Sweet Escape Cot Quilt

I had some "Sweet Escape" blocks leftover, so thought I'd made a cot quilt using the same design.  It's very sweet.

"Lighthearted" fabric for the backing and Modern Loops for the quilting.

Before I went on my Elizabeth Hartman trip, I was making lots and lots of Sawtooth Stars for Thimble Blossoms' "Night Sky" quilt.  Using her "Shoreline" range for this quilt.

Might get back to them in a few weeks.

Sweet Escape

I've made Thimble Blossoms' "Sweet Escape" before but I was able to buy some more of the aqua/white check, so thought I'd make another.

Most of the fabrics are from Thimble Blossoms' "Sunday Stroll" and "One Fine Day" ranges with more from my stash added in.

The backing is a "One Fine Day" fabric and, again, I asked Karen to use Modern Loops for the quilting.

Some more Happy Halloween blocks:

Cats

Spiders

Stars

Witches/Warlocks

I changed two of the witch blocks into warlocks because the quilt is for a little boy.

Sewing Catch Up

 "Sweet Escape" is almost finished.

The backing is a lovely, bright "One Fine Day" fabric and I've used the off-cuts for the binding.

I asked Karen to use "Modern Loops".

Last year I bought a fq bundle of Tasha Noel's "Simply Country" fabric - such a beautiful collections of blues and white.  I also bought a bolt of the wideback fabric.

Wasn't sure what to make then decided on Thimble Blossoms' "Summerville" and so happy with how it's turned out.

"Modern Loops" for this quilt as well.

"Summerville" and "Sweet Escape" are both ready for the binding to be stitched down but I'm not doing this until I have finished embroidering some blocks for Daisy's quilt - I am the Queen of Procrastination.

I have a stack of quilts ready to send to Karen (after I stitch down the binding on the previous two quilts).

Rosemary:

I seemed to have a lot of aqua Thimble Blossoms and Bonnie & Camille fabrics in my stash and thought Thimble Blossoms' "Rosemary" would work well with these fabrics.

I have always loved the bow fabric from "Vintage Christmas", and bought lots of it when it was available, so am happy to use most of what I had left for the border.

Springville:

I had a few larger pieces of Thimble Blossoms' "Lighthearted" left over and wanted to use them to make "Springville".  Love making a quilt completely from my stash - I had to add quite a few pieces to finish off the quilt top.

The border fabric is from Bonnie and Camille's "Smitten" range - so pretty.

I have enough of the lovely "Lighthearted" backing fabric left to make a dress for Daisy in a year or two.

Rainbow Connection:

This year has been the year of making nine patch blocks.  "Rainbow Connection" is a Thimble Blossoms design made of nine patches.  I had enough of the aqua plaid fabric left over from "Sweet Escape" to make this quilt and the "Moda Love" cot quilt.

The quilt is made with mostly "Sunday Stroll" and "One Fine Day" fabrics with lots of other Bonnie & Camille and Thimble Blossoms fabrics from my scrap stash.

The backing is a lovely "Shine On" fabric.

Moda Love:

I had some aqua "Sweet Escape" blocks left after the quilt was together, so sewed up a few more and made a cot quilt top.

Our littlest sweetheart is growing up way too quickly.  She is such a delightful, happy little soul.

Recent Sewing

"Hello Sunshine" was cut out a few months ago and the top is mostly together.  I've been making one block per day and now need to add the borders (plain white).

All the blocks have been sewn for "Rainbow Connection"

and "Sweet Escape".

I cut out another "Jelly Girl" quilt - this one is scrappy in Figtree and Co fabrics

This quilt will be a birthday present for a dear friend later in the year.

"Jelly Girl" is on the way back from Karen

along with "Starlight".

I'm still sewing nine patches for the Tiny Nine Patch quilt and should start sewing some of those finished blocks in to quilt tops but I feel like starting something new.
