3x6 Q3 Hive 8

I got my blocks done & shipped! 

They were super fun to make. Lots of great color combos to play with and to top it off I was able to use my stash for all 7 blocks. 99.5% of the colored prints were from the 3x6 bee fabric swaps.

Can't wait til all mine come in.

 My inspiration this quarter was a boy sampler in Blue, Green, yellow on black, 

I am seeing the Sky, the Grass & Bumble Bees. :)

Bugs in a jar

Not quite ~
More like fruits & veggies in a jar.

 When we were in WA I was lucky enough to have a quilt shop in our town, while on my many trips in I picked up a charm pack of fruits & veggies along with the pattern Bug Jar Quilt #238 Gee Gee's Quilting Inc. the pattern includes 2 sizes.

Finally a year or more later I worked this up.

I did add in an extra border to make it bigger. It would be great as a play-mat ISpy style or a fun wall hanging or heck why not a stroller/car-seat/baby lap quilt.

I did bind with the back again as well as label the binding- both tutorials from Sew BitterSweet Designs.

Sassy Zig Zag

Just finished up my first Zig Zag Quilt-

I've been looking and searching and oohing and aawhing over all the ones lots of great quilters have done and I finally just went for it.

I used a charm pack of Sassy by Sandy Gervais for Moda

At first I was not going to have a solid in-between the prints.

 Once it was laid out it was a bit small.

I had enough yellow on hand so I added it in, 

I got to play on my new design wall with this one :)

(so easy, I picked up a white flannel backed table cloth and pinned it to the only blank wall left in the sewing room)

I played with a printed backing this time, while using the back as the binding again,

 so I keep to 'stitch in the ditch' as the quilting.

All done! 

Perfect for a baby girl gift.

Crib Quilt

Just finished this cute little quilt, its small but perfect for a car seat/stroller/crib topper. 

Pattern is Sleepy Jean Crib Quilt

 

I worked it up in Reunion by Sweetwater for Moda

 I followed a couple great tutorials for this little guy

Melissa @ SewBitterSweetDesigns showed how to bind a quilt with its backing

 and a neat way on how to label your quilt on its binding
