Stacks of Colour

 

This was a bassinet-quilt finish in early 2020 - and it had been hanging on our bedroom wall every since (when I took it down recently to swap it, I realised I had never shared it here).

It is a 'stack of coins' style bassinet quilt that measures 19.5" x 21".

It was created with leftovers from this large quilt and I used a variegated thread to do an all-over large stipple for the quilting.

I used this cool cat print for the backing...had been holding it in my stash for a while and decided it was time to let it go!

Will be donated to the NNU at Southland Hospital.

Freya's Flight of Fancy

 

Catching up on a back-log of unshared finishes!

This large lap quilt was finished in 2021 and I finally got around to gifting it (to our great-niece, Freya) in January of this year (I could say I'm six months early for her 2nd birthday...)

The design was loosely based on this 1 + 2 quilt pattern by Anorina that I have used before - it is a good one for highlighting feature prints.

It was made with a cute set of fat quarters of prints from Spotlight that I had been holding in my stash for a while, supplemented with pinks and blues (solids, polka dots, roses) from my stash.

I just adore all the unicorns, teddy bears, hot air balloons and rainbows!

(The photos aren't great as I had to take many of them inside due to the weather/outside light being so uncooperative whenever I was actually home long enough to want to do a photo-shoot).

You can see the loopy quilting I did in the frames of the squares; within the squares I free motioned a loose diamond with curvy links between points/corners.

I used the leftovers, plus another cloud print, for the backing, and a black/white polka dot for the binding.

Am pleased to say Freya was super excited to open the parcel when it arrived...the video was super cute!

A Little Bit of Sweet

I used the Fat Quarter Shop free pattern ' Mini Charm Chocolates'

This cot quilt version was made with a mini charm pack that I had in my stash - some of the fabrics have a metallic thread running through them for a bit of sparkle.

This quilt measures 29" x 36" and I used some diagonal line quilting in the charm squares, then stretched loops in the sashing, with a simple vine in the border.

The backing is a flannel from my stash.
