What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Three quilts were finished in March.  On the left a flannel quilt, the top made 2 years ago.  It is 53" x 70".  In the center is Kaffe Strippy 2, the top was finished last December.  It is 47.5" x 71".  On the right is Floral Hourglasses, made with mostly 1990s floral fabrics in December 2024.  It is 53" x 64.5".  They were all quilted by Robin Diaz.

The other two are baby quilts to add to my selection for parents and grandparents to choose from.  In the center is a quilt made from a pile of blocks using leftovers from another quilt and a large print.  It is 32" x 34.5", perfect for tummy time for a baby.  On the right is ...

This one is all Kaffe collective fabric.  I was trying to use up some green triangles which I had overcut for a previous project.  It was fun adding the Brandon Mably plaid in this one ...

The finishes for August seem like so long ago because they were both at the beginning of the month.  The border barely shows on the quilt on the left against a white design wall.  It was made from 7 Martha Negley fabrics and I used my die cutter for all of the pieces.  It is 67" x 83.5". 

On the right is Australian Bars, all Australian/Aboriginal fabrics.  It is 50" x 71".

It was a big month for quilt tops, more than I thought I would finish.  On the left is a 16 patch made with many lines ...

I quilted the flannel baby quilt on the right.  The squares were sewn together last year, so on this one I added the border ...

In the center is a quilt spanning about 20 years for all of the parts to finally come together and be a cute baby quilt.  It is 35" x 44".

The baby quilt at the right is 34.5" x 45" and was cut with the Bow Tie quilt block dies.  The fabrics are all Kaffe Fassett collective except the flannel backing and ...

It is 61.5" x 76".  It has 6" and 4" Bow Tie blocks in it.

The other 2 finishes are made with Tilda fabrics.  I searched online for pieces from older lines to add to the newer lines that were available.  I had some green prints too but chose to only use the soft reds, roses, and blues in these 2 quilts.  The one in the center is a free pattern on the Tilda website, Whimsy, and I chose it because it had larger pieces ...

On the right, Kaffe Blue Pinwheels is 59" x 72".  It is the 4th quilt made with 6" triangles of Kaffe Fassett Collective fabrics.  The others were pink/blue, pink/green and pink/gray. all ...

The neutral color batik 16 patch is 71" x 93", the last of my big quilts to be quilted.  I still have a smaller top made from the same group of blocks that will be quilted this year.

The pink/blue triangle quilt is 47" x 59" and I'll put it with the stack of baby quilts. Kaffe Fassett and Tula Pink fabrics.

The last one reminds me of rows of fences.  It ...

Kaffe Blue Pinwheels is 60" x 72".  These were the leftover triangles from the pink/blue triangle quilt.  I guess I cut a few too many for one project.

The butterfly baby quilt top is 35 "x 45".  I think I made those blocks about 20 years ago, maybe a couple years before that.  They were probably started to promote the book that the patterns were in.  It's publication date is 1993 and that is over ...

The one on the right is Kaffe Fassett collective and Tula Pink fabrics.  I love pink and green together.  It is 59" x 82".

I have 28 finished quilts so far this year.

Fonthill, my interpretation of a Kaffe quilt by the same name, is 62.5" x 75".  The top was finished in July 2023. It is at least half batik fabrics in the 2" triangles, and a mix of lots of other print fabrics.  Many are Kaffe collective fabrics.

The Square Within, Karla Alexander's name for the original quilt, is 51" x 73".  Kaffe collective and Martha Negley fabric.  The top was completed in ...

This quilt is 36.5" x 66" and has Hobbs 80/20 batting in it.
