Christmas Baby Quilt

Disappearing 9 patch. Coriander Quilts Starberry charm pack, Moda 'Home town Sky' (pale mint) charm pack, and Robin Pickens Winterley (layer cake, as I ran out of charm squares). Border is Coriander Quilts Starberry. I think the quilt measures 45 by 45 inches. No pattern, just charm squares sewn/cut with Disappearing 9 patch method. Backing: Benartex. Binding: Nutex. Quilting: serpentine stitch in 'Pistachio' Glide thread.

Arcade Quilt

A few years ago I sewed a skirt and a skirt lining from the wheat print grey cotton and the white dot on white cotton, the cotton was too thick for lining and the poplin was too thin for the style. I found the remnant of the white print so had enough for the inner border. 

The other blocks are the remainders of 2 Moda layer cakes. The prints are Holly woods by 3 Sisters and Le Beau Papillon' by French General. Yardage: blue gingham lefftover from a babyquilt/picnicquilt, the main navy print, cream dbinding and the cream thatched border are all Art Gallery Fabric. Batting: #hobbspolydown as I wanted it to be lightweight for spring despite using Christmas holly. Backing: is Stoff, white polkadot on grey.

Pattern is Arcade by Fabric Cafe.
