What a terrible week I had! Just because I ran out of cotton batting. While I worked on this quilt my only thought was: "I ruined this quilt, I ruined this quilt!" . So I started hating the quilt instead of hating me that I did not wait with this quilt until I have the batting I wanted. 143 cubes, 75"x87" the final size. Pictures of the quilt top I wanted to quilt the blocks with … [Read more...]
Memories…
... from years ago.8 years ago I made this quilt for my nephew Dragos for his 13 birthday. Tomorrow he is turning 21 and he needs a new quilt. Until Alex's birth he was the youngest of our nephews and we have always spoiled him- he was the first in the family who had a bed quilt. This was my 2003-quilting style! At the time I was a big fan of batiks. The quilt was washed many times, the colors … [Read more...]
Simple Quilt Finished
Quilting done since Friday! Delivered to the 7-year little boy - he was more interested in playing with the two cats! But his mother was in love! Here is, made in 3 days and washed twice (because Alex wanted to try it too). I am in love now with simple fabrics, simple patterns and SIMPLE quilting. Straight lines done with free motion - I did not struggle to keep the lines … [Read more...]
In love with white too
Isn't white the best color? Even if you have only a few pieces cut on bias? That is why I have so narrow sashing. Very happy how it turned out... That special boy will leave the country in a few days so I would better go to quilt it! … [Read more...]
2 in 1 quilt
So, this is my quilt of (too) many colors! You can see here 9 rows, the top has 13 rows. - 90"x90" ( what size is this ? I made it 10" wider that I planned!); - 163 blocks; - It was a challenge to make it! All the steps in making this pattern are time consuming and cutting the triangles from strips and pressing are the most annoying ones. I pieced the top in vertical rows … [Read more...]
Jewel Box Quilt Finished
I am so happy I finished an UFO. Many others are still waiting.... The quilting ? Nothing fancy - quick and simple. I made it for my mother. She already saw it (and she loves it) but she thinks it is mine. I still have to add the binding then I will lay it on her bed and I will be prepared to listen that she loves it very much but she really, really doesn't need a new quilt. But … [Read more...]
Quilt Top Finished
Here is the top of my new quilt. I would have loved to add some pieced borders (because it is a little shorter) but I ran out of tan fabric. I was a little nervous while I pieced the blocks because I did not know how all these colors work together but I think the tan fabric tie them wonderfully! I love it ! Sure I would have loved it even more with white fabric instead of tan. But I … [Read more...]
3D-Pinwheel Quilt
Here is the 3D-pinwheel quilt finished. I made it for Alexa, the 7 year old little girl of a special friends. I am always so happy to make quilted gifts for her - it was the time for a new quilt. It was such an easy and quick quilt to make, maybe because it measures only 62x86? The piecing needed a few tricks because of the bulky seams but the only step that bored me was pressing the … [Read more...]
Inspired by a Baby Boy
I am happy and excited to share with you my latest quilt! I enjoyed so much working on it - no wonder- I made it for Alex, my 8-month-old nephew. He can't yet build himself little castles from wooden blocks, so here are the 12 little castles I built for him. I started cutting and piecing the blocks thinking that this step will take me forever because all the blocks are different and … [Read more...]
Jewel Box Quilt
I finished piecing the top ! The quilt measures 65'' x 80'', the size I need.I love so much this pattern, it was one of the first ones I saw on Internet when I started quilting, 10 years ago, and I always wanted to make one.Then later I saw Eleanor Burns in a show using this pattern for making 3 quilts: a king size quilt, a wall hanging and a miniature and I fell in love again. A few weeks ago I … [Read more...]
