My Raw Edge Circle Quilt

I found the raw edge circle quilt on CluckCluckSew's blog. I think this quilt is adorable. It looks complicated but it is really easy. I had other projects I was working on when I found it, but was determined to come back to it. I had all the 1930s circa prints and found the darling fabric for the back on clearance at my local quilt shop. I'm really happy with how it turned out!

My Polka Dot Quilt

I saw a quilt similiar to this one on an online craft community. Simply adorable. I bought the background fabric at JoAnn's Fabric. What is great about it is that it's a dotted swiss that is 60 inches wide. I had collected a lot of dot fabrics and thought they would work just perfectly for this. I cut circles of different sizes using different objects around the house as templates. I hand appliqued them on in a random order. No plan, just put them anywhere I thought they looked right. I pieced the back and sandwiched them together with the batting. I hand quilted around the circles in kind of a shadow quilting design. Then I pieced the binding and added it to the quilt. I think it turned out really cute. My oldest daughter, Amy is trying to con me out of this one. Of course, Kaitlyn loves it, too. Haven't decided what I'll do with it. For now just admire it.

My Wonky House Quilt

This quilt is a collaboration of blocks from a swap I was in. All blocks except one were made by quilting friends from my Craftser.org I had asked everyone to make 12 1/2 in. wonky house blocks made from bright fabrics with white backgrounds so they would all be cohesive. I think it turned out great. Each one of them is absolutely perfect. I can't decide on a favorite. I think it is which ever one I am focused on at the moment.

My question is what is the best way to quilt this. Any ideas?

Allie's stroller quilt

Allie needed a stroller quilt. Regular quilts are just too big for the stroller or the car seat. This one is the perfect size. It's about 27 x 27, give or take an inch. I made it from a snippets charm pack and backed it with pink chenille. No need to add batting, because the chenille is just thick enough. I added rickrack to the edges. I love it!

Of course, Misty likes it so much, she wants me to make one for Julianne. I think I'll make it from Moda's Love U.

Ava meets her baby sister, Allie for the first time!

We were blessed with grandbaby number six on February 2. Unlike most of the other grandbabies, Allie decided to wait til she was full term to arrive. My daughter, Amy allowed me to be in the delivery room when the baby was born. She did amazing. Amy was at the hospital less than two hours when Allie arrived. And she let me cut the cord. Allie was also Amy's biggest baby at 7 lbs. 11 oz. She is perfect!

Ticker Tape Quilt

After the wash.

I was looking at some of these quilts on other blogs and flicker and loved the idea of the quilt being almost finished after the scraps are stitched on. Because you sew through the top fabric, batting and backing while you apply the scraps, the only thing left to do is to bind it. It's such a girly quilt. I think I'm going to hang it in Ava and Allie's new bedroom.

Kaitlyn's Whirly Giggle Quilt

I promised Kaitlyn a new lap quilt that would look good in her new bedroom. She's getting a new bedroom so Ava and Allie can share a room and Kaitlyn can have a room of her own. So for Kaitlyn to get her new room, Kody had to have a room added in the basement. Kody moved into his new room last weekend. Now Kaitlyn's new room needs to be painted so she can move into it. She loves polka dots so all the fabric I used in this quilt have dots. I love the way it turned out and so did she. I added buttons to the middle of each "giggle".
