Baby Paw


This week was either wind and rain, or wind and cold or just wind. I have been chomping at the bit to get out and get some photos. Today it was sun and wind so I went out. I had moments when the quilt almost went into orbit but caught a few to share at least. 

This is a Baby Paw. I have a great nephew that this is going to even though he just turned one already. ( I actually have his big brothers quilt even though he will turn 4) I digress.... ha

I had a bunch of solid bright strips in various widths so went for it. 

59" x 59" approx. 
Quilted in a organic plaid fashion





I had the cutest "Latifah Saafir" jump rope print that was perfect for the back of this one. 

Off into the wild blue yonder...ha
I hope to get this to him before he turns 5!

Linking up with Kelly @ NTT over at My Quilt Infatuation and surprise she featured my scrappy rainbow Crazy Memories which was part of the Project Quilting challenge going on over at PersimonDreams.

What a happy quilt for a toddler. It can start with learning colors and as he grows he can read the text in the background. I have no doubt this will be well loved.

Are the colored strips in the top left corner a reference to the points on a Hudson Bay Blanket? The color and number of points told how much the blanket cost.

Around the Block Party!

Image
"Around the Block" party finish this week. 40 "x 40" approx.  My last week was so productive that I only have a small finish so far this week.  My lqg got together one afternoon to make improv house blocks. It was so much fun that I made a whole block party of them.  I was trying out an idea for a color challenge using a paint chip that has 3 colors. This one had an amber orange color, a chocolate brown and an aqua. I sort of mixed in some gold too but it was fun trying out a color scheme like this and I think it would be fun guild project.  I love how they turned out and and it has started some talk about doing some outreach work for Habitat for Humanity homes. These would be great to do and each house adds a bit of whimsy.  Linking up with Let's bee social @  Sew Fresh Quilts and NTT @  My Quilt Infatuation and Amanda Jean @  Crazy Mom Quilts  and Show off Saturday with  Sew Can She

WIP - End of Summer

Image
The weather lately means it is the end of summer. I still think my new quilt block quilt is pretty sizzling hot!  I love this block and how it came together. So far I added the corner stones and surrounding half stones. I really don't think I want a border on this but will use the orange or yellow for binding maybe. Still deciding. No idea how I am going to quilt around those jagged blocks yet either. Any ideas?  I have the back pieced and should try to get to it yet this week. Linking up with WIP Wed. @ Freshly Pieced and Let's Bee Social @ Sew Fresh Quilts and Needle and Thread Thursdays @ My Quilt Infatuation and I am the Participant Highlight today for A Lovely Year of Finishes @ SewBitterSweetDesigns and Fiber of All Sorts   yippee...go check it out!
