Nine Patch Baby/Dog







My own pattern! It came together using the teal, green, peach and yellow strips from a jellyroll, when I was ironing the strips, I sorted out the tropical colours. I managed to get it to a baby/pet quilt by adding a.border and extra white fabric. It is approx 43.5 inches by 49.5 inches. 

Yellow tile border, white with rainbow polka dot cut into strips, label, backing: Art Gallery Fabric poplin. The daisy print I purchased 2ndhand new. 

Moda jellyroll Love Lily purchased on sale, binding is the peach Moda print from the same range also on sale. I cut 2.5 inch double fold binding, I usually cut 2.25 inch but I thought wider would look cute 

Wadding: Soft & Bright polyester. Quilting: serpentine stitch in Superior Thread in cream, I use Gutermann thread for my labels. 
Wadding: Soft&Bright 

I had to cut 6 strips from white print yardage.  I cut the strips in half and strip piece into 3, for a nine patch colour coordinated checkerboard.

Irish Christmas Quilt


Teal foliage squares/binding, beige background, backing: Benartex. Turquoise diamonds: Moda Robin Pickens made me think of falling water drops, I sewed 24 HSTs one orientation, then the other 24 turned, to keep the directional print. Outer border Robin Pickens. Inner border Art Gallery Fabric floral elements, Mr W thought this might be too grey but it is mint green to me. Batting: Sew Simple 80/20 individual pack. Quilting: cream cotton Aurifil thread, back thread is Superior Thread. 

Pattern Irish Christmas from Fabriccafe, I received the Quick Christmas book from Mr W for my birthday. I like using 4 or 5 fabrics more than 3 and I use a double fold binding. Name blurred on label.
