10 Quilts ~ 10 Days ~ Day 9

Some of my favorite things ...

bright fabrics, florals and scraps!

My finished wall quilt was posted here:

Clothworks Sunflowers Wall Quilt ~ Summer 2012

This was one of my first attempts at free motion quilting 

on my regular sewing machine. 

It was made with these Clothworks fabrics 

and their free pattern release for this line. 


I actually made two quilts with this pattern and fabric.

The smaller table/bedrunner quilt was made 

with the big cut-off triangles from the main pattern.

devised my own layout with the triangles and scrap fabric.


This is the ...

10 Quilts ~ 10 Days ~ Day 8

This is my 

Sundrops Jolly Bar Jazz Quilt

although it also lives on the back of my sofa for snuggling under on

cool spring and summer nights when the windows are open.

10 Quilts ~ 10 Days ~ Day 7 / My Snowman in the Window Quilt from Life in the Scrapatch



10 Quilts ~ 10 Days ~ Day 7

This is my

Snowman in the Window Quilt

I made this quilt after seeing one much like it on the internet that had no pattern resource. I loved the idea peeking out and seeing snowmen at my windows on a snowy black night, so I gathered my black and white scrap fabrics and I designed my own as I sewed and posted tutorials of all the steps on my blog in a free sew-along format. 


These blocks consist of a different snowman in each center

with log cabin type strips sewed around them.


When ...

10 Quilts ~ 10 Days ~ Day 6 ~ My Airmail Envelope Quilt from Life in the Scrapatch


This quilt was a gift and I posted it 

Quilt Blogger's Festival 2015 ~ Here

I designed this block and quilt with fabrics provided to me by

Bear Creek Quilting Company

and they posted the free tutorials on their blog.

All of the parts of this tutorial may be found on the

10 Quilts ~ 10 Days ~ Day 5 / Scrappy Saturday from Life in the Scrapatch

 


10 Quilts ~ 10 Days ~ Day 5

This is my

 Pink Scrappy Stripes & Curves Quilt


I started this quilt with a pile of scrap fat quarters, smaller scraps and leftover yardage from other quilts.


Then I made a pieced Improv Dresden block for the

Scrappy Fan Blade Block ~ Curves Challenge

In order to duplicate the original blocks,

I made my own templates to cut the curves for the rest of my blocks.



When it came time to set the blocks and design the top,

I used fabrics from my stash.

The background whites are scrappy, too.

There are pieces of four ...

I Like Thursday # 156 ~ 10 Quilts ~ Day 3 from Life in the Scrapatch


10 Quilts ~ 10 Days ~ Day 3

This is my

Batik Layer Cake Quilt for My Guy

It replaced an old worn out utility quilt made with scrap blocks 
and fabrics from an older batik quilt project. 
One day he brought the utility quilt that had been taken camping 
and lived in his car inside and it became his favorite indoor quilt. 
I repaired it a few times and he still has it 
but it is smaller and not as warm as this newer quilt.  
Now the kitties nest in the smaller quilt.

Today is also
