Blueberry Charm from Becca's Crazy Projects

I finally loaded up this simple quilt. Winter lighting is just terrible for photos.

I chose a flower and leaf all-over design for the quilting.

I think it was a great choice for this quilt. This was the first time I used Hobbs 80/20 Cotton Blend Batting and I'm so glad I gave it a try. The texture is great! Good thing, too, since I bought the whole roll.

Trimmed and ready for binding.

100 Blocks 100 Days Finish from Becca's Crazy Projects

I grabbed my scrappy binding and got stitching.

I love all the little details in this quilt. Look at that little skeleton!

I used almost 30 feet of binding and I didn't even make a dent in that bin of leftover binding.

This was my all-time favorite sampler quilt. Just a great project.

Check out the great images folks are sharing on Instagram under #100days100blocks2021. Newly finished quilts are showing up so you can see how people are putting these blocks together.

Crazy Week from Becca's Crazy Projects

This week has been a little crazy. Not bad. Just not as productive as I wanted it to be.

As a demonstration, here is what my cutting table looked like at bedtime on Tuesday. Hopefully I will have something more substantial to share on Friday. Enjoy the rest of your week!

100 Blocks 100 Days from Becca's Crazy Projects

I finished my blocks in October 2021.

I managed to get the blocks arranged and sewn up in March 2022. These things don't happen quickly. I added a 3" border to frame those 100 blocks.

I even pieced the backing, because that's how scrappy quilts can be.

For binding, I dug into my bin of leftover binding. Yes, this is a thing some quilters have. Mine never gets enough love. There are so many leftover pieces. I need to come up with another good scrappy idea to use some more of it up.

I spend a bunch of ...

Change is Hard (work) from Becca's Crazy Projects

The opportunity to buy another long arm from another member of the quilt community came up and I had to jump. Ever since I took a class at Virginia Longarm I've known the Innova is the machine I wanted.

We disassembled it, loaded it into the truck, and brought it home. After disassembling my Empress, we put all the pieces into the same space and I got to assembling.

This frame is slightly larger than my old one. The Empress frame maxes out at 10 feet, this one is 11 feet long.

Sometimes assembly was slow-going. Like when I ...

Charmaine's Tumbler Baby Quilts x 7 from Crayon Box Quilt Studio

My customer Charmaine has been busy again, creating a mountain of baby quilt tops and of course I had the pleasure recently of quilting them for her.

They were all her usual I Spy Tumbler design and they include such a huge variety of prints.

Since the tops are so busy, we pick a panto design that's not too detailed.

For this stack of tops, we chose the Fascination panto. Quilters Dream 80/20 batting was used for all.

She always provides soft flannel backings that are so snugly.

The last quilt was actually for her grandson. Evidently he ...

Susan's Sailboats Quilt from Crayon Box Quilt Studio

My friend Susan worked on this adorable sailboat quilt for quite a while. I'd hear about it when she brought me other tops to quilt for her. I was looking forward to seeing it when it finally came my way for it's finishing touch.

I was excited when she called to book it on my schedule. This is the "before" quilting photo.

In process.

She made this quilt for the daughter and son-in-law who own a sailboat. Isn't it fabulous!

The Waterworld panto was her design choice. It adds the perfect feel for the pieced blocks. The ...

Susan's Vintage Truck Hunter's Star Quilt from Crayon Box Quilt Studio

My friend Susan also made herself a Hunter's Star quilt featuring adorable vintage trucks.

While the piecing is certainly great...

...it's the actual quilting that brings the whole thing to life.

This is what it looked like before I started. It's a pretty top but it's flat and needs it's own type of bling, thread stitched in a fabulous design.

Here it is after the stitching was finished. It definitely has a lot more character.

Whether it's an edge to edge design, custom quilting or hand quilting, every quilt top needs the stitching to ...

Pink and Brown Rail Fence Quilt for Guild from Crayon Box Quilt Studio

This is the Pink and Brown Rail Fence quilt that I stitched up for my guild's Comfort Quilt program.

The before picture (when I remember to take one) is always a great way to see just how much more the quilting adds to the top.

The stitching brings the whole thing to life.

The fun part of doing charity quilts is that I get to pick the design I use and for this one I chose the Cascade panto. Glide thread in Pink Lemonade was used on the top and So Fine 402 Pearl was used on the back ...

Charmaine's Pink and Gray Single Irish Chain Baby Quilts from Crayon Box Quilt Studio

My customer Charmaine regularly brings me baby quilts to complete, usually 2-3 at a time. This time it was 2 simple Simple Irish Chain/Nine Patch quilts in Pink and Gray.

The first one was a lighter Pink.

And the 2nd one was much more of a Hot Pink.

She brought me one long backing and batting for both so I was able to load the 2nd one right after the first.

The outside lighting was a bit off that day so these pictures don't show their true colors but they turned out adorable.

The quilting just finishes off ...
