Baby Union Jack

I did this quilt off a quilt blog I found online. I did a few alterations to try and make it look more authentic. And had a few miss cuts that messed some of that up. oopps! For parents that love all things British, and had a "super hero" theme for the baby's room, it was a well received one-of-a-kind gift.

Made with all cotton materials purchased at JoAnn Crafts. Straight line quilted with clear thread.

Scrap Quilt

I had a bunch of leftover scraps from a large quilt, and thought I would try and copy another quilt I saw. Just sewing together all the scraps into long stripes, and adding some sashing between them.

Friendship Star

Another baby quilt from left overs.

Free-motion quilted. I didn't like how that turned out. Should straight line quilt on the diaginal, next time.
It is easy to cut enough for more than one quilt.

Scrappy Nine Patch

I thought I would use some of my leftover Red and Gold fabric for a nine patch quilt. I did have to buy more fabrics at Jo Ann Crafts, but that almost always happens with scrap quilts.

Didn't turn out quilt as nice as I was thinking... but that is also the way quilting goes!

Leftover Red and Gold, plus new red and creams purchased at Jo Ann Crafts in Madison
Free-motion quilted in red
Donated to Operation Top Knot (Soldiers' Angels)
