Kids Place Mats and Snack Mat

 

Had a little bit of border print left over from a previous kids quilt I made.  Added pieces to the top and bottom of the placemat and I now have placemats for my girls.  And a snack mat.  A few more scraps used up!  

Wall hanging turned throw quilt

 

This used to be a wall hanging.  But I no longer wanted it on the wall and was wondering what to do with it.  So I added some borders and made it into a throw quilt.  As you can see, it is also kitty approved :)  Size is 55 x 65".   Trying to clear up some things in my stash.

Dolls

 

My grand daughter Cambria wanted me to sew her a doll.  This was made from the Josephine Doll pattern on Pinterest.  They are small, approx 8", so we filled them with rice instead of batting.  That was Cambria's idea - smart kid.  She also picked out the fabric she wanted to use for each of the parts - hence the orange face and blue and pink hair LOL.  I was not pleased with how these turned out - but Cambria loved them.  The pink haired one for her and the blue haired one for her sister Lilly.

Updated Log Cabin Scrappy QAYG

 This is an updated quilt.  I made the original one last summer and it was 5 x 6 blocks.  Was made for my friend Sue for her loveseat.  Well, she no longer has the love seat but loved the quilt and wanted it made bigger for her new couch.  So that is what I did.  Made an extra 4 x 5 blocks.  Had to wash when done so it would match up with the older portion of the quilt.  Was easier than I though.  You can notice where I joined the two quilts, but only if you look closely at it.  So the quilt is now 5 x 10.

Spring has Sprung

 

Finished yet another king size quilt for the bed.  Almost have enough for a different one every month!  This is 95 x 95" with a blue and white background.  Lori from The Quilt Studio quilted it.  Was flowers and bumble bees, but the bumble bees don't really look like one.  Oh well, it is still quilted beautifully!

Not very impressed personally with this one though.  Pattern is boring on a quilt this big and the colors aren't as impressive as I hoped.  This will be the last king size quilt I make for quite some time.  Just have too many for the bed.

Twirly Tops

 

Not even going to guess how long I had the tops of these in my stash LOL.  I put the purple borders on to make them large enough to cover the tops of our night tables.  Turned out real good.  At least I could use these once I finished them.  Tried something different for the binding.  Cut the back fabric one inch larger than the top.  Then folded it over twice to make the binding.  I like the result, but the corners still did not turn out any better than the regular way.  

Quilt Sayings

 

Another one where I had the top done for a couple of years.  Put a purple minky type backing on it.  Size is 55 x 62, which is a great size for a throw quilt.  The white centers all contain different quilt sayings.  Used up some more of my 2 1/2" batik strips to put around the sayings.  Strip basket is getting smaller but still quilt a few to go through.  Not sure if I will keep this throw to myself or give it to one of my quilting friends. 

I have run out of things to quilt.  Guess this pandemic has gone on long enough if that is the case LOL.  If I make more quilts, I really don't have any use for them.  And don't have anyone else to give them too.  My stash has gone down, but still too much fabric left :(  Trying to think of other things I can do with the fabric but haven't come up with anything to make that I could use.  No sense making things to try and sell as that has never worked in the past for me.  

 

Shadow Throw

 

Had the top done for a couple of years - finally put a fleece back on it.  Size is 42 x 60.  I was going to put some extra borders on to make it larger but forgot.  And once I put the backing on and quilted it, it was too late.  Oh well.  Still a fair size for a throw quilt.  The squares were a Laura Burtch charm back.  (5 " squares).  Love the bright colors, but of course, those are my favorites.  Going to put some of the older throw quilts that I have had around for many years in the trailer and use these newer ones in the house.  Good to change them up once in a while!
