Weekend projects

Over the weekend I put together the extra blocks and made this little Pinwheel quilt.  Yes I love boring Pinwheels too.  And these went together so well.

 I have not quite decided if I want to add another border. 

It is only a table topper size, so I think adding one more border, maybe in red, would give it a little more dimension.

And I also came across these 4 1/2" floral blocks and put them together as well.

It's  not very big.  But it would make a cute doll quilt.  I ran out of blue and pink fabric, so I'm digging through the stash to see if I have anything that would frame this little quilt.

What did you work on this weekend??

Chevron Quilt

Here it is!! The Chevron quilt put together.

I think this type of quilt will look better without a border.

So now I have a question for YOU.  I had many HST left over, enough to probably make a little baby type quilt.  Here is what I would normally do with HST's. 

Nice boring Pinwheel.  But what happens if we cut the HST again.  Here are the possibilities.

So what do you think??  Which block design (whirlagig or ribbon) and color (scrappy or solid)  would you vote for??

Have you seen THIS post??  What a great way to support charities.  I have some partially completed tops, and orphan fabric that I will be packaging up and sending out to Margaret's Hope Chest.

How about you?  Can you lend a hand??

I recently watched a Youtube on making a Chevron quilt.  The demo was using a Layer Cake, but I thought I would try to make my own with 6" squares.

I picked out an assortment of fabrics.  Plus white background fabric.

Cut 6" strips and then again into 6" squares.

 

Pair up a white square with one of the color fabric squares.  Sew all the way around.

With your trusty rotary, cut the sewn square in an X.

Press your seams to the dark fabric.

 

 

Line up the Chevrons and start sewing the blocks together.

 

 

I will work on these blocks and see how large this quilt will turn out.  I cut two yards of white background, and various amounts of the red and blue.  

This looked like an easy and fun quilt to put together. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Happy Quilting!

Scrappy neighborhood

Finishing this quilt top was such a delight.  Even piecing the borders was a fun addition.  I really love how this Scrappy neighborhood turned out.

There is a little guy peeking from this window!

The pattern is in  McCalls Quilting October 2009

The original pattern is larger, but mine turned out to be about a twin size.  

woo-hoo, Welcome to the Neighborhood!  Happy Quilting!

Fall Quilts

I've been feeling a tad under the weather the last couple of days.  So there has not been much sewing or creating going on here.  But to whet your Fall appetite, I thought I would share some of my fall quilts.

Happy Quilting!

September sewing

September was National Sewing Month, and being so, I purposed to sew throughout the whole month.  I  missed a few days, but I was pleased to be able to make sewing one of my ongoing projects for the month.

Yesterday I determined that I would finish up the blocks for this Neighborhood Quilt.

I still have the to make the sashing and the borders, but I was happy to get each house completed by my own inposed deadline.

So these were the two quilts that made it through the month of September.

Did you reach any of your goals last month??
