Fallon's Christmas Blanket

Pet / baby quilt. I made a 48 by 48 quilt from 2 Benartex Christmas jelly rolls - geometric prints only. The red stripe looks like peppermints I used prewashed cotton flannel as batting for this.

No pattern needed for this as it's just jelly rolls strip pieced into 6, I chose dark light dark. Then cut at 6.5inch. 

The blue swirl is Timeless Treasures (remnant) and the backing is an old Cotton & Steel I purchased close, I only had 1 metre so I pieced it with leftover blocks and strips.

Rail Fence Quilt

The lighting was low today, but Mr W (modelling) took me to the lake. Will try to photo again as the colours look muddy rather than gentle. I designed this pattern myself using rail fence technique, 2nd hand yardage and Moda scrap bags! The only stash fabric is the leaf print side borders as I used all the vine print. I didn't have enough of the vine print, so added corner blocks leftover from piecing! It's approx 53 x 65 inch. 

Binding is Art Gallery Fabric and the backin
g is 2 beige prints pieces together (Camelot, Benartex). 1/2 metre vines, 1/2 metre pale olive vine, 1/4 metre inner border diamonds Edyta Sitar Andover purchased 2nd hand. Moda scrap bags are slow stroll and storybook Fancy That Design House. Side borders Windham fabric. All the white jelly rolls leftover from Eunha's quilt. Cream Aurifil thread serpentine stitched seams.

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.
