Waiting to Be Quilted

Tumbling Blocks Quilt

This quilt was a block of the month for the year 2024 by Pink Door Fabric. This quilt was a real gift to me because in January I really wanted to make something and I didn’t have the space to make choices. This project gave me something to feel like I was making progress on without needing the pressure of choosing where all the fabric went in each part.

Pemberley EPP

I have a deep love for all things Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorites (Persuasion would be at the top). I found out there is a Pride and Prejudice themed quilt and I had to try. I decided to use my Alison Glass scraps since this quilt is full of small pieces.

Pineapple Quilt

In 2021, my sister asked me to make two quilts for her. We went and picked out fabric, and I cut up the background fabric to start the project. And then sister decided she wanted to do something else. So I had all the fabric cut to make this quilt. Then I made a math error and made waaaaay too many blocks for sister. So I finally made a quilt from the background fabric she didn’t use and the left over blocks. I also made sure to only use scraps for the extra blocks I needed to finish.

Chaos Quilt

In the process of digging around in my sewing space, I found SO MANY orphan blocks leftover from old projects or projects that I started, but wasn’t going to do finish. This project was a great learning experience. I’ve not ever worked without a pattern before and I usually only use fabric from the same designers. I named this gal the Chaos Quilt because of the process and the end result.

SI T-Shirt Quilt

I spent 6 years volunteering with teenagers, and the organization was really big on t-shirts for camps and for all sorts of events. I didn’t want to wear the shirts anymore, so I opted to put them into a quilt. I prepped the blocks ages ago, but then they just sat. Mostly because I really hate making t-shirt quilts. This quilt got caught up in my plan to clear out my quilting space in 2023. I have an old piece of canvas that was used to make a Schaconahoff flag for a Sandblast at one time, and I’m going to try to make that into the backing. We’ll see how it goes.

Cupcake Crossing

Here we have another quilt that falls into the “clearing out my stash category. It’s another bit that came in my sew sampler box. It’s tiny like less than 30 inches on the longest side. I’m thinking it’s going to spend its life as a doll quilt. I have backing and binding ready for this one, so perhaps I’ll end up quilting it soon.

UPDATE: I basically DNF’ed this quilt. I didn’t like it when it was all done and wasn’t motivated to quilt it. So I mailed it to my friend Sharon so she could practice her free motion quilting.

Tattoo Quilt

The year 2021 was the year of the block of the month. So I got to put together this beauty. I also managed to mis-read the pattern and trim my blocks to be too small and different sizes to I opted to add a border to the pattern.

Nebula Quilt

I finished by Nebula quilt and hung it up on the frame I use to create a background for my Zoom meetings. Then I got distracted by all the new quilts to piece and it’s still sitting there. I haven’t even taken a picture of it.

Witchy Quilt

I made a quilt top to be the background for my work in the month of October. It is HUGE. I’m pretty sure I’m avoiding trying to quilt it because basting it is going to be awful.
