Attic Windows Quilt #1 from Magpie Quilts

I have a tradition with my grandkids that sometime in the year that they turn ten years old, they come and spend a few days with me and we create a quilt together. I love to spend time with each of them one on one and they get to learn what goes into making a quilt.

The granddaughter who made this quilt is a cat lover and she wanted a quilt with pictures of cats on it. So she collected cat photos that she liked from all over and then we printed them on printable fabric.

Then, we selected the ...

On the design wall... from ~ CowgirlQuilter ~

I got half of the shirt blocks up on the design wall.

I'm sure I will move some around before I start sewing them together. In the end it will be 84x96. Do you think it needs a sashing or just like this? I have a million men's shirts! I really need to put them to good use. I think I have 3 large totes full. A little thrift store in town has all you can fit in a trash bag for $6. I usually get all that I can find that are good quality which is around ...

Fabric Haul and Granddaughters... from ~ CowgirlQuilter ~

These two I ended up with 3 yards each. They were discounted to $3 yard.

One yard each of these just to add to the stash. They were also discounted ...

Hi, all!

1. Baste the two commission quilts.

2. Quilt the two commission quilts.

Done! Both of these are ready for delivery - hooray!! No more commission work until ...

Quilts for Kids from Magpie Quilts

Along with making quilts for my Etsy shop, I also have kids and grandkids to make quilts for. All the babies received a baby quilt when they were born. And when they outgrew the crib, they each get a quilt for their big beds. This dinosaur quilt was made for the 3rd grandson and he chose dinosaurs.

A panel is a pretty easy quilt to finish and I added a few borders until I had a decent sized quilt, added a Minky back and sent it to my friend Marie of Blueberry Hill Quilts for quilting.

It goes without saying ...
