For a new little boy...

I did this one this past week.  Hub's cousin just had another grandson...so a quilt was in order!

This one also used fabrics from (gasp) my stash.  All the prints in here were used in 2 quilts I made for my granddude, Grant.  I just love the bright primary colors.

The design is Fishing Net by Suzy Quilts.  This baby size is 35" x 39".

I love the little caterpillars on the backing fabric.

I did all the quilting with the Dual Feed (aka...walking foot) that's attached to my Bernina sewing machine.  I love the straight, precise, quilting with this design.

Christmas Quilt

I finally made a 'couch quilt' for my daughter, Kendra.  I used some of the same fabrics as the one I made several years ago for her hubs, along with some leftover from Marshall's quilt I finished last summer.  

This was another quick project.   Since there was absolutely NO matching of seams involved, I zipped right through the piecing.  It was also quick to do the FMQ.  I worked 1/2 (3 long panels) at a time.  Personally, I think I did a bit toooooo much quilting on it, but that's just me.


 Here you can really see the dense quilting.

 All spread out on my couch before I wrapped it.

And...there was enough for a pillow case, too.

I have (for ME) the exact same quilt design cut out and strips (somewhat) pieced...just needs subcut and pieced into strips.  I just couldn't bring myself to FMQ the exact same thing right away!  I actually had mine cut/started first, but put it away to make this for Kendra's Christmas present.
