Safari Quilt

Take a couple small pieces of fabric that you can't stand to throw out combined with an urge to organize and minimize that sewing "mess" and what do you get?



Here's a peek at some of the individual blocks:





Even the back features a safari theme.

Hearts and Arrows, a Doll Quilt

With a bunch of leftover hearts and leftover red scraps, we put together this quilt for a little girl to pack around or wrap up her dolly (or was it doggy?).

Crazy Patch Quilt for a Baby Girl

S loves crazy patchwork so what better choice for a baby quilt for a friend. Instead of an overall patchwork pattern, we chose to make and piece together blocks. As a child, this friend loved strawberry shortcake. We happened to have a piece in our stash and it became the back.

Aug's Quilt -- Amish

One of the best things about moving to the greater Seattle area? I could join a quilt guild. My second month, I turned in blocks for the block of the month and won! The pattern was an Amish-inspired block. I added a bunch more squares and turned it into a quilt for one of the kids. It also features my first attempt at machine quilting. I learned many things like squaring your quilt is important and using a sheet for a back just doesn't work. The end result though was wonderful. Here it is and a close up of a bit of the quilting.

Have you ever taken part in a group project like a round robin, brown bag or block of the month?
