Blue and Brown quilt.

This is a quilt I currently working on. I love the corduroy brown fabric and the purple is velvety soft. 
Not exactly traditional quilting fabric, but I'm thinking snuggly goodness. 







I would like to back it in a flannel and use a high loft batting. It's sure to become our favorite camping quilt. It's close to king size.

Figgy Pudding Quilt from Moda Bake Shop

The idea for this quilt came from the following link. I made mine larger than the original pattern. 






This was my first time to free motion quilt. The above pictures take you through the process. It was quilted with Warm and White and is about a queen size.



Denim Jean Rag Quilt

Denim Jean Rag Quilt
This jean quilt is one of the first quilts I ever made. I lived in the middle of no where at the time and wanted to sew. What could I sew with? OLD JEANS- I was inspired by my grandmother who always cut up grandpa's old farm jeans and turned them into quilts. We had one for years. It also had alternating blocks that were tropical birds!? YES, not kidding. We always made fun of that ugly old quilt. Yet it gave me the inspiration to make this creation. The quilt my grandmother made was stolen by a neighbor kid! Still makes me mad.
The white denim used in this was the Guess jeans I wore over 14 years ago the night I got engaged to my husband. I could never part with them. But I could chop them up and turn them into something to snuggle with. It's better than setting in a box.
The back is red fleece.
This is so warm and has built in remote control pockets! Perfect for winter nights watching movies. This is sure to be a family favorite, even though I had no idea what I was doing and it has tons of mistakes.

10 minute quilt block

This one is becoming a mess. I can't believe I forgot you can't jump around machine quilting. I have some serious stitches that have to come out!

My first Quilt


Can I really follow these directions?



It took me 6 hours to make all 12 blocks, but I did it.



Yay, a finished quilt top!

Square Rag Quilt

I found this very fun and cute rag quilt from CrazyMomQuilts.com.I just had to make it. You simply cut three different size squares and sew them right on top of each other. Absolutely no piecing!
Make lots and lots of squares. Mine are 9", 6" and 3".
Lay them all out in a random order.
Sew them all together!
