Wooly Wall Hanging Pet Quilt

S says this is his new favourite pattern, perhaps because he is Welsh born! #woolywallhanging for Easter or Christmas.  I used scrappy prewashed cotton from other projects and all but the beige and black sheep are directional, so it took longer to cut.  Black/green stripe, forest, gingham - Moda. Silver birch - Makower. Beige unknown. White landscape, black sheep, binding - Art Gallery Fabric poplin.

Easter Lamb Quilt

No pattern / checkerboard 9 patch to use up the lamb print cotton, this one is baby sized for Fallon and I gifted one 2yrs ? ago. 3 wild animals Moda fat quarters I left out of a previous pet quilt, border/binding and the gingham were also off cuts but I have extra yardage. Had exactly enough blue lamb print for the backing leftover from other backing.  The batting was 1/2 of a remnant Hobbs 80/20. Serpentine stitch through the seats and cross cross in blue glide thread.

Scrappy Make it Modern

Recycle ♻️ 45*60 inch quilt top made from scraps! Pattern is Coriander Quilts (Corey Yoder) Make it Modern. This is the smaller size. The 1st layer cake I purchased (2023?) was leftover "Timber" by Sweetwater, then almost had enough cream check leftover from a lion face charity baby quilt for the bg, used the white layer cake for the corners. Rest is Art Gallery Fabric and Moda scraps. I backed it in 2nd hand cream cotton (listing said 1960s or 1970s). Bound in Art Gallery Fabric. I only used 1 layer of cotton flannel for the batting, usually I use 2, but the backing was slightly heavier cotton. I really like the outdoorsy colour combination.

These drag lines settle when the quilt is washed. The vintage cotton is excellent quality and I chose it as it had cream and green to match the front.

Scrappy Bright Quilt

No pattern, just cut to 2.5 inch. Quilt top sewn completely from scraps, mostly leftover from charity quilts, cut to 2.5 inch if the scrap isn't too large that I can use it for bag lining, and leftover Moda jelly rolls. I love these happy colours.  It's about 48 inch wide by 60 inch long. Binding is also leftover AGF quilt backing.

I don't want to hoard scraps but I kept these similar brights (Moda: Sweetwater, Bonnie & Camille, Sherri & Chelsea. Art Gallery Fabric) as they would make a large enough quilt one day! Also I separate my scraps into prewashed and new, because they have different shrink rates.  Quilting is white Gutermann front and back in serpentine stitch. Benartex sunflowers for the backing. Hobbs polydown wadding.






Tula Pink 100 Blocks Book

In April, I sewed 36 blocks from 1 layer cake. Moda Primitive Gatherings, Rustic Gatherings. I will probably sash them with white.

55x63 inch throw quilt for S, he wanted diamond quilting pattern so I went for crisps cross using the blocks and a ruler. Haven't finished burying all the thread ends but was running out of natural light. 

Border: Art Gallery Fabric. Sashing: white writing on white Benartex. Layer cake: Moda Primitive Gatherings. Backing and binding: Benartex. Quilting: straight stitch criss cross, Gutermann in white. Batting: Hobbs polydown, lightweight and fluffy. Book: Tula Pink 100 blocks (35 blocks). S modelling as it's tall.

On Point Dog Quilt

My 1st fat quarter bundle purchased 2024 leftovers. Made my dog a pet size On Point quilt using a YouTube tutorial (2 charm packs on point picnic quilt). Moda fat quarters bundle Stacy Iest Hsu ABCxyz. Quilting Serpentine stitch, Aurifil in yellow, Gutermann in tan. Binding Art Gallery Fabric. Backing Moda. Batting scrap/leftover Hobbs polydown pieced in 2, so batting didn't cost me anything! I've cut out another baby quilt, then I cut the remainder into 2.5 inch mini charms for when I next have coordinating scraps.



Remainder scrap quilt, also added Art Gallery Fabric and white on white.
