Greg and Aurora's Wedding Quilt

It was only a year late but with a fairly quick wedding and sending Derek off to New Zealand I had to adjust the finished deadline to their first anniversary.  I tried my best to keep things only Japanese but know that a few "Chinese" fabrics snuck in, especially the backing.  Oh, well, we do the best we can :)

Deja Vu Quilt

After making Derek's college quilt, I had enough blocks leftover to make a lap quilt.

I decided that since it was a scrap quilt I would quilt it myself.  I really like this chevron fabric, but oh what a challenge to quilt.  Each row took about 15 min, with having to rotate the quilt every 1 1/2 inches.  

I was going to quilt on the blue stripe but the way the chevron met in the middle just made more sense for spacing to do the white.

I'm happy to have it done.  It's not my favorite mostly because I pulled my favorite block combinations for Derek's quilt and was left with my not favorites.  It will still be a great TV quilt.

Made this quilt for my friend's daughter's daughter.  I am having a lot of fun practicing my stippling.  I have a long way to go.  I made this quilt start to finish in one day minus the shopping for material.  It took most of my day but I was surprised I could get it 100 percent finished.

Eat Play Sleep Repeat Quilt

Made this quilt inspired by V and Co. on Moda Bake Shop  using fabrics from the wonderful Snappy Quilts.  Please ignore the wrinkles!

Kathryn's Quilt

Five or six years ago, when my daughter Kathryn was about 14 years old, we took a block of the month club class together. We each made the block for that month and then tucked them away and forgot about them. She got engaged in September and I decided it was time to do a wedding quilt for her. I combined our blocks minus two months worth that just didn't fit in and made her this quilt. Half the blocks were sewn by her and I hired someone to do the overall quilting. I really like how it turned out considering the selection of blocks and the fact that 6 years later you cannot find any of the fabric we originally used. It is huge. Turned out to be 98 x 120 inches! If you look closely, I picked a quilting pattern with very subtle hearts here and there. I gave it to her at her bridal shower. I hope she loves it!

Bibs

Here are the finished bibs. Sorry they're the first picture. Couldn't figure out how to move it.

This is my first attempt at free motion quilting. First try not so good. Second try a little better but I need to practice a lot.
These are the backs.
And folded to see both sides. I think you could call them reversible. I saw the tutorial over at Crazy Mom Quilts a couple of months ago and they had been on my list so today I tackled them. I love them and even went and bought fabric to make more. Thanks AmandaJean for the inspiration.

Project a Month?

Not too sure I want to try a project a month but if I did I guess I would say the aprons were December(I was helping my daughter, she's the one on the left), and the Christmas runner and placemats were January, with the pennies pockets in an earlier post for February.  We'll see how it goes.

Penny Pockets

Got the urge to sew.  Taking inspiration from Happy Zombie's post about pennies pockets I thought I would give it a try.
