Ombre Strip Square Lap Quilt | Finished or Not Friday Linky Party! from Busy Hands Quilts

Welcome to Finished or Not Friday where you can share your finished {or not} projects!

My Finish is an Ombre Strip Square Lap Quilt! There's nothing like selling a made-to-order quilt to bump a quilt to the top of the list!

The beauty of the quilt is simply that ombre fabric is spectacular!

This quilt is made from the kit available on Craftsy. The quilt kit actually made many more blocks than are called for in the pattern by adding in a binding fabric. The quilt increased by 11" both directions with an additional six blocks leftover. The fabric ...

Bee Hive Lap Quilt | Poolside Wall Hanging | Finished or Not Friday Linky Party | GIVEAWAY! from Busy Hands Quilts

Welcome to Finished or Not Friday where you can share your finished {or not} projects!

Today I have two finishes to share with you! The first is a Bee Hive lap quilt, made from the May 2018 Sew Sampler Box.

The Sew Sampler Box came with a jolly bar of Pepper and Flax fabric. I made more blocks than the pattern called for and added background fabric and a border to bring the quilt to a really nice lap size.

I found a Riley Blake print in my stash that coordinates perfectly with Pepper and Flax. Unfortunately, I forgot to ...

Poolside Wall Hanging in Island Batiks from Busy Hands Quilts

July's assignment for Island Batik Ambassadors was to make a quilt with a secondary design. I love designs that are created with chains of squares, so it was an easy decision to make a wall hanging in Poolside, a new pattern by The Flemings Nine.

This quilt is made mostly from Rise and Shine with a couple of pinks tossed in to complete the rainbow. The background is Island Batik black. You will find Island Batik fabrics over here.

The blocks went together fairly quickly even with that cutout you see in the chain of squares. By pressing to ...

Baby Postcard From Sweden Quilt | Finished or Not Friday Linky Party! from Busy Hands Quilts

Welcome to Finished or Not Friday where you can share your finished {or not} projects!

My Finish is a baby Postcard From Sweden quilt! Do you remember the Postcard Quilt Along that Sandra over at MMM Quilts hosted? Me too. Mmm hmm. The one ended three months ago. Better finished late than never!

This quilt is made with blocks leftover from previous Postcard From Sweden quilts I've made, so the placement of the blocks doesn't match the pattern exactly, but I did try to reproduce the general transition of colors shown in the original quilt.

Meet Card Trick - My First Pattern Designed for Craftsy! from Busy Hands Quilts

Introducing Card Trick - some of my secret sauce quilt designing from last November! The quilt kit is now live at Craftsy!

Card Trick is designed to make great use of a layer cake for all of the blocks and the outer pieced border, adding in background fabric and one border fabric. This design should be showing up in other fabric collections at Craftsy in the future. This quilt was made by a Craftsy quilter, not by me.

You likely know that there is a lot of preplanning that goes into fabric collections and corresponding quilt kits before they are officially ...

Here's My Heart Baby Quilt | Finished or Not Friday Linky Party | How to Get a Free Craftsy Quilt Kit! from Busy Hands Quilts

Welcome to Finished or Not Friday where you can share your finished {or not} projects!

My Finish is a Here's My Heart baby quilt. It's an easy patchwork pattern jazzed up with the cutest hearts!

The pattern uses two colors of hearts, but I switched it to a rainbow in ombre fabric. I also added an extra row of small squares to both sides and omitted a row of large squares from the bottom in order to make best use of the backing piece I had.

Almost all of the gray prints are from Simply Color and other ...

Bloomin Quilt-As-You-Go Pillow in Island Batiks! from Busy Hands Quilts

May's challenge for Island Batik Ambassadors is a pillow. I made a quilt-as-you-go Bloomin' pillow.

You will find the Bloomin' QAYG Pillow Tutorial over here. The backing is a simple envelope enclosure in a light blue Basic Foundation. I enjoyed the process very much and will likely use it again with scraps. Having a longarm machine makes it nearly impossible for me to make a large quilt in the QAYG method, but I can see making pillows, placemats, or table runners in this manner.

As an Island Batik Ambassador, I am provided fabric for projects. This fabric is from ...
