My most recent quilt – a pink and teal Maypole Quilt! I’ve made this pattern once before in a baby size for my niece but this was my first time making a throw sized one. I had a hard time picking the fabric out for this one but when I laid eyes on the teal […]

Tilt-a-Whirl Quilt – A Long Time Coming but Finally Done!
Many years after purchasing this pattern and buying all the fabric for it I FINALLY got around to making the Tilt-a-Whirl quilt! This was a fun learning experience for me as it was my first fully machine-quilted quilt. I’m proud of how it turned out!
Hudson’s quilt
Hudson’s quilt is finished! This stack of fabric has turned in to this beautiful baby quilt. Sigh. I love it so much. When I first started thinking about Hudson’t quilt I (of course) turned to Pinterest for inspiration. I looked at tons and tons of baby quilts and just quilts in general, but I kept […]
my very first quilt
Thanks to the Craftsy Block of the Month class, I learned how to quilt this year. Thursday night I finished my very first quilt! I am so very proud of myself! I’ve always wanted to learn how to quilt like my Mema and now I have. I blogged about each block as I got them […]
October block of the month
I’ve finished my October blocks of the month…which means I’m finished with all the blocks for my very first quilt! I’m so proud! This month we learned how to do paper piecing. Once I’d done one section and got the hang of it, it turned out to be so easy! I loved it! Paper piecing […]
September blocks of the month
Another month, another set of quilt blocks. This month in my Craftsy Block of the Month class we learned how to do curved piecing using the Drunkard’s Path templates. When I first started trying to pin and sew these pieces together, I got super frustrated. In fact, after I botched the first one, I had […]
August block of the month
After a weekend full of canning tomatoes, tomato sauce, and green beans, I had a bit of a break yesterday and got to spend my Sunday afternoon working on my quilt. I completed my August quilt blocks and, as with every month, I’m already wishing I knew what September’s would be so I could get […]
July block of the month
The July blocks were so fun and so easy to do! I love how they turned out. This month we learned how to do Dresden blocks and made a traditional block and a modern block (although I think the traditional one looked more modern and the modern one looked more traditional…) This was pretty fun […]
June block of the month
After the super fun Wonky Log Cabin block from last month, the June blocks just weren’t quite as exciting. However, they were easy and pretty cute. This month’s “theme” was to learn 9-patch blocks…which are basically just 9 squares sewn together to make the quilt block. We really didn’t learn anything new, though, we just […]
May block of the month
Another month, another two quilt blocks. I am LOVING this block of the month class! The only problem is that each month when we learn a new technique, I want to make a whole quilt just out of that type of block…and now I have several quilts floating around in my mind that I want […]
