Baby quilt for melissa #3

 My sister Melissa had her 3rd baby! 


Because of the Pandemic I was unable to take this up to her and deliver it to her (or take photos) 

Little Harold was born Nov 16th and I mailed this quilt to them the same day. But I had it ready already. 


It started back in late 2018. My friend MC wanted to design a quilt and us do it as a mystery quilt. She was hoping for a tessellating pattern. 

I started with this plane fabric

found some to go with it!

turned out pretty cute

It was too cute to just give away to anyone, so I wanted to keep it for Melissa if and when she had another baby. In fact I kept both a boy and girl quilt just in case. She doesnt find out the gender while pregnant so I had to wait for Harold to be born before mailing it so I knew which one to send!


a bit wrinkled from being folded for almost 2 years





isnt he cute!


and his siblings love him!

A quilt for Andrea's 'new' apartment



So long story short: My friend Andrea's apartment building had a fire in it. 

anywho- her quilt from me years and years ago was one of the things that needed to be thrown out. 

She needed a new quilt then. And my skills have gotten much better!!

so here is what I did. 

Pinwheel blocks


sew on triangle to make the snowball block. make extra sewing line to create a bonus block

bonus half square triangles!!

with the squares on but not pressed- like a snowball

pressed

now to do the white ones!

  


Because I didn't have room to lay this out i had to do it all on paper and match them up




you can see the hourglass shape



ready to head to the quilters- it got bigger than i had thought!! lol

  

  
 
with fun quilting!




bound and ready to go


backing
 



front- you cant even tell there is winter princesses on it!

labeled!
