th. Happy Mother's Day!




This quilt is approximately 39 x 43 inches...
the perfect size for tummy time, nap time, or bed time....
 or just to snuggle up!



I did a meander design with white thread for the quilting.


 
Three charm packs will make a larger child-size quilt that is about 45 x 54 inches.
You can always add borders made from
a coordinating print or solid fabric to make the quilt larger.

This is a super easy quilt for beginners.

Happy Quilting :-)

Puttin on the Ritz Baby Quilt

This is what I worked on this weekend.... a baby quilt. This could be made using a charm pack, but I used fat quarters instead and cut them into five-inch squares. The sashing is 2 1/2 inches wide cut from Moda Bella Solids Ivory. The finished quilt is 41 x 43 inches. I couldn't make it any wider than the backing fabric without piecing that too, but it turned out just the right size for a baby.
People always ask me how I get the quilting lines so straight. Truth is.... I cheat! I use a disappearing ink pen to mark a row of dots to follow. They washed right out when I ran the finished quilt through the washer. Caution: Do not iron over the markings because the heat might set the ink into the fabric permenantly.




This one is pre-sold. I hope MawMaw likes it :-)

A few tablerunners

In an effort to showcase some of the new Moda charm packs, I've made a few tablerunners. They are easy as pie! Just assemble the pre-cut squares as you want and sew.

The first runner was made using Grand Finale by Sandy Gervais. The second is Nature's Gift by Deb Strain.  The third was made with an assortment of batiks from my stash.  The charm packs for the first two are available on my website http://www.charmpacksplus.com/ for a limited time only, but there are lots of others to chose from should those be sold out.

Enjoy!
