nest

another on my to-do list done! That leaves 2 'in progress' quilts, I am so close. I used the tutorial here to make this disappearing nine patch (except my starting squares were charm packs --5in square )

I used Tula Pink's Nest line of fabric (I love her!), and am happy with it. It's so bright and colorful! I had hoped it would be a little bigger (it measures 50in x 44in), but I ran out of charms...

I pieced the back with fabric from the same line.
***edited to add: I made 14 nine patches using 126 five inch squares******

boxed in quilt---aka ultimate scrap quilt

I finally finished this quilt, I started it months ago. I finished most of the blocks, and then it sat and sat for 6 months I'd guess. Once I picked it up again, it went together fast.My only goal with this quilt was to use up the piles of scraps that are taking over. I LOVED putting this one together, each scrap reminded me of the particular quilt I made with it (some of them years ago).
Now I love it because it's big, probably one of the top 3 biggest quilts I've made--it measures 73x64in (which i realize isn't huge, but is definitely big for me). Since we made the move from Houston (warm) to Denver (cold), I have been desperate for a quilt large enough that two can snuggle under.
I went with a simple back and binding. The front is VERY busy, so I wanted the back to be calm, and I wanted the binding to frame it. I especially LOVE the navy blue with the green back.

another coin quilt

This one is a special order through my etsy shop. I just love coin quilts.


Lots of white, and lots of scraps...
i really like the backing...

My only goal for this year is to finish all my quilts that are currently 'in progress' before I start any new ones (unless it's a custom order or for a new baby). I am currently working on this one.

I just rememered another goal...I really need to use my stash. Lately there has been too much coming in (fabric) and too little going out (quilts).

jamie's red quilt

I finished this quilt for my sister and hoped to put it in the mail today, but it's snowing pretty good here-- i'm thinking it might not be in the mail until tomorrow (sorry jamie).

The quilt is intended to be a wall hanging, so I hung it on my own wall for pics. Now I'm thinking I need a quilt to hang on my wall too. I LOVE it on the wall.

(pics are limited because I was trying to crop out the mess that is my desk that is right next to the quilt...)

red white and aqua quilt

I'm feeling a little guilty about finishing a quilt when my house feels somewhat disorganized and cluttered from our move, but I had fun anyway. It was inspired by this quilt. Completely made up of scraps (except the white and the binding and backing...hmm, I guess just the squares are scraps).

This one will go to a new baby niece. Born just days after Christmas.
I realize this picture is blurry, but the little red ridinghood fabric (on the right) is one of my all time favorites. I use it very sparingly.

and the backing, pink, red and brown dots.
